Starting new habits
Healthy living isn't so much about the big things; rather, our health depends on the cumulative effects of our day-to-day lifestyle. So whether you're trying to lose weight, get more fit, improve your diet or all three, focus on making small, lasting changes for the best results.

To help make things easier for you, we've come up with this handy checklist (see below) so you can focus on just two goals a week. Print one out, fill in your goals, post your checklist on the fridge or in another prominent location and check off your progress day by day. Once the week's over, you can decide whether to maintain those goals as you work on your new ones.
