The Plan

Here are the strategies I plan to use to lose weight:

1. Breakfast - I will focus on low-fat, high-fiber meals.

2. Lunch - I will prepare lunches in the morning at least 4 times per week, and focus on low-fat, high-fiber meals.

3. Dinner and dessert- I will focus on portion control.

4. I will drink a full glass of water with lunch and dinner every day.

5. I will not consume anything other than water between 8pm and 6am each day (except one "special day" each week).

6. I will take a walk for exercise 4 times per week; I will do another form of exercise at least twice per week.

7. I will create a chart with weekly weight goals and record my weight on the chart each Friday.

8. I will plan (in advance) to have healthy snacks and beverages between meals.

9. I will generally try to burn more calories by taking stairs, being more active, parking farther from stores, etc.

10. I will set goals, chart progress, and record my thoughts throughout the process.
