10 Helpful Habits- By Kathleen M. Zelman
Weight control is all about making small changes that you can live with forever. As you incorporate these minor adjustments into your lifestyle, you'll begin to see how they can add up to big calorie savings and weight loss. Here are my top 10 habits to help you!

5 Fat-Burning Strategies- By Kathleen Dohney
Here's how to work out, eat right -- and lose fat
