30. Are you a vegan or a vegetarian?
I used to be a super strict vegetarian sometimes close to veganism for 30 years.
I did just not like that meat and stuff. I thought it's disgusting.
Then I changed and I started to like it. Now I love some good beef or chicken now and then. But I still don't like and don't eat pork.0 -
31. What are your favorite workout clothes you own?
I don't have a favorite thing... I just work out in the t-shirt or top I have on. I may change my house pants into something more fitted to not bother me during workouts.0 -
15. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
Sunday when I weighed in it said 204.6... today I was at 206... I am hoping that is just water weight and no exercise on Monday... guess I'll be reving up the exercise for the rest of the week.0 -
41. What country am I from and is It healthy?
The UK. It is easy to eat healthily here if you hang around with other healthy people and buy from the supermarkets.
42. How many meals in a day? 3 I used to snack more but ate too much
43. Current weight. 58.2kg yesterday. At goal. Happy with that. Continue the same
44. I have a husband. He too is on Mfp. Normally supportive
45. Do you have a rest day? I work shifts, 12.5 hour days o r nights. I only workout on my days off or if on nights. This normally means running. I am training for my 8th marathon. I tend to run 4 days per week.
47. Do I have a forbidden food? Sort of! I quit chocolate for a few weeks at a time. I gave it up for Lent, ate it for 2 days at Easter, then quit again till my birthday mid May, then quit again till mid July when I went on hols, then quit again till my next holiday in September. I ate it last after my ultra marathon 7 weeks ago and will next have it on the 23rd December after my next full marathon.0 -

32. Try a new fruit today. Learn how to cut/eat it and enjoy! How was it?
Well, I have eaten every fruit I have found on the market (around here the exotic range is rather little, though). The last fruit I tried was star fruit.0 -
31. What are your favorite workout clothes you own?
booah... I own so many work out and dancing clothes because I'm dancing and teaching so much (I change about three times daily into new work out/dancing clothes), so it's hard to say. But I have bunch of new t-shirts with the logo of my dance school on the chest. I really love them!
And all my black pants some are from h&m and some from venice beach or danza.
And then I LOOOOVE my hoodies. In all colors. And two also with my logo on the back. You hardly never see me without one of those ;-)0 -
38. Have you ever binged? If so, what is your binge food?
Nope. Thankfully I've never had the inclination.0 -
9. What is your favorite type of cardio?
Kayaking in summer Running in winter0 -
33. Are you on a diet or are you making this a lifestyle?
It is more of a lifestyle. I'm not restricting myself very much (while still remaining in a calorie goal) and I am trying to eat various things, in small quantities, so I will not miss something.
I can definetly see myself doing something like this all my life.0 -
32. Try a new fruit today. Learn how to cut/eat it and enjoy! How was it?
oh... today... today has only 10 more minutes here and then is tomorrow..
and I had no fruits today. not a single one. not an old and not a new one.
I had a weird day today. Almost no time for eating or shopping and a pretty empty fridge.
So I just had some protein shakes, a green smoothie and some vegetable juices.
Not unhealthy but weird....
We'll see I might go with some fruits in the weekend, but most of them are too sugary for my metabolism :-(0 -
34. Do you take your meals from home to work? If so, what do you usually prepare?
I always take snacks to work. I'm on 3 meals + 2 snacks, so it's important to have good stuff prepared.
In the days I go to university in the evening I pack lunch (sandwiches), in the other days I eat at restaurant and caffeterias around work as they have varieties of meals, and I can always find something healthy (well... a salad without dressing and grilled chicken are always at hand).
I am very proud of myself that over the 2 months I have started building very good sandwiches in terms of nutrition and weightloss.0 -
17. Do you have a special event/date you want to lose the weight for?
I am getting married in August so I want to look my best for that event... but more importantly I want to lose weight for my life not just an event in my life.0 -
33. Are you on a diet or are you making this a lifestyle?
I'm in between. I just recently learned that I have pro/ir. That's why I need to lose some 20 lbs of body fat. For this I'm kind of dieting. But in a way that is close to how I will/want/have to eat forever... For me the difference is in how much I really count or if just feel and eat healthy and observe in a bigger picture if the pants still fit ;-)0 -
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.
Yogurt, hardboiled eggs, subway sandwich... so far no microwave and the ham had sodium, but otherwise I think I am doing fairly well so far.0 -
10. Do you count calories? If so, what is your daily limit?

36. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
My current weight is 86.6 kg (191 lbs). After 2 weeks of very low loss, the 0.8 kg (almost 2 pounds) los in a week occured. I'll just go on with my current plan. I hope to get a longer period of stable 1 lbs/week loss, just before the holidays.0 -
35. Have you ever fasted? What was the reason for it?
I have done a few juice fastings in my teens, I thought they might help. And in a way they did. But I would never ever do this again, too much sugar for my body to process and too little protein...
And I did some ramadan days when I lived in Egypt and spent them with my friends. (But usually I sneaked out for some water)...0 -
