just learning self control for all is needed- really- portion control is a biggie and putting away extras for other meals before you serve yourself or the family- less chance of overeating. I also know my downfalls and will not buy things I know I have no control over- such as pringles.. so when I want something crunchy I go make popcorn that is healthy and airpopped

I am leaving my car at home and walking instead. It is making a big difference not only for myself, but my kids too.

I drink tea instead of calorie laden drinks.

This year ( like many others) my resolution is to eat healthy, drink plenty of water, give up my Pepsi addiction and exercise everyday for at least 30 minutes. So far I have stuck with it, first time ever. I am eating 3 meals a day, skipping breakfast and lunch was what I had done for years. I learned that that is not the right way to get healthy and lose weight. Your metabolism needs those three meals a day. So far I have lost 10 lbs. since January 1st. My tip is eat those three meals a day and get that water in.

I just started walking and I drink more water than I use to.

plenty of rest and exercise cut back on red meats sugar products and eat smaller portions

I drink more water, exercise, and eat a healthy breakfast. (it usually includes yogurt!)

Commit to eating at least one NATURALLY green, yellow, red or orange item at lunch and dinner.

Eat out less! We're eating out less because it's cheaper and we can keep track of how many calories we ingesting, and hat makes up a serving. Thank you so much for offering this giveaway! eyeslikesugar [at] gmail [dot] com

Drink water not juice. Drink green or white tea, not sodas. Drink healthy, skip the junk.

Learning to put my own condiments on that don't pack on the calories and drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day.

always eat breakfast...and always have a bottle of water handy!

I have made it my goal this year to drink 100 ounces of water a day. I bring a big bottle to my job (teaching kindergarten) and refill it three times. I am noticing MAJOR differences in my skin and hair and I find that I am not nearly as hungry all the time. Also I am a huge fan of the 100 calories snack packs for a small treat so I don't feel like I am depriving myself.

I am keeping a journal of diet tips
and recipes to follow. The doctors piut my husband on a strict diet so I am searching daily for great healthy recipes and tips.

I've started walking at least three times a week and I'm taking a multi-vitamin. Also drink lots of water before a meal, you'll eat less.

I am starting to walk more each day and drink more water. I keep packets of True Lemon and sweetener with me to add to the water to give it some taste.

I'm working out with a buddy. We keep each other motivated. I have also cut out refined sugar.

I'm going raw.

Stopped drinking all soda.

I'm eliminating the junk food that is usually kept in the house where I will have to make smart eating choices.
Thanks!

Walk or ride my bike 3x a week when weather permits. Also, stop drinking soda.....water is the way to go.

I'm trying to eat more whole grains and walk my dog

If it isn't in sight you won't be tempted! We limit sweets and junk food in the house.

Excersize. Do it as a family. We love to take family bike rides and walks. Also drink plenty of water- it keeps you full.
Don't buy junk, if it's not in the house, it won't be eaten!

Try to eat fruits and veggies in a rainbow of colors. I know I need to work on getting more water and whole grains in my diet.

If sweets and treats can't get into the house...then they can't be consumed. If I leave a plate of carrot and celery sticks on the counter then the kids will eat those up.

I am trying to fill up my water bottle at least 3 times a day so I get enough water. I don't usually drink enough water. That's my health goal and thought :)

I follow your blog.

Always have healthy options as what you see first and put junk food out of sight.

I push myself to exercise as much as possible.

I workout 6 days a week

I eat whatever I want. What's most important to health is a person's level of activity and cancelling out those calories we take in. There's too much focus on what we put in our mouths an not on how active we are.

Eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible every day.

I east salads with fresh fruit fot lunch!

I'm hoping to eliminate sugar from my diet completely but it's very difficult.

jimmyrug@hotmail.com

I have cut out having a coke or two every day and am instead drinking water and trying to eat more vegatables and just be more aware of how much and what all I am eating.

DRINK MORE WATER, EAT LESS RED MEAT AND WORK OUT MORE
snowyatnite@yahoo.com

I'm drinking a lot more water this year, and to my surprise I find that now I actually WANT to drink it!

I'm following you as Table4Five.

This year, I am switching the family over from white bread and pasta to whole wheat, and trying to add more fiber wherever I can. Now they have granola bars and yogurt with fiber, so that helps a lot. THanks for the great giveaway.

Get exercise in at odd moments...
-lift hand weights while watching TV
-vigoriously clean so you work out your arm muscles
-put on a CD and dance around while waiting for your morning coffee to be made

Way more water and less fast food

Less sugar in my diet

my diet is almost completely organic

Eating several smaller meals spread throughout the day keeps me from eating too much at one meal.

My best tip is to stay focused, drink lots of water, and just say no.

I limit my sugar intake try to eat more fruits and vegetables

I'm trying to be more active this year and eat more fresh fruits and veggies for snacks

tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com

I make sure I have lots of healthy snack options around like fresh fruit, low-salt nuts, low-fat yogurt and fresh veggies. This way we aren't tempted to grab a bag of chips. We also drink lots of water and walk daily.

I exercise daily!

mzpaw@yahoo.com

If you have to drink soda, try to gradually water it down until its 1 part soda to 3 parts water. I did this slowly and now I'm so used to it that I love it.

I started eating 2 cloves of garlic everynight at bedtime, walking everyday and drinking half of my body weight in water everyday...very cold water.

TRY TO WALK EVERYDAY AND WATCH WHAT I EAT! TRY NOT TO USE TO MUCH SALT!

drink lots of water!

Oops I forgot to leave my email...

The way I have been staying in shape. I hit the gym 4 to 5 times a week. I also have smart start cereal. once a week I bike for 60 min. Good luck all.
Stay healthy!

Walk with a friend.

I try to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, dry water instead of soda, and take a nice walk everyday.
farrell@crosslake.net

Drink more water and cut out sugar filled drinks.

we got the WII fit for Christmas and I have been doing it a lot with my kids. It is really fun and gets everyone off the couch.
harborlad@optonline.net

I try never to have useless calories in the house. Never go shopping on an empty stomach or go down the candy isle. Walking with friends at night and have a goal outfit that I will buy myself.

I try to drink water or 100% juice at home, so I only have the occasional sugary soda when dining out. When I have my daily requirement of chocolate, I drink a full glass of milk and drink some between each bite; when the milk is gone, I stop eating the chocolate. It's a way to control how much sugar and fat I'm eating while still getting my fix.

I am buying fresh fruits every time I'm in the grocery store. Canned and frozen are too easy to overlook at home as snacks. Fresh are right there on the counter ready to be eaten.

I walk more.
I always take the farthest parking spot on purpose because I feel like the complaint "im too busy to excercise" is ridiculous, their are many little things you can do.

I plan on drinking more acai berry and doing daily exercise, yoga, pilates and weights to get stronger in muscle and bones

I try to stay away from home to avoid snacking all day, and I exercise 3 times per week.

I try to keep all the healthy snacks (like fruits and veggies) out in the open where they're easy to see and grab when you feel snack-y.

We do still have some not so healthy snacks (although I try not to keep them around as much!) but I make sure to put those in cupboards and behind other things so they're not the first thing you grab to munch on!

I try to drink a lot of water to fill up.

I have been drinking a homemade fresh fruit smoothie every night. This yogurt would be great to add in them.

I have learned that I have to eat breakfast and also drink My water!

I also follow

oh how i've become a yogurt fien... since I found out I was pregnant I've been eating yogurt as if i'm going to the electric chair.... I also plan on breastfeeding so if there's one thing i will definately continue to do that's healthy its eating my yogurts. I'd love to try new flavors, as I'm running out of new ones to try. I am a rabbit in disguise as well, my husband says, since I'm always eating fresh fruits and veggies. Hopefully, with a well-balanced diet, my fruits & veggies, my vitamins and my constant walking (as i don't drive and live in NY, NY)I hope to get back down to my pre-preggo weight ASAP. wish me luck!!!

Eat a healthy breakfast every day.

Eat a well balamced diet. Incorporate exercise into daily activities. At work spend 15 minutes of lunch break walking or exercising. garrettsambo@aol.com

I try to stay well hydrated.

i've learned to switch to salad plates when plating my meals. We eat less and don't feel as thought we're missing anything. We also drink water and only have a non-water drink once a day.

Breakfast is the breakfast of champions! I have found if I eat breakfast, I don't snack all day. There are so many varieties of yogurt now, it's almost like eating dessert. We also drink sugar free drink mix that has artificial sweeteners added. Sugar Free pudding made with skim milk, topped with fat free whipped topping. Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway!

I have learned to drink more water and add more fresh fruits and veggies to my diet!~

I walk 2 miles a day and try to get enough sleep

I find that it's easier to follow a good diet if you give in maybe once or twice a month to your cravings. I stick to my eating plan for two weeks, then give myself a 'cheat' meal, consisting of whatever it is I want, whether it's pancakes with butter and syrup or a messy fast food taco. :-)
