    19. Are you losing weight the healthy (<2lbs/week) or the unhealthy (>2lbs/week) way?
    It's fluctuating. But over all it's around 1kg per week. And I'm more concerned about being healthy and energetic than weight loss.

    74. Today you won’t count calories. You won’t look at food labels. You will try to eat intuitively. What does that mean? Eat when
    you’re hungry, don’t look at the clock! Eat whatever your body desires! Just make sure it’s healthy. If you crave anything sweet, eat it! But a healthy amount. And remember, today you must forget all about calories!

    I'll do so with dinner.

    18. Try to use as little salt as possible today or maybe even none! Don’t buy microwave meals and don’t eat foods high in sodium.
    This one was easy to follow.
    I mostly forget to put salt in food. :lol: And I'm not keen in microwaved stuff.

    #2. Describe your dream / goal body.

    I haven't thought about this too much...so good question! I'd definitely like to be more toned over all. Mostly I just want a flatter stomach. I'm proud of my big booty! haha so I don't want any changes there, haha.

    I would like to be more lean in general and have a flat stomach and defined arms.

    20. Who is your biggest weight loss inspiration and why?
    Don't know... never thought about this.
    Maybe all my mfp friends who really lost a lot...
    Or one of my friends, who was really really overweight and is just going down on a slow but steady path. And she's still enjoying her life and food...

    75. Do you have a trigger food? A type of food that is impossible for you to say no to or stop eating?
    Dessert's, if they are in the house I have I have something! It's like appitizer's at a raustrant.

    I am aiminmg for 1 lbs/week (0.5 kg). Not rushing. My body goes better with smaller steps. Smaller and constant.

    Question 34. Do you normally take food to work?

    Yes! I work 12.5 hour days. I eat breakfast before I go (a small oj, natural yogurt, ground flax seeds and berries).
    At work I often have a healthy soup with oatcakes or ryvitas, sometimes maltloaf or more yogurt and berries, fruit etc. then my evening meal is something like risotto, tortellini, chilli. Anything vege and healthy.

    My work does provide our meals but it is rarely healthy and most staff claim they have put on a stone or two since joining so i have always avoided it.

    This looks kind fun ^_^ I'll do 2 questions since #1 is kinda boring

    1) 5'7' CW- 170 GW-150

    Losing weight to look good =D Build up some confidence!! oh and I guess that healthy thing too that everyone is so into :laugh:

    2) I would love to have firm tight thighs. I want muscular and shapely gams. Legs have always been my aesthetic weakness and I try to make all my weaknesses into strengths!! I want to be able to wear short shorts and skirts and look great in em =D Also want a nice round/firm booty! and with those bee stings on my lower back!! That'd be awesome -would love that. A muscular tummy. not necessary a 6 pack but some definition would please me. I def want a more refined hour glass shape, so I want a cinched in waist.

    21. Do you focus more on getting lean and mean or tiny and fragile?

    Lean and mean. I'm not so the tiny and fragile type of woman. And I need to much muscles for being a dancer. Actually I mostly focus losing the 8kg extra fat, so my muscles get more visible.

    20. Who is your biggest weight loss inspiration and why?

    I would not say that I have an inspiration like a person I admire and want to look like or lose like.
    My inspiration is my family, because they always wanted me to be happy, healthy and lose weight.

    21. Do you focus more on getting lean and mean or tiny and fragile?

    Well, I'm not keen on getting strong and muscular. My goal is to be a normal weight, a little toned... I would like to be that tiny and fragile kind of girl... but it wouldn't go with my body frame... So I'll take normal.

    67kg, it's the same I had before my break (and it's 1 day before Tom). So, I'm back after 3 days of really logging and checking what I eat, after 3 and 1/2 weeks of not taking so much care. I did not binge, but I wasn't so tough on sugar and carbs with myself in my holidays.

    I will just go on next week! And I'm looking forward to it!

    Still 67.6 kg. I haven't loss anything this week. I plan on keep going with the same program. I have had 2 of these king of weeks in the last 3 months, but the week after I would lose more. I guess my body needs a break.

    6. What is your favorite unhealthy food?

    My favorite unhealthy food would definitely be Mexican food... and of course when we go out to eat Mexican the margaritas that go with it.. I have found though the low fat enchiladas I make at home work as a good substitution.

    24. Have you ever had an eating disorder?

    Not really. Or not the big ones... But I didn't have a relaxed and natural approach to eating neither since I'm 10 or 11. And I tend to emotional eating and bingeing.

    I don't actually measure it to often, but I drink more than 2 liters. Most day I will drink 7-8 cups of water only at work. I don't force myself. I just feel thirsty quite often.

    79. What was the most recent compliment/comment about your body?
    The doctor's at work have noticed and complimented me about it, but nothing stands out. Mainly co-workers are encouraging me to stop, to not become "skinny minnie".
