Simplifying Change

This website's name, simplify change one step at a time comes from my older brother Mark--who accredited his 50 lb weight loss to doing one little step at a time. Or in his words, "start with something you can do". He'd do one little step at a time: Parking farther away, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, cutting out mid-afternoon snacks, etc. Each week he'd add an additional step, which would be worked into his habit, and over the course of 8 or 9 months, he dropped about 50 lbs. I may be off on the timeline here, but you get the idea.

No one would tell it better than Mark here, so I've invited him to be an author on this blog as well--not only to outline what he's been able to do, but we welcome any other posts of his regarding any other changes or progress he is going through!
