We've been encouraging you to make small, incremental changes away from the chair. Look for opportunities to move more throughout your day while focusing on just "one thing" to prioritize for now. One thing that you'll keep on doing long after Sit Less Boot Camp is over.
Making small, modest changes that stick is also the recommendation of Dr. Mike Evans in this "Change Chart". And it's equally appropriate for weight loss as it is for becoming more active.
Dr. Evans has a series of whiteboard videos and they are all interesting, informative and entertaining. My favorite is
"23 and1/2 hours" but all of his videos that I've seen have been excellent.

I certainly do! I couldn't stick to this weight-loss business if I had to give up chocolate, pizza and other things like that!

My improvised standing desk. I'm starting out doing this twice a day for 30 minutes, working up to two hours a day.

I LOVE THIS POST!!!! I will be keeping that for my files. Today was a successful day. I managed to exceed all my targets today including steps (14,950 of 10,000), 659 of 590 calories burned, 71 of 30 minutes of exercise, and 11 of 12 "stands" for the day (but it's only 7PM!) -- all this according to my iWatch. I have also logged all my foods today and am under my calorie allotment.1

Excellent @SnagTop! Exceeding your targets is a terrific feeling! And I'm glad you like the Change Chart!1

I will do squats and calf raises once an hour. It's totally doable. I am finding more ways to move during the day.0
