If you’re like millions of Americans, you will be starting a diet this new year. I remember when I was first starting, I didn’t know which way to turn. Weight Watchers? South Beach? Juicing? Low Carb? Low Cal? Jenny Craig? Atkins? There are SO MANY plans to chose from. For me, I wanted something to work and that wouldn’t break the bank.

I played this back and forth game and it caused me to gain back 10 lbs! Now, I am realizing (especially with a wedding coming up) I need to stick with it. I want to be happy with how I look and feel! Getting back into the habit of being healthy is a big deal. I thought it would be nice to share with you my TOP 5 tips…
