Wear a pedometer and focus on getting up to 10,000 steps per day.

1. Practice portion control.
   Avoid overeating at mealtime by paying attention to correct portion sizes. Serving your food away from the table can make it less likely that you'll indulge in extra servings.

2. Allow yourself a daily treat.
   Eat mindfully and save calories in your day for foods you really enjoy, then savor them. Take a bite, chew slowly, notice the flavor and stop when you're satisfied.

3. Use a food journal to help count calories.
   Measure your food intake accurately. A food journal can help you keep track of what and why you eat and can give you insight into your behaviors.

4. Replace short car trips with walks.
   It's easy to overestimate your activity level. Use a pedometer to accurately count your steps and focus on getting up to 10,000 steps per day. Make it a personal challenge to add more walking to your daily routine.

5. Maintain active support networks.
   Successful weight management also depends upon having a support network who understands the challenges of your weight loss journey and who can help you stay motivated.
