So, if you’re like the majority of the United States adult population, you’re overweight. Unfortunately, with increased weight come increased health concerns. And if this concerns you, it should. It’s time to take action.  

Begin by seeing your doctor. He or she can give you the information you need to begin a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Consultation with a nutritionist or dietitian on healthy eating and diet also may be in order. It’s vital that you begin to take the necessary steps to get healthy. This will mean less processed foods and a more nutritious diet based on the food pyramid; more fruits and vegetables and less fats and sugars. And it will mean less sitting and more walking. It will take determination and a desire to succeed.   

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, find an accountability partner (or a support group)—someone else who is motivated to lose weight and will help you to do so.

Having a partner/buddy to do work at this type of stuff with is a huge help.
That's why people who do muscle training usually have a friend to do it with;
that and spotting. Helps you to push through the bad days.

Finding a buddy

I'm having trouble finding a buddy. I'd like to find someone to go walking. If
I can put it on my calendar it seems to get done - if it is not on my calendar -
oops I forget.

Just seems like food tastes to good. I think it must be a life style change. I
am trying to cut out sugar from my diet. Been about 6 months now. Noticed some
difference.
