I casually remarked to him that I'd started exercising, and he seemed really interested. I've been obese for the most part of my life, and my dad, ex-military, well, you can imagine. We've never really been that close. But he seemed genuinely interested in looking up exercises for me and stuff. It felt really good.

maybe, when I've lost enough, we can exercise together.

Awww

Thats great!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you.

Sweet!! Why wait till your small enough? If he's willing, he could workout with you and sort of be a trainer for you.

Yeah, I say go ahead and start now. Hope it will be a good opportunity for you both to get closer.

What a great way to bond together!

That's so great! My dad and my sister have always been really close through activity, so part of my weight loss goals have also been to try and bond with him through running, hockey, or any of the other million things he enjoys. I'm glad to see that someone else knows what I mean!

I'm so happy for you!! !! I hope you have a lot of fun and productive exercising time with your dad!!

So exciting!!! I've never bonded with my dad so I'm happy that you have the opportunity to do so.

I agree with the others, since he seems so interested perhaps you two can start the process now!!

Best of luck with the experience.
