Ok who is making the leap to a healthy life style in 2006? If you are here’s a little help.

Knowing your BMI is a good start. This is a link to calculate your BMI and Daily caloric intake. http://www.bcm.edu/cnrc/caloriesneed.htm

2005 Food Pyramid Dietary Guidelines http://www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines/dga2005/document/

Don’t for get to set reasonable goals. If you set your goals to high you are setting yourself up to fail. For example a weight loss goal of 15lbs by June is reasonable but 50lbs is not. If you loose more than the 15 lbs that’s a bonus. And you have SUCCEEDED.
