What's the best SMALL change you've made?

The best small changes I've made are always taking the stairs at the station and at work, and cutting down on the large number of lattes and cappucinos I used to buy. I haven't given up my costa/starbucks/cafe nero habit completely, but the money in my purse is definitely lasting longer these days.

The best small change I've made is not going for second helpings at dinner. One is enough.0

Not sure if I'd call it small, but I cut 99% of bread out of my diet.
I'd have probably 20-26 slices a week. Now I have 0-2 if that.
I never feel bloated anymore. I've had 1 sandwich in 2 months. Highly recommend it, if you can do it. I've dieted many times before, this is the first time I've managed to cut bread out at any meaningful level!
Good luck0 -
The best small change I've made has been switching to water. I cut out soda almost a year ago. I have seen great improvement in my skin and lost five pounds almost right away.0

Cutting out all sodas! Since doing that I never actually have the urge to drink them! Haven't had a can of coke in a long long time which is saying something.. because I used to be a 2-3 can a day kind of girl hahahaha0

Can't pick just one. But the secret for me has been if I eliminate something, I replace it with something else. I don't eliminate anything without substituting.
Stopped using butter, use olive oil.
Stopped using Splenda, use Truvia
Stopped using milk, use AlmondMilk
Stopped fried foods, cook grilled or stir fry
Stopped coffee, drink herbal teas
Stopped yogurt, use Greek yogurt
Stopped sweet ice tea, drink water w/lemon
Stopped fattening breakfast choices, drink a fruit smoothie
the list goes on . . .0 -
Logging ALL my food. So I can't lie to myself about how much I'm eating.:blushing:0

And water, I used to drink 10 diet Pepsi a week or so, give or take. Now I drink one diet Pepsi a week and a gallon of water a day.0

No sodas and no caffeinated products at all. Stopping caffeine had less to do with weight loss and more to do with the fact I was drinking so many cups of coffee and tea I wasn't getting a boost of energy from the caffeine. I could have drank a pot of coffee and immediately lain down for a nap. I spent a week snarling at people and dozing off, but now I feel more energetic than I ever have. Also, now if I actually NEED a little boost, a cup of coffee will actually do it's job. Bonus: less coffee drove me to drink more water.0

Bought myself an activity tracker and realized how sedentary my life was - eye opening for me and a great motivator. This small change (along with tracking everything on MFP) has made all the difference in getting me active as well as loosing.
