[quote=Anonymous]I saw my daughter's gaining due to this sedentary lifestyle in May. I ditched some junk food like junky cereals my husband was buying and did oatmeal for my teen and granola for my toddler or Honey Bunches of Oats with almonds. It is better than the super sugary stuff but she won't eat oatmeal. I did a fun thing called, Try me, and once a week we try a new fruit or vegetable. Now, my kids eat Kiwi, Starfruit, pomegranate, and mangoes. I cut portions and make balanced dinners sometimes with no carbs with it. Also, my 4 yo drinks no juice as she was the one gaining weight the fastest. I allow the teen a few cups of Cran Grape a week, as she was obsessed with juice. I only drink water with my toddler. And, every break we can get, we are outside walking, riding bikes, and hiking. I feel that we have done much better. The teen now even does Pilates with me. I am newly overweight due to very little movement for months after a surgery and harsh meds, so she is helping me get back to my normal fit self. [/quote]
