Joy Bauer's photo: Today’s 10,000 Pound Challenge Tip: Get moving! Commit to walking 30 minutes every day.

Daily exercise helps you burn calories and shed pounds faster. It also keeps you in the right mindset to stick with your plan, since you won’t want to undo your hard work by eating the wrong foods. Walking is a total feel-good…and my preferred form of aerobic exercise because it’s low-impact (easy on your joints), doesn’t require any special equipment (just a comfortable pair of sneakers), and can be done almost anywhere. If you can’t commit to 30 straight minutes of walking, break it up into three ten-minute spurts and space them throughout the day. You’ll still get the same health and calorie-burning perks. If you prefer, you can swap out the walking for 30 minutes of any cardio activity, such as biking, jogging, using an exercise machine, or completing a half-hour fitness DVD.

$Hoda says she craves creamy mashed potatoes, so I concocted a "skinnier" version of this comfort food classic. I combine white potatoes with steamed cauliflower to drive down the calories and carbs while maintaining a light, fluffy texture. These mashers have just 145 cals & 2 grams fat per cup--that's less than half the calories (and a fraction of the fat) of buttery, traditional versions. Here's my recipe: Slim-Style Mashed Potatoes Makes 12 cups. 5 Russet potatoes (skin on), cut into chunks 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets 3/4 cup milk (skim, soy or almond) 1/4 cup whipped butter 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper Optional toppings: parmesan cheese, light sour cream, chives, hot sauce, sliced jalapenos 1. Add the potatoes chunks to a large pot of boiling water and boil for 12-15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. 2. While the potatoes are cooking, microwave the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons water on high power for 10 minutes. Drain the cauliflower and add to the bowl with the potatoes. 3. Add the milk, butter, salt and pepper, and mix with a handheld electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add additional preferred herbs and seasonings, and serve with optional toppings.
