Small Steps

Health and Human Services has launched a website called "Small Step."  
It's all about the little things we can change... and have a big impact on our general health and well being.

From SmallStep.gov:
All of these factors may contribute to the fact that two out of every three Americans are now overweight or obese -- defined as having a body mass index over 25 -- and that number is rising.

HHS says 61% of adults in the United States were overweight or obese in 1999.   Reducing your calorie intake by 150 calories a day, along with participating in moderate activity, could double your weight loss and is equivalent to approximately 10 pounds in 6 months and 20 pounds in 1 year.
