done. ;-)

24. Have you ever had an eating disorder? Not really. Or not the big ones... But I didn't have a relaxed and natural approach to eating neither since I'm 10 or 11. And I tend to emotional eating and bingeing.

I did it the first time yesterday. And I loooooved it. I don't know if I can fit it in every day as I am teaching (dance) for up to5hrs on some days. But I would love to try! Can I still join?!?

23. How much water do you usually drink in a day? I drink around 3 liters sometimes wven 4 or 5, depending on how much a teach/dance/train. I drink mainly warm or hot water.

Thank you! I'm a now and then coconut oil lover and user. You motivated me to use it more. My skin and hair really loves it. But I don't use a lot if fat for cooking and if, mostly olive oil. But I will try the tea/coffee thing and others... Thank you! And coconutlovers please add me if you like to keep me motivated in…

22. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week? 67kg, it's the same I had before my break (and it's 1 day before Tom). So, I'm back after 3 days of really logging and checking what I eat, after 3 and 1/2 weeks of not taking so much care. I did not binge,…

I do Lindy Hop for an hour or two (or three or four...) and then I eat with my friends ;-)

Thanks for sharing. I'm IR and though I'm not happy about it, I'm happy I learned about it. Now I can understand what happens with me, omit sugars and fast carbs and omit spikes and lows that made me feel like drunk or shaky... I also start to lose weight! And the sugar cravings disappeared. I'm relatively new on mfp and…

21. Do you focus more on getting lean and mean or tiny and fragile? Lean and mean. I'm not so the tiny and fragile type of woman. And I need to much muscles for being a dancer. Actually I mostly focus losing the 8kg extra fat, so my muscles get more visible.

I prefer Kettlebell swings. And they help a lot!

I love my veggies omelettes. It's usually a bit of olive oil, sometimes some onion, zucchini and/or peppers and/or tomatoes and/or broccoli etc in a pan and stir it with some dried herbs or just salt and pepper. Then I beat up 2 eggs with some salt and pepper and mix in the veggies and maybe some (feta) cheese. Bring it…

20. Who is your biggest weight loss inspiration and why? Don't know... never thought about this. Maybe all my mfp friends who really lost a lot... Or one of my friends, who was really really overweight and is just going down on a slow but steady path. And she's still enjoying her life and food...

oh yes... sometimes I do have a dirty mind... ;-)

Maybe it says more about your friend than about you... ;-)

19. Are you losing weight the healthy (<2lbs/week) or the unhealthy (>2lbs/week) way? It's fluctuating. But over all it's around 1kg per week. And I'm more concerned about being healthy and energetic than weight loss.

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. again... too late... I had some salted nuts, because this was the only thing I could buy/eat at the airport that was kind of low carb/sugar. And I need some salt to keep my blood pressure from…

Hey! I´m 5´3" and my goal is to be somewhere around 130, so I have about 20 pounds to go!

Hi there! I'm back from traveling (12 days +1lbs) and looking forward to bring those pounds down. It's nice to be a member of a group of similar minded and vertically shaped women. Thank you! I'm 5'3'' (160 cm) and weigh 67 kg (147 lbs?) at the moment. And I'm used to the metric measurements as you can see, as I'm living…

17. Do you have a special event/date you want to lose the weight for? No. And I realized that my body has it's own tempo of losing weight. All I can do is being aware of what I eat and exercise.

Hey ;-) I'm 5'3'' and I'm in. But now I'm away! See you in 2 weeks!

16. Which part of your body do you wish to change the most and why? my upper thighs, where they go into the hips and butt. Because there's still too much fat and I can't see the muscles underneath. And I would wish to have bigger boobs. But that's just as it is... So, and now I will take a break from this challenge,…

15. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week? 66.5 kg I gained a pound and lost 2 this week. I think that's kind of ok! I will just go on... but it will be different for the next 3 weeks as I will be traveling. Let's see how it works. But I decided I want…

I can somehow relate to what you write... I know those days... For me it's usually too little sleep ( = lack of energy I should get from resting) or wrong food or missing supplements (lack of energy I should get from nutrients) and my body is looking for this energy and craving for more food. Or then it is my PCOS/IR…

14. What is your least favorite type of strength exercise? I don't know. I just don't do them - I guess. used to go to the gym on a regular basis and I loved it.

Has anyone an idea how to do this without a Microwave? Fry in a pan? Oven? Steamer?! Thanks!

That answered the question I would ask you... Was this the only meal in the day... ? Or what is going to be your dinner? I'm missing veggies for making me feel healthy when I look at it... And I can HIGHLY recommend breakfast. I never ate it for years. And always tried to lose weight - it never worked. Until I started…

I can recommend Kettlebell Swings. They are great for the butt, bat also for ham strings and core and shoulders/arms... Just great and pretty easy and fast done at home.

13. What is your favorite type of strength exercise? at moment it's kettlebell swings. two armed and one armed. And two special kinds of crunches. One is in different angles crosslateral and comes from Bartenieff Fundamentals and the other has a complicated name (I can't remember it) but you lie on a cushion or something…

Yes the last ones are the hardest.. sometimes it's because we think we need to lose them, but our bodies feel well with them, and sometimes it's just because there is not so much between the tdee/bmr and the deficit... But just go on... move.. do exercises or dancing or walking in the sun or rain.. this helps your muscles…
