Healthy Living - Healthy Weight and Lifestyle Changes

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has a great site with lots of links and tips for making lifestyle changes for a Healthy Weight. You can check it out Here I really enjoyed reading the Success Stories - they are very inspirational, especially when you might get discouraged in your own health journey. You might want to start with the Getting Started guide which provides a nice overview of steps to take for beginning weight loss. For me, personally, I found the Eating Habits article especially helpful. Once you start assessing what goes in your mouth at every meal/snack, then you start to realize what some of your weak points really are (and then we can insert some denial). And there's also a Physical Activity page which shows some activities and the corresponding calorie loss. Seems like even stretching for 30 minutes will burn 90 calories - enough to burn off a small snack. :-)
