I was traveling through Montpelier, VT and happened upon the Coffee Corner Diner for lunch. It’s the kind of place you find in little towns (ok Montpelier is the capital of VT but it’s still a small town vibe) all over New England. You don’t really expect the food to be healthy but you know it’ll taste great.

You can not lose weight in a vacuum. It can’t be done. You need a team of people to help you achieve your goals or you’ll never make it. Your nearest and dearest, be they housemates or family members are going to have to help you get there. Below are some tips to get them (and you) on board.

Most of us want to lose weight and it seems there are as many diets as there are people willing to try them. They all come down to a balance between fat, proteins and carbohydrates, the basic components of food.

The Gruve is a little device that clips onto your waist and keeps track of your movements throughout the day. You download the days activities into a computer program and it shows you how many calories you burned during the days and which times of day had the most activity.

How much do you need to exercise every day? Some new research points were just released from the Journal of the American Medical Association.
