Because I'm too fat....

Get out there and do it.

My wife and I started around the beginning of the year focusing on a better diet as a way to lose the weight. With only a healthier diet and portion control I saw 20lbs drop off over the course of <6 months. No exercise other than keeping with my 4 knuckleheads. I still want to employ some sort of exercise regiment, but for now we are maintaining the weight and enjoying finding new ways to cook that keep us interested. We still splurge every now and again by going out to eat and over eating, but by and large our plan so far has been very successful.

At the end of the day I believe that exercise is very key, but it definitely goes hand in hand with providing your body with the correct amount and the correct balance of food to achieve your goals. Having the personal trainer should give you a big leg up in putting together a great plan.

I look forward to reading your progress.
