With so many people trying to lose weight, counting calories seems to be on everybody's mind. Some people keep
food journals or
measure out their portions to monitor their calorie intake. Others follow a
dietitian's strict food plan, and some people just guesstimate the amount of calories they eat in daily.

From
Starbucks's Perfect Oatmeal to an
easy way to prepare oatmeal at your desk, we have been talking about breakfast a lot recently. But I know oatmeal is not all you eat for breakfast; in fact, I'm sure some of you don't even like oatmeal. So speak up and tell us what you eat for breakfast.

I started wearing glasses when I was in fourth grade and later switched to

When you decide you need to lose weight, it can be a daunting task so it's best to have a weight-loss goal in mind before you begin. I'm talking about a specific goal, as in a number of pounds you're trying to lose. You can come up with this number on your own or with the help of your doctor or
dietitian.

I am a big fan of
biking to work. Commuting via bike can seem perilous on busy city streets, but new research show that
the more people ride bicycles on city streets, the less likely they are to be injured in traffic accidents. It seems that motorist drive more safely in the presence of cyclists and pedestrians as well.
