control snacking
- I finally got my snacks under control. I make sure I always have healthy snacks available and keep the tempting ones out of my house.

packing a lunch
- I started bringing my lunch to work, so I'm more in control of what I eat and less tempted to grab a quick, high-calorie lunch. It's helping me save money, too!

frequent smaller meals
- I'll eat 5-6 small meals (250-300 calories)throughout the day to keep my metabolism high and to avoid binge eating.

60 minutes of exercise
- I'm trying to run or do another form of exercise for 60 minutes every day. Some days I have to split it up and do 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night, but I manage to get it in most days. It's working -- I've lost 12 pounds in 3 months.
