    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.

    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 :-(

    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.

    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.

    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 ;-)

    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.

    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.

    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)...

    19. Are you losing weight the healthy (<2lbs/week) or the unhealthy (>2lbs/week) way?
    I am losing the healthy way... there have been some weeks where I lost more than 2 pounds and others where its much less.

    20. Who is your biggest weight loss inspiration and why?
    I have a friend who has lost 150 pounds and kept it off for more than 10 years... her dedication and lifestyle changes have been a huge inspiration to me.

    Right now I am just focusing on losing pounds, but I would rather be lean and mean than tiny and fragile.

    38. Have you ever binged? If so, what is your binge food?
    I did binged before starting here on MFP. There were nights in which I ate more than I needed in a day just of pure boredom. Never had an actually binge food... just what I had at hand. I simply did not know where to stop.

    15. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
    I didn't lose any weight this last week but that's because I spent most of the weekend driving all over the state of Iowa and made horrible fast food eating choices most of the weekend...
