We should practice a healthy lifestyle so that we can live a long healthy productive life. It should not be done to please someone else. It is actually not very difficult to maintain a healthy weight as long you care for yourself. What you eat is very important. If you care for your body & mind, you should consume healthy food. This should go hand in hand with REGULAR exercise. Eat everything moderately.

I lost 40lbs in 1 1/2 yrs thru healthy eating & exercise. Manage to do it while bf my 2nd boy (bf him without formula for 2 1/2 yrs). We should not go into fad diets as you will not be able to maintain the weight loss for long. I am still maintaining my target weight for 2 yrs now. Since losing the weight I am healthier, have more energy with my boys & my outlook in life has certainly changed for the better.
