Charity M.: A workout plan that is long-term.
Ford M.: Lifestyle change for continuous healthy eating.
Kevin T.: I would like to beat the stress test. More importantly, I want to see if I can manage my cholesterol with lifestyle rather than medications. I also want to get my kids accustomed to eating healthy foods and being more active. Getting to a more healthy BMI would also be good for me.
