The best way is by example.  Create an exercise program for yourself and invite your kids to join you.  Eat healthy yourself and tell them how good you're feeling, offer them your foods.  Most kids want to please their parents.  Good luck!\n\nPS - with all due respect to others, that software program is cruel.  It puts the idea into the heads of children that if they DO end up looking like this, they will somehow be less worthy of your love.  BAD IDEA.  \n\nTell your children they are wonderful and perfect the way they are, then make weight loss and healthy eating a positive thing, not a "do this to fix the bad in your life" thing.    PLEASE don't make your children ever feel like your love is affected by their physical appearance!  (I DESPISE that new TLC show!)

I have found that joining a class..like aerobics helps the best!!  That way you arent doing it alone, and when you have a class to go to, you are more opt to keep at it. Of course, with 3 kids, I know it can be hard..I have 3 myself. And keep track of what you eat in a daily journal.  Good Luck!!

Don't force a kid to eat.  Instead do the following:\n\n--Give him vitamins.\n--Make sure he only has access to healthy foods.\n\nThink about quality, not quantity of food.  Otherwise, you'll set your child up for a lifetime of eating disorders and weight problems.  \n\nOnly provide healthy foods.  Just let the kid eat as much or as little as he wants.  He won't starve himself to death.\n\nPlus, it sounds like he needs his tonsils out.  A good diet can't improve bad tonsils.  Ask your doctor about a tonsilectomy.

Know what you mean. 48 years old with a 26 and 23 year old and a 21 month old. I have plenty of will power. Yes I will have seconds. Yes I will have desert. It's won't power that I seem to lack! No I won't have that chocolate eclair! Determination has been my key. Don't try to diet. Try instead simply to eat healthy. Fresh fruits and veggies, fish and chicken. Stay away from processed foods, packaged foods, or anything fried. Drink plenty of water. Use olive oil and snack on raw almonds or walnuts. Just a few are very filling. By doing this I have lost 51 pounds and I feel terrific! More energy than I've ever had.

Eat whenever you get hungry for now.  Take some food in a container and eat it whenever you get the urge.  You need the nutrition, your body can't function properly without it.

3 quick tips\n\n1) Keep simple stats on your 1st 3 games(while they're still "gearing up"). At mid season start complimenting  them individually for bringing up their average, RBIs, cutting down on strike-outs etc. Motivate them to get better!\n\n2)Pizza party or ice cream for a "best effort" game - win or lose!\n\n3) If they are coming out flat after a rough loss, challenge them for just 1 or 2 more hits this week than last...and let the kids help motivate themselves.\n\nIt's all for fun, but winning and being recognized for getting better are great motivators

Try these simple tips;\n\n1. Drink a plenty of plain water!\n\n2. Chew your food slowly\n\n3. Avoid taking food that kept in the bottle or jug. you will not realize how much you ate. But pick up a handful of it and put in a small plate.\n\n4. Cut your favorite fruits into a cute slices to replace unhealthy snack.\n\n5. Bring a bottle of mineral water anywhere you go. You'll find that you're not interested to buy carbonated drink. Even when you feel thirsty!\n\n6. Get enough sleep. Tiredness will make you eat more high calories foods.\n\n7. Take your foods away from TV. Removes all the foods to the kitchen. It will make you feel lazy to take it from there.\n\n8. Brush your teeth and your tongue. Making this will reduce your desire to chew.\n\n9.  You can take any food that you want. But remember! Take in a small amount!\n\nHave a try!

You are right, what parent would tell their child they were fat!?\n\nDo one thing, next time you are at the doctor's office have the nurse weigh you and then ask the doctor how you compare to other healthy girls your age.  Then you will know if you are just being crazy or if you should watch what you eat.\n\nIf you should watch what you eat, then try this first:\n\nStop drinking sodas!(or pick the worst thing you do regularly, like eat french fries, or drink whole milk and stop that one thing).\n\nThen do this next:\n\nReplace your worst habit with a good habit.  Drink diet sodas (I know sometimes they taste bad, but it is better than nothing, even if it isn't quite as good as drinking a lot of H20).\n\nEasy right!  Just stop one thing and replace it with one thing.  Do it until you feel you love what you do.  It will help you to feel a bit skinnier, and successful.  You are being healthy!  Awesome.  Now, you can try another thing...like....you be creative.....always improving is what it is all about.\n\nOne last thing; if a new food or habit should come along (ie smoking) save yourself the trouble of having to quit it in the future.....don't start bad habits.  Don't start being addicted to cheesecake if you aren't already.\n\nLearn moderation while you are young, you will be so happy with yourself when you turn 30.  Haha.\n\nGood luck my friend

1. Everytime they walk into the room yell "hooray your back!" as loud as you can and dance around for about 5 minutes. Afterwards keep looking at your watch and saying, "Shouldn't you be going somewhere?\n2. Everytime you wake up, start shouting "where the heck am I??" Run around for a while then go back to bed. when they ask what happened, make as if nothing happened.\n3. Buy the Kiddies meal from a well known restuarant and eat the straw and serviette and throw the rest away.\n4. Collect hundreds of pens and put them in the corner, take one pencil and put it in the opposite of the room. Laugh at the pencil.

The best way is by acquiring good habits.  Not just good eating habits but also a couple of rules of thumb:  If eating carbs only do it in the morning b/f 10 a.m, don't eat after 4 or 5 p.m, don't skip meals, drink lots of water.  Stay away from temptation and people who overeat (if family members try to eat at a different time at leat at the beggining), exercise.  Start incorporating these things little by little into your life.  Overdoing anything being diet or exersice will make u not want to do it again so start slowly accepting that u might not be so strong willed all the time and that if u do diviate from your plan b/c of cheesecake or ice cream its OK but u have to pay by exercising more.

I have two kids. I know its tough, but you have to be willing to make changes to your schedule and your menu... if you are not willing then you need to accept that you are probably just going to gain weight. \nGo outside and play soccor or whatever with your kids instead of watching tv.  Clean the house with the music on so you will dance and clean.  When You are taking the garbage out, work your arms like a dumbell. \nStop buying cheetos and crap.. its not good for you or your children. They should be eating well too.. such as Lean protein meats like more chicken and turkey.. do not buy fatty ground beef meat anymore.. \nCook 2 veggies for dinner like, broccoli and cheese and Peas, instead of boxed mac-n-cheese... \nThese are things you should be doing anyway. You have to set a good example to your kids about being healthy too.

Change what types of food are available for this person. If the eating is uncontrollable, then have good foods around. If the junk food is not available, then they will have no choice but to eat the healthier foods. But, make them easily accessible.  \n\nHave the carrot sticks already cut up. Let them eat pretzels instead of Fritos or Cheetos. Instead of soda, have tons of cold  water bottles in the fridge. Yes, they will complain but hey...if you don't bring the junk food around, they can't eat it!

You need to get out pf the house. If you find that you have eaten something "bad", go for a walk around the block. Even just 5 minutes away from the food will help get your mind off it and refocus you.\n\nBut the best strategy is not to have "bad" foods there in the 1st place. Don't use the cop out that it is there for the rest of the family. Healthy eating should be a priority for the whole family so get them started on the fresh fruit and veg too! It will make it easier for you to stick to your diet.\n\nGood luck - it is hard
