  • Oh man. For TV characters there are a bunch. Xena, Buffy, Kira Nerys...I love strong women. And Donna Noble - strong in a different way, likeable and annoying and relatable. Dana Scully for being smart and skeptical.

    For real people, I guess I think Marie Curie was pretty badass. Physicist, chemist, female scientist in a time when women were pretty much never taken seriously. Her research into radioactivity revolutionized so much of science and medicine and she did it in the face of soooo much misogyny and xenophobia. She seems like such an interesting woman.

  • Track your calories, macros, and any micronutrients that you're concerned about (e.g., sodium, fiber). Set a goal and stick to it. I use the LoseIt app and a digital kitchen scale.

    Drink a lot of water. Half your body weight (in lbs) in ounces. So if you weigh 130 lbs, drink 130 ÷ 2 = 65 oz of water daily. This is your baseline; add more for exercise. Don't go overboard because too much water is bad for you.

    Aim for 45-60 minutes of vigorous exercise 3-4 times a week. I like weightlifting for this. On the other days, be active, but don't push yourself too much. You need rest for recovery.

    After your workouts, don't eat back all your calories, but do consider having something protein-heavy.

    Sleep. I can't emphasize enough how important sleep is. Try to get 7-8 hours every night. This is the hardest one for me personally; I don't have a ton of advice. But developing a bedtime routine helps.

    Weigh yourself every day first thing in the morning, after you've used the bathroom and before you've had anything to eat or drink, with no clothes on. I like my Withings scale because the app tracks my measurements over time.

    Have a mindset of lifestyle change - otherwise, if you go back to old habits, you're likely to gain back any weight you lose.

    Good luck!
