* Link physical activity with social times by joining a class or meeting a friend.

* Plan to make good food choices all week and splurge a little on the weekends.

* Choose high fiber cereal, snack bars and yogurt.

* Don't surround yourself with tempting snacks at home or work.

* Make sure your plate is colorful at every meal.

* Pick healthy lunches for children.

* "Close" the kitchen after dinner.

* Plan for at least 7 hours of sleep or rest each night.
