What did you change in your daily routine?

Being more consistent about working out in the evenings on work days (the 30 Day Shred has been great for this--short, intense, and definitely effective). I don't have time to work out in the mornings, so I used to just tell myself I'd catch up on the weekends. But I never did. This way, I'm working out in the evenings AND working out more on the weekends.

I started riding my bike to work after joining mfp. Big calorie burner there since its 6 miles one way with some nice hills.

I've increased cardio on strength days by at least 20-30 minutes and I'm more strict with foods I eat: more veggies, LOTS of fruit, and I make sure no matter what to stay within my calories for the day.

Aside from being consistent with my 30 to 60 mins of cardio, I log on here every day.

Another welcomed change is turning our family weekends into activity-based weekend, be it hiking, playing Lazertag or frisbee., we're teaching the kids to get moving.

weigh out foods to get proper portions--it has helped with my wallet also--food seems to last longer when I eat the appropriate serving size!!! Who knew a bag of chips could last so long!

I've gone from "I only get THAT much," to "Wow, I get THAT much!" Logging in daily has also helped so much. It for sure makes me more accountable for the food choices I'm making.

i workout at least 20 minutes a day and often longer than that.... the only other exercise i used to get was when i was getting out my car and walking into the house, job, food place..etc..... so i have came along way this one month i have been on here

Getting my lazy tail off the couch and on the treadmill!

Exercise, exercise, exercise. I used to get 60 minutes/week (if that!). Now I'm diligent to get 60 mins 5-6 times/week. I also wear my heart rate monitor and shoot for 600-800 calories burned (which takes a lot more effort than I want to give sometimes).

Watching my calories increase throughout the hour is very motivating.

I used to never think that I had the time (or the energy) to work out. I MADE the time and now I have energy bursting out of me. I used to be exhausted by 30 mins on the treadmill/elliptical. Now I can do 60 mins of circuit training and I'm tired, but I've got more stamina than I could have imagined!!

The first big change I made was to not allow sodas into my house, not even when company is over! I have been consistently exercising 5 days a week for several months and had a huge weight gain that spurred me into trying something different. I change my cardio and strength training routine randomly, and I have begun to count calories. I have lost 3 lbs in 3 weeks!!

Another thing that hasn't really effected me is alcohol intake. I do not drink very much, so the ones I do drink are more as treats. However, that is a big one for many people. Even if you drink just 1 a night at dinner, cut that down to 3 a week, and you'll see a big difference...just a helpful tidbit.

I don't have Taco Bell every night for dinner.

I have mostly conquered my candy habit and I have increased my fruit and veggie intake by +++. I also have been working on eating breakfast for a while, but I am not making an effort to eat more in the morning and at lunch so that I eat less later in the day. I have been exercising more and taking this a lot more seriously since I started here.

My drastic change was getting up at 5am & working out every day.

Weighing my food and keeping to proper serving sizes. May take a few more minutes to make dinner, but it's sooooooooo worth it!

Also, bringing my lunch to work

I now take in 0 calories in beverages - it's only water and the occasional diet pepsi for me!
