1. Add 10 minutes in the morning
While you may be religious about going to the gym after work, waking up 10 minutes earlier in the morning and taking a walk around the block (or, alternatively, simply dancing to your morning radio show for 10 minutes) will let you start off your day with a faster-burning metabolism and, most likely, head off to work in a better mood than usual.

I love to jump rope and agree it's a wonderful way to burn calories...but at work? On a coffee break? If you truly jump the way you should for 10 minutes, you will need a shower after each 10 minute "break"!!
It might also be tricky to find a corner in your office and jump rope in your office attire without attracting some strange looks, LOL. But if it works, hey why not?
@Cheergirl1263 - that sounds dangerous. Slow and steady is the rule. If you go at it slowly you'll have a better chance of succeeding, and also have a better chance of keeping the weight off. Don't crash diet! Very bad for you.
