[quote=Anonymous]Just want to add that it isn’t all or nothing, you can make small changes and work them into your routine and then add more.  Around two years ago I started meal planning to make dinners more varied, about 18 months ago I made more conscious health changes to our diet to address my DH’s health, and then 3 months ago I started a conscious weight loss program (WW) and started meal prepping lunches.  Each step built on the other.  I have always been active but have not formally exercised since pre kids (I was a dancer in my youth and did distance bike riding, never a runner).  A year ago I replaced driving to work with walking/metro, replaced a 20 minute drive with a 45 minute walk/metro combination but that is 40 minutes of brisk walking built into my day.  This summer I have started working out to streaming videos in the morning and then do yoga for stretching.  I was already waking up at 5:30ish now I wake up by 5.  The big difference is that I am now going to bed by 10.

My point is I did not make all these changes at once, each one was incremental and manageable.  I have lost 15 pounds in the last 3 months through diet changes and I am feeling stronger than I have in a long time.

My kids are a teen and a tween and I am in my mid 50s.  [/quote]
