Not a documentary, but Graham Hill's TED Talk about being a weekday vegetarian did motivate me to eat less meat. My family now eats vegetarian at least a couple days a week and it's not difficult. Eggplant parm instead of chicken, for example, and nobody even notices.

Good morning! Just got home from a walk at the beach before it gets too hot. It's a beautiful day here in San Diego. How's everyone else doing?

Thank you!

Good morning everyone. Tomorrow's our first weigh-in and I'm going to remember to be accountable to you all today! Going for a hike now and will try to stick within a 6-hour eating window. What kind of weight-loss plans are you all following? CICO, keto, IF? At the moment I'm just trying to do about 18:6, two solid meals…

There is an app called Running for Weight Loss that does intervals. Not a great name but the app is fun--you can set the duration of the workout, and it will tell you to run for certain periods, then walk, then sprint, etc. Another one you might like is Zombies, Run! which tells a story and then has you run at certain…

Pringles.

Cap'n Crunch.

Yes, I ate a frozen dinner (around 300 calories) most nights and it helped me lose 20 pounds. I thought of it as kind of a poor man's Jenny Craig.

Ditto.

I'd recommend a commercial grade treadmill, with a larger motor. The kind from the regular stores are so flimsy. We use ours every day and it has been reliable for years.

Try eating your measured portion, and then drink two big glasses of water. Or drink two big glasses of water 10 minutes before you eat. I get full quickly that way.

I just make a regular dinner for the family and eat the low carb parts. So if dinner is baked chicken, rice and green beans, I'll just put chicken and green beans on my plate. I don't talk about it and honestly I don't think the kids have ever noticed.

Yep, American Vandal covered that in Season 2.

If the food is amazing, I'd eat it. For instance, I would not pass up a croissant if I went to France. To me it's part of the experience. But like others have said, don't just blow it on something that's not worth it.

I don't tell people how I eat but saying "No thanks, I'm full" works every time.

I grew up Catholic and a religious ed teacher once told us that when you tell everyone what you're giving up for Lent, you're doing it for the glory of man, not for the glory of God. A lent pet peeve of mine is someone who wants to lose 10 pounds so goes around telling everyone they gave up chocolate. Maybe I should give…
