The Docs' Step-by-Step Plan COMPLETED!

1. Get Started

Find your favorite meals on the menu planner. When you've picked 'em, stick with 'em. Why? In studies, people who minimize food choices lose more.
Ditch the scale in favor of the tape measure. You'll lose plenty of pounds, but focus on inches instead. Waist size is more important, because belly fat is so strongly linked to heart disease, diabetes, and more.

Test the 20-Minute Workout. Work up to doing it three times a week to get stronger and leaner and banish belly flab.

2. Track Your Progress

My Waistline Tracker
Decide how many inches you want to lose, set your goal, and watch your waistline shrink.

My Walking Tracker
Every day, record how long you walked. Do at least 30 minutes. Rotten weather? Walk around the basement, the office, the mall.
