[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get the whole family bikes this summer and hit the trails every other morning, increase the distance on each outing.  The pounds should start falling off, especially if they change at least some eating habits. [/quote]

We just did this ourselves. 
1. it burns energy. 
2. it keeps you away from the TV and junk food. 
3. you start feeling like your body is a tool and want to give it good fuel.  
4. you don't want to eat junk when you know you'll feel sick soon on your ride.

And get all junk out of the house and make sure you aren't overweight or otherwise unhealthy yourself or she'll rightly see you as a hypocrite. (And don't think you're fooling anyone by sneaking ice cream when you think they aren't looking.)[/quote]

When i began riding, it changed my eating habits too.  I also became addicted to excercise. After getting off my bike, i would immediately want to go for a walk.  When i got home i wanted to stretch and do sit ups.  It changes your mindset and these things come automatically.  And you will never want to skip a day even in bad weather.  You'll feel like the world has ended without that bike ride, etc.  I got the bike idea from my college textbook when i took a walking for fitness class in college.  The book said the bike is the best excercise because its easy on joints and you get a full body workout, especially stomach area, since you are pulling your  full body weight.  It tones and elongates leggs too.  It will be hard at first.  Your bottom will have to get used to the seat but it gets better and better. [/quote]
