Hand to Mouth
To keep portions in check, use your hands as weight-loss winner Lenita Smith does: The palm of your hand is about the same size as 3 oz. of meat, fish or chicken; a fist is about 1 cup of fruit; a thumb is 1 oz. of cheese.

How to Squeeze In Walking Even in Wet Weather!
At the Office
When it rains: Take the stairs. Lenita walks up 18 floors and takes the elevator down three times in a row!
When it shines: Make it a combo. She goes up and down 18 floors once, and then she heads outside for a brisk 15-minute walk.
At Home
When it rains: Break out the workout tapes and get active indoors. Lenita swears by tapes that incorporate walking, kickboxing and toning moves.
When it shines: Head outdoors. Recruit a friend and take a walk around the neighborhood. On the weekends, Lenita walks a four-mile trail near her home.
