We have 52 digestible fitness tips that we'll send your way each week for you to institute into your lifestyle changes for 2006.

Week One: Make small changes: Kick the habit of buttering your bread or bagel, switch from regular soda to diet soda.

Week Two: Eat breakfast. Skipping this meal can cause your metabolism to slow down.

Week Three: Keep a journal of your accomplishments; this can include everything from going with out mayonnaise to walking up stairs in stead of using an elevator. Don't be afraid to monitor your progress and keep yourself motivated!

Week Four: Exchange your morning muffin for a plain bagel. A medium size bagel has only about 200 calories- a muffin can contain as many as 600!

Week Five: Add a piece of fruit and some vegetables to your daily diet. This will help you avoid fatty snack.

Week Six: Cut down on fat gradually to adjust to the change. Studies show that people can reduce fat intake from 39 percent to 21 percent of their total calories without feeling deprived.

Week Seven: "Say no to seconds."

Week Eight: Walk! It is one of the best ways to burn fat and the one exercise most people are willing to stick with.

Week Nine: Don't think diet. The "D" word sets you up for feeling deprived. Instead think of the changes you make as a new way of eating.

Week Ten: Reach for a carbohydrate snack like an apple instead of a high fat one. Calories from high fat foods do not create a feeling of fullness the way calories from carbohydrates do.

Week Eleven: If stress makes you munch, try deep breathing instead. Inhale through your nose, hold and release; do this at least 5 times.

Week Twelve: Don't drink diet soda to quell a craving. Small amounts of solid food are far more satisfying than liquids.

Week Thirteen: Switch from 2 percent milk to 1 percent mild, then to skim. If you drink a cup a day, you'll save 35 grams of fat a week.

Week Fourteen: Fit in three 10 minute mini-workouts-a quick set of morning exercise, a brisk midday walk and 10 minutes in front of an exercise video at night-if you're unable to set aside a larger block of time.

Week Fifteen: When you have an urge for chips or crackers, crunch instead on cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, carrots, celery, baked tortilla chips, saltines, matzos or non-fat crackers.

Week Sixteen: Talk about your weight-loss goals with someone you trust, such as your partner or a good friend. Making commitments out loud to another person can help you keep them.

Week Seventeen: Choose a mixed green salad rather than a chef or Caesar salad.

Week Eighteen: Switch to a low-or-nonfat salad dressing or try an herb-flavored vinegar with just a touch of oil. If you use 2 teaspoons of dressing a day, you can cut out 100 grams of fat a week.

Week Nineteen: Start your meal with a non-cream-based soup. According to a major university study, eating tomato soup significantly reduced the amount of food eaten during the rest of the meal.

Week Twenty: Burn calories while being sociable. Instead of going out to eat with friends, go roller-blading or ice-skating, or stroll through a museum.

Week Twenty-one: Cut out dabs and dollops of cream cheese, mayonnaise and whipped cream. One ounce of cream cheese contains 10 grams of fat: one tablespoon of mayonnaise, 11 grams.

Week Twenty-two: Increase your activity level. If you're desk-bound at work, take a two-minute walk every half hour. Instead of watching television after dinner, play a few games of table tennis, go bowling, or out walking.

Week Twenty-three: Limit snacking options at home. "If you're prone to snack and you stock lots of types of foods, you may eat a little of this and little of that all night. But if you only have one type of snack, such as apples or air-popped popcorn, you're less likely to keep going back for more."

Week Twenty-four: Cut back on after-dinner eating by setting a specific time for a light snack. You'll feel more in control.

Week Twenty-five: Find hobbies to keep you active such as gardening or appointing yourself official dog-walker.

Week Twenty-six: Cut back on after-dinner eating by setting a specific time for a light snack. You'll feel more in control.
