What's Your Style, Dad?
Mothers have long been blamed (wrongly or not) for problems in their offspring, from autism to eating disorders. But new research shows that dads' parenting style influences his children's weight.
According to researchers from the Centre for Community Child Health at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, and the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, children whose fathers are permissive or disengaged are more likely to have overweight children. Those fathers who are involved and have a consistent parenting style, with clear boundaries and follow through are less likely to have overweight children.
The message? Clean up your parenting act, dad, and get out there and play with your child!

Hello, This is Mary
I am 36 years old with 2 toddlers. My youngest just started day care last week- which still feels a little strange. I haven't had this much time to myself in years. First thing I want to do is lose the extra pounds I put on during the last pregnancy. One of the girls next door has suggested I join her walking group two days a week. After my first pregnancy I lost around 35 pounds using the Herbalife products, but when I called the man that sold them to me three years ago he told me this week he doesn't sell them anymore. He told me to look on the internet. It's disappointing because he was really nice and he called me regularly to make sure I was using their products correctly. It was nice to have someone checking in with me every week to see how I was and it kept me motivated.
I searched on the internet for someone that sells Herbalife in New Jersey. I found many websites but I don't want
just to buy the products, I want to find someone trustworthy that sells the products so I can also meet them and get started again.
Could anybody here recommend someone in New Brunswick?
.
Thanks, Mary
