Getting Started with Weight Loss

• Eat slowly, and try not to eat while doing other things, like watching TV or reading
• Take smaller servings and don’t take "seconds"
• Eat more fruit and vegetables for fiber and to help fill you up
• Try not to eat fried foods, and use very little butter and oils
• Find an activity that you like, such as walking or riding your bike
• Make time to exercise all or most days of the week
• Reward yourself for your successes and progress
