  • Check out your gym's classes. I joined the YMCA and they have an indoor pool and water aerobics (1 hrs. sessions). Between that, the classes, and taking a book while doing 5-8 miles on the recumbent bike makes time go by fast. I also do the machines. The YMCA is on a monthly basis, not a yearly contract. And that helps.

  • South Beach is a lot better than Atkins. It is low carb AND low fat. My friend did his own "lifestyle change" eating, stuck to 50 "bad" carbs a day, and lost 85 lbs. between May 31, 2010 and December 1, 2010.
