    This is such a great segment. I started my weight loss journey over 2 years ago and I started with parking further away from the door, not using the drive-thru(if I didn’t feel like getting out to get it, then that meant I didn’t need it), and using the steps. Now I have lost 100 lbs and I have changed my lifestyle. It’s great to have curves as I have come to grips with the fact that I always will, but coming from a family that has many health problems due to weight, I felt like I needed to break the cycle. It can be done. Thanks for this segment!
