It’s a lot easier to gain weight than it is to lose it. Quite often, we don’t notice it sneaking up on us; a few pounds here or there, a few skipped trips to the gym, a few nights we’re too tired to go for a run or do more than order pizza for dinner. Before we know it, we’re packing on extra weight. We aren’t sure how it could have happened so easily, and we don’t know how to get started with successfully losing the excess pounds and getting back in shape.
