Spokesperson Lori Casselman says that's why it's better if you don't try to make a big lifestyle change all by yourself.
"We know from experience that it's a lot easier to stay motivated and on track when you make lifestyle changes together with the friend or loved one," says Casselman, "so you can support one another through the process."
Forty per cent of all Ontarians surveyed planned to exercise more in 2011.
