What changes will you make to lose weight?

Honestly, what are you willing to change to lose weight?

To lose weight you must take in fewer calories than you use. You can increase your activity to use more calories than before. You can eat fewer calories. Or you can do both.

To keep the weight off the changes you make must be permanent. Fasting won't cut it. Eating just one thing won't work. Those are not sustainable changes. Some reasonable suggestions are listed below.

Commit publicly to making at least one change. Tell your friends you don't eat more than one dessert per day, ever. Write your change on a post it note and post it on your mirror or refrigerator. Select your change from our poll. It may not be enough to simply tell yourself in your mind you will make the change; let it out, shout it out. Be proud of yourself, you are changing your lifestyle for the better.

I will exercise more every day.

I will eliminate all snacks except fruit/nuts between meals.

I will eat no meat at all at least 1 day each week.

I will eat more fish and poultry and less red meat.

I will eat more whole grains and less refined carbs.

I will eat the same foods as before only smaller portions.

I will drastically reduce my consumption of sweets & desserts.

I will make 2 or 3 of the above changes.

I will make 4 or more of the above changes.

bon appetit!
