Without having actually read it LOL), I'll venture to say that I'm following the "change one" plan from Reader's Digest. I'll set a goal and try to stick to it just for the week. Once that becomes habit, one week at a time, I'll make another change. That said, my current two goals are exercise and water intake. I'm not aiming for a set amount of water, but rather limiting myself to ONLY water.
As far as exercise, I've got a daily quota that is "mandatory", and then I'll walk several times a week--2.5 miles a day. My daily exercises are as follows:
crunches: 4 sets of 35
cycling: 4 sets of 5 mins (I lay on my back and cycle my legs in the air)
leg lifts: 50 on each side with no break
pushups: 4 sets of 10
aerobic: 4 sets of 15 mins (this is usually stepping or lunging to music or music videos)
As long as I do that every day and don't leave and "holes" in my completion chart, I'll feel like I can't miss it! So far so good--BOTH days, LOL! I can do it throughout the day, so it's just a series of relatively simple steps to accomplish.
I can't weigh in, so I'll just have to focus on measurements for now. That's not altogether a bad thing, because I tend to get wrapped up in the numbers!
I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hi and welcome!
Sounds like you have a terrific start!

By the way, I'm very impressed by your exercise regime. If I do half of that per day, I'd be lucky.
