Why only three months? Lifestyle changes last over the long-term... 

Looks like you are off to a great start! Best of luck to u ! 

I was going to say as well. 3 months perhaps to get where you want to be. Then, it's lifetime of enjoyment and management. Good for you, Kea. We're here to help any way we can. 

@HCB three months just to get in the habit of eating healthy and exercising. I'm a lazy bum and I've been abusing unhealthy food. If I can pull off 3 months, I know I'll definitely be able to pull off a lifetime commitment of staying healthy. @jojoPollock thank you so much. @Northernmusician, exactly. The three months is just to discipline myself and actually get in the habit. I want to make this a lifestyle thing. Thank you for the support 

After I joined a gym it took a while to discipline myself to go, I made excuses, it wasn't until January that I got serious. One thing that helped me was buying a pedometer to keep track of my steps and also strength training. Take different classes that your gym offers to see what you like whether it's step aerobics, spin class, kickboxing, piyo, zumba etc. that will keep you interested in continuing to go. I think that you are starting with a great mindset realizing that it will take time, discipline and that it is a lifestyle change not just a temporary thing.  

Thank you @cakebaker. I sure will.
