Journal your daily food and beverage intake. You can find a great link on our site for an online food and exercise journal, that will help you figure out how many calories you need to drop weight, and how many you had had each day! Park in a parking spot far from the door, take the stairs, take a walk around the block, vacuum, sneak in exercise anyway you can. Get active!! Thanks Britt!
