I've lost 60 lbs and returned my blood pressure to the normal range - and my commute is only 3 miles one way. I'm also lucky to live in an urban area and this has allowed me to forgo purchasing a car. So no payments, no gas, no insurance, no major expenses. Bicycle repair is dirt cheap in comparison and it's a whole lot easier to learn to do basic mechanical repair than with a motor vehicle. I also know some families who have been able to live easily with just one car thanks to bike commuting. If you can, commuting to work by bike will save you money and help you lose weight.

I'm so glad I started going to the gym regularly! The clothing part is something I’ve never really thought of, even though my mom always told me how expensive her XXL dresses are.

I know mine (and others) credit you for your gym membership if you go more than 100 times in a year. Usually have to ask your gym to print you out a sheet, send it off to them and they'll credit you for it. Not a bad deal, getting paid for staying fit.

In addition to insurance costs, don't forget the reduction in actual medical costs. Long-term treatments for obesity-related illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, joint and back problems, and the like can be ruinous. That’s an interesting take.

We also share restaurant meals which makes our dinner's out half the price of most people's nights out. Mr Chiot's and I have been fit all of our lives, it's one of those things that you don't want to neglect because it's much harder to get back into shape than it is to maintain proper fitness. This year we have been trying to eat locally and seasonally and this has helped make us healthier than ever. We eat tons of fresh veggies (we grow some ourselves) and we're buying locally raised pastured meats (beef, pork, chicken & turkey). We have found that we're eating a lot less processed food and that is saving us tons of money each month. Local veggies in season are inexpensive (I just got a bushel of apples for $2 - yes that makes them about .06/lb try finding that price at a grocery store). On average we're saving about $100 a month on groceries. You eat less, which saves cash. We also share restaurant meals which makes our dinner’s out half the price of most people’s nights out.
