    I don't know if I have just one. If I am craving salt I usually would love to eat pizza while if I am craving sweet, I would eat grocery store bureau cake all day

    I don't. I've tried hydroxycut Andalusia but it is too hard to remember to take them enough time before eating

    Do you live near family for support?
    I have no family where I am but for the family I made. I came here for school and never left.
    (My family is all about 15 hours away in the Midwest)


    What's your favorite vacation destination?
    We go to Disneyworld on a whim (despite the 14 hour drive) fairly frequently and I like it just because of how much my kids like it.

    Coffee drinker? No caffeine at all? Or other sources of caffeine?
    I can't stand even the slightest taste of coffee. I drink a bit of diet Pepsi here and there and an occasional 5 hour energy for motivation, but not a lot of caffeine for me

    I have a sweet tooth so if I'm going to splurge I'll make a cake or cookies.

    I don't use any supplements.

    My parents live nearly 300 miles away, which is a long way in England, and obviously too far for day to day support. My brother and sister live near my parents, although my sister spent 4 years living in China. She came home in 2012 when our mum was diagnosed with leukaemia (luckily in remission now). My husband's family are all local though. Not that we get any help! Although my MIL is apparently going to have our baby one day a week when I'm at work. We'll see how that works as she's not the most reliable.

    I love the south of France for holidays. We went to Cuba for our honeymoon which was amazing.

    I love coffee and drink loads of it. I just have it with a bit of milk so it doesn't have many calories. I do like skinny cappuccino when I'm out, or frapuccinos. We've got a coffee shop chain called Costa which does good coffee, and one called Caffè Nero. Starbucks is crap.

    My favorite splurge food is peanut butter and chocolate in any form. One is never enough so it's dangerous right now to have it in my house or anywhere near me. I can eat non chocolate treats in moderation.

    I am considering trying supplements. I just do not trust anything that's a quick fix.

    I'm in Arizona. I have a sister here who is fabulous in an emergency but not a day to day support. The rest of my family are in the Midwest and my husband's family even further away. We have finally found a couple really good babysitters and that has made a huge difference for us. We actually went on a date night 2 weeks ago. :-)

    I'd like to go to the south of France. My favorite vacation was my honeymoon in Australia. For the most part vacations are spent seeing family. I have a list of places I'd like to visit.

    I love coffee and coffee drinks. An iced mocha was my weakness yesterday. :-). I never drank coffee until law school and now I have it every day.

    All food. I just love food. Foooooood.

    No supplements.

    I live near my ILs, but no.

    Vacation is anywhere that isn't my house. A hotel in the same town would be awesome too. It's just nice to change it up.

    I drink a lot of soda for my caffeine. I need at least a can a day to keep migraines away.

    My favorite splurge food is lasagna, I can eat it all day every day and not feel sorry about a single bite of it

    Do you use weight loss supplements?(like hydroxycut,etc...)
    Nope

    Do you live near family for support?
    Yes we live near family for support, thank goodness because I don't think I could do it otherwise

    What's your favorite vacation destination?
    My fav vacation destination is New York City, I love all of the shops, people, and getting to ride the subway

    Coffee drinker? No caffeine at all? Or other sources of caffeine?
    Not a coffee drinker at all (people keep telling me that I'll be singing a different tune soon) but I do love tea :)

    No, I couldn't ever remember to take them

    Do you live near family for support?

    I do, but there is no support. No friends either. Every friend seemed to back away when the baby was born, and my family is a " Eat eat eat"kinda family.

    Haha, I live in New York City (work in Manhattan and lived there, now live in Brooklyn), and the subway gets so annoying :)

    Anyway...

    Favorite splurge food is chocolate!

    No supplements

    Family is an hour away

    Vacation destination is anywhere out of the NYC metropolis!

    I love coffee and have a Grande Blonde from Starbucks on my way to work every morning!
