100oz is usually as high as I go. In the summer I hit a gallon.

I have a few I like, but lately I've been eating the ThinkThin protein bars. I switch up what I eat so I don't get bored. I also love quest bars and the Cliff protein bars.

I personally like doing both. I don't mind treadmills as long as I put a towel over the display.

People are so impatient nowadays...

My mom tells us stories of her treating people with Splenda / sucralose related illnesses. She was once one of those people too. The stuff makes all of us feel bad. Aspartame makes me feel sick, gives me headaches and gives me insomnia.

My brother nearly made his adrenals fail. He was overdosing on sugar and caffeine. He used to run a lot and is skinny, but now has permanent health problems. Now he just coaches track and field, but running too much actually can aggravate his condition. So you can hurt your adrenals. It's a medical fact. He also still…

This is one thing I will never understand. Eating leftovers in general has always bugged me. I'd never be able to eat anyone else's leftovers. That just seems so gross to me. My mom does it and I have no idea how she can do that. It just makes me want to gag. If you like it I don't care, but noooooot me. Totally not my…

Of course, sometimes the scale just simply doesn't move. There are other reasons besides eating too much. We'd never plateau if it was that simple.

I fast for the mind and spirit, not the body. That is just me though. I've tried fasting for the body, but fasting is a spiritual practice for me, so I have to have a better reason than losing weight.

I've cut out cheating altogether unless it's a family birthday or holiday.

I saw a girl that became fit by not losing any weight at all. She just gained muscle. She was 183 at the beginning and 183 at the end. You could tell her fat was replaced by muscle. Her belly and stuff was gone.

I still have to try all of them, but ranch is a must.

Corn chips.

Rice with chicken, broccoli and cheese sauce. Not separately. You put chicken and broccoli in a pan and pour cheese sauce on it. You cook it in the oven for a while and then dish it out over rice. I'm saving most my calories for it.

I weigh a lot because it helps me know what I'm doing right and wrong. You can learn a lot from the scale, not just weight.

I like the ThinkThin bars, KIND bars, and cliff bars. There are others, but they don't come to mind at the moment. Quest bars are okay, but not my favorite. I like the banana nut one.

Someone needs to send the health inspectors. That is seriously weird.

Sitting in the car waiting to go to a movie.

My friends are body builders. I think those are the only kind of people that don't have to worry about gaining weight. Cafe Rio is another one I have to be careful with. I think they are healthy, you just have to be careful.

Add me! I think I do pretty good. I do eat out sometimes, but not a lot.

I get off track sometimes, but I've been great lately! On a 52 day streak so far as logging in goes.

I love my Fitbit charge! I got mine for Christmas a year ago though. I really want a Blaze. Tracking is fun for me.

There is no one size fits all. What works for some people might not work for you.

That is normal. Don't get down.

Stick to 4 months. If you go too fast it won't stick. 4 months for 20 pounds is actually reasonable but you will need discipline. That is a little over a pound to lose every week. But really, I'd drop the time frame, being in a hurry doesn't do anything good.

Really glad I asked this because it turned out really funny. I had no clue doing this makes or would make people feel sick! Oh, just for the record, i usually wait an hour or two after I eat before I work out.

Especially after the gym.

Anything made by hostess. Little Debbie I am also wary of. Margarine is a HUGE no no for me and no artificial sweeteners or soda.
