As Diane made a transition to Oakhurst, California, she was surrounded by nature in all her glory. She had hiking paths, biking trails and just the right kind of weather to go for a walk or a jog. sierrastar.com But, Diane could not avail of any of these. She said in an interview with TODAY, "I felt miserable and depressed because of my weight. I wasn't active at all and I couldn't do all of the things I wanted to."

Why start six months from now? Start today!" collegecandy.com 2. Once you find the motivation to act on the goal, Diane advises to start out small.
