When my friend Liz commented on the effect of food on one's weight, I thought to myself that she really had no clue... I wondered, how about all the big boned people who were predisposed to being overweight? Newsflash: although I'm still overweight, I've seen some improvement in my waist size since I started monitoring my food intake. See, in January my cousin introduced me to the 411fitt website. On the 411 website, I am able to track my calorie intake while entering my physical activity for the day. Guess what. I have lost 4 inches on my waist and I didn't even have to try hard. I just had to increase my physical activity and watch the amount of calories I ate daily. For physical activity, I didn't have to use any fancy equipment. I mostly walked or danced. I used the Leslie Sansone walk at home DVDs, walked the neighborhood or danced to some Zumba or good old hip-hop. See, I did not have to spend a fortune on food, equipment or the like. So for all of you out there, trying to lose a few, check out www.411fit.com
