To see a CHANGE make a CHANGE

Always look for ways to change what you're currently doing if it's sabotaging your weight loss efforts, or look for ways to continue doing the good things you're doing if you know they're helping maintain your weight loss and fitness levels. Just because you don't know how to do something today doesn't mean you'll never know how to do it...just keep looking for new ways to motivate yourself, new ways to move more, new ways to eat better and gradually your search will be rewarded.

Movement Is a Medicine

Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional and mental states.

You Are Stronger Than You Think

If you think you'll never have the willpower to create a healthier lifestyle and achieve permanent weight loss, then STOP thinking this way because it is not true...You have the strength to do just about anything you put your mind to. 

Choose ONE SMALL GOAL that you know you can achieve, and every day, start to practice the steps that would make that goal a reality. Your goal could be to eat from a smaller plate, or to exercise for 10 minutes more every day, or instead of five cookies a day you'll eat only two. You'll know your goal is too big if you keep failing at it, in this event choose an even smaller goal and keep practicing it DAILY for a month. At the end of that month choose a new small goal and start practicing this new goal daily as well. Within a year you will have acquired 12 brand new, permanent habits that will prove you do have the strength to change to a healthier lifestyle...and of course the added bonus to this healthier lifestyle is that you would have also found the key to PERMANENT weight loss.

It's Not A Diet

Stop Drinking Soda, Drink Water Instead

If you're someone who's drinking eight or more cups of soda pop a day, instead of eight cups of water, then it may be time for a change. Sweetened drinks are one of the substances linked directly to weight gain, comprising a good portion of daily calorie intake. A possible explanation is that you're consuming calories without feeling full. Read on if you would like to take a step into becoming a healthier person by banning soda from your life.

Change Something You Do Daily

If you can make a small positive change to your diet and exercise lifestyle, and repeat that change daily, you will lose weight and get fitter. Small changes repeated daily eventually lead to BIG results.

MyPyramid contains eight divisions. From left to right on the pyramid are a person and six food groups:

Physical activity, represented by a person climbing steps on the pyramid, to illustrate moderate physical activity every day, in addition to usual activity. The key recommendations for 2005 (other specific recommendations are provided for children and adolescents, pregnant and breastfeeding women, for older adults and for weight maintenance) are:

Engage in regular physical activity and reduce sedentary activities to promote health, psychological well-being, and a healthy body weight. (At least 30 minutes on most, and if possible, every day for adults and at least 60 minutes each day for children and teenagers, and for most people increasing to more vigorous-intensity or a longer duration will bring greater benefits.)

Achieve physical fitness by including cardiovascular conditioning, stretching exercises for flexibility, and resistance exercises or calisthenics for muscle strength and endurance.

Grains, recommending that at least half of grains consumed be as whole grains

Vegetables, emphasizing dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, and dry beans and peas

Fruits, emphasizing variety and deemphasizing fruit juices

Oils, recommending fish, nut, and vegetables sources

Milk, a category that includes fluid milk and many other milk-based products

Meat and beans, emphasizing low-fat and lean meats such as fish as well as more beans, peas, nuts, and seeds
