HI there,

a few ideas .....take the stairs instead of the elevator, park far away from the entrance - whether you go shopping or to work, carry your own groceries and don't let the clerk do it for you.

Hope this helps a little

Thanks for the great tips

Welcome to the forums. Walking to the corner store (or a store several blocks away) when to get a cup of coffee or a diet pop might help. Like 3 or 4 times a week.

tell us what you like to eat for snacks and we might be able to give you suggestions on some good substitions ... one of my favorites is when you have salad, get the dressing on the side; dip the fork in the dressing and then dig in ... tastes exactly the same (i think)

that's a great idea AllCdnBoy...I tried it today and it did taste really good. I still ended up pouring the dressing over my salad, but I am actually not sure why

I'm going to try again tomorrow...
