Adiogo Strawberry! Drink that stuff by the truckloads and it has helped me kick the pop habit. I add a bit of Truvia and dried spearmint from the garden.

Two things: First! WOW! What a difference before and after! Second?...and actually what stood out more to me than the incredible focus, diligence, and accomplishment of the weight loss itself: When is the book coming?!?! You write, express your journey SO well! I love the highlight points (happy before? happy now - just in…

Hi Matt. Right there with you buddy. Goal: 30 pounds before March 1 (my birthday). 5 down? 25 to go! Doable right? Remember life in general is rarely a linear journey. Ups and downs. No different here. What's more important is your focus, determination, and the goal..and if millions have done it before you? You can too.…

I think there's a mountain of research out there to also show the benefits - particularly in toning - of doing body weight only exercises. No gym, no equipment, no excuses! Time friendly too. Tons of resources online and in apps. Do what you can with intensity? You'll get results.

I think you need to examine your last statement in detail because to me, it's telling. Why do you fear being at your best? Once you figure that out it will be a motivator to achieve, not avoid. But also don't get stuck there if you can't get immediate answers. Like Nike says? Just Do It!

First, don't beat yourself up. For most of us LIFE has it's ups and downs! So your habits and routine aren't immune to this. Blame entropy too.

Couldn't agree more. I'm a guy and my SO recently rolled her eyes when I told her I lost 5 pounds on my goal to lose 30 before my birthday (March 1st). Her response both hurt and annoyed but isn't going to detract me from my focus. Keep your eye on the prize!

Might have to throw a curveball in here. I think LNSing isn't necessarily a bad thing. Particularly if like me you work out late and your body might be saying, "Hey! Recovery fuel please!" "The important thing is in what you snack on. Nutritionists say keep it low fat, under 300 calories, and at least an hour before…

Probably the time while walking through the state fair here, saw a former coworker at a distance, who motioned to her stomach and said, "What happened?!?" That hurt, but you know what? She was right!!! What DID happen?!?! Rhetorical question. I KNOW what happened. I got lazy! Poor choices, etc. etc. Weeks later I'd had…

Your response depends on your family, their collective and individual dispositions. Your temperment and how you deal with folks too - maybe even the day of the week! One part of me thinks you should say, "Better to blow away than ROLL away!"
