WeightlossTools

I have been exploring some of the many weightloss tools available on the internet as I begin to dismount this emotional roller coaster which has been my life.  Taking control is not easy, but I need to do this for myself and my family. 
 
I picked up the book Change One by John Hastings.  The concept behind this book is breaking one habit each week for 12 weeks.  Check out the website www.changeone.com
 
 
Week 1:  Breakfast
 
Roughly 300 calories
 
The Basic Menu
  • One grain or starch - roughly a cup of ready-to-eat cereal or a slice of toast
  • One dairy or high-calcium food - a cup of milk or a cup of yogur
  • Fruit - one piece, or an equivalent amount of melon or berries
This is the Change-One way so I checked out another source http://www.dietitian.com/ Their recommendations were very similar:
 

My plan this week is to be more cognizant of breakfast while focusing on my overall health.  Noticed I said health, not diet

So, do you have any weighloss tools that you would like to share?
