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!
1. Evaluate your eating habits. Are you eating late at night, nibbling while cooking, finishing the kids' meals? Take a look around, and it will be easy to identify a few behaviors you can change that will add up to big calorie savings.

5 Fat-Burning Strategies- By Kathleen Dohney
Here's how to work out, eat right -- and lose fat
You work out zealously and eat healthy meals -- at least most of the time -- and the pounds are starting to drop off. You're looking and feeling more toned, too, just as you'd hoped. But with all this effort, shouldn't you lose fat? Shouldn't the flab be dissolving faster? If you're of a certain age, you know the flab we're talking about. If you're a woman, you may still have the dreaded muffin top, that slab of fat that spills stubbornly over the top of your best jeans, spoiling the look. Or if you're a man in that same bracket, you may have the unsightly pot belly that adds years to your otherwise youthful physique. Shouldn't fat burning be faster? Not to mention easier? WebMD consulted an exercise physiologist and an exercise physiologist/registered dietitian to find out how best to burn fat -- once and for all!
Here are their five best fat-burning strategies:
1. How to Burn Fat: Get Realistic
Get real tip No. 1: "You can't spot reduce," says Darlene Sedlock, PhD, an associate professor of kinesiology at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind. "Nobody wants to hear that."
Translation: If you're hankering to get rid of the jeans spillover or the pot belly, you need to burn fat from head to toe. "Anything to reduce your overall body fat will help," she says.

"I really like Josie's attitude. She is always there to push me and help me in whatever I may need. During the workouts, Josie instructs me on different exercises. She makes sure that I use correct form and breathe correctly which I always seem to forget. I have noticed improvement in several areas. I am very active in water sports and can tell a large difference in my endurance. I use to get worn out after several rides but now I feel like I can go all day long. My strength has definitely increased. I look back at the weight I began lifting and compare it to what I do now. What a difference! My body fat has decreased by over 5 points. Josie's attitude and desire to help me reach my goals is what makes it all worthwhile.

"I use to think working out was boring until I started working out with Cole. He makes it fun and enjoyable by keeping me motivated and moving. He is always motivating and positive, it doesn't matter what kind of day I've had Cole can always get me moving. I feel great after a work out! It really makes a difference for me to have a plan when I workout, that way I'm in and out fast and still reaching my goals. I look better, feel better, and have fun working out. I wanted to lose 10 pounds when I first started working with Cole, I've lost 18!"

"James really listens to my goals and questions. Calm and encouraging, always explaining what and how my body language is telling him on how to train. He pays close attention to what my workout is telling him and knows when I need to take a drink, rest, or keep going. I always feel motivated when I leave. I am a lot stronger my chart shows it, I feel it, and you can see it."
