Weeks 1 to 12
Guidelines:
Tracking your food and exercise can be more helpful than you think. Most people can't remember what they had for breakfast. Track as much as possible so you can see the foods that are assisting in your weight loss and vice versa.

Guidelines:
If you haven't started putting exercise in your weight loss routine, start walking 2-3 times a week for about 30 minutes. Remember to keep your body guessing and progressively increase number of days and time length throughout this challenge. Even if you walk slowly.. some movement is better than none.
