I love sparkling waters and tea! I drink my tea either plain or I add lemon, cinnamon, and occasionally honey.

I usually drink about 2 to 2.5 liters a day, or 9-11 cups.

Do you eat eggs? I find that they are great for loading up on protein but not carbs!

That's gonna be an awkward secret to keep...

Congrats! That is wonderful progress!

I looked at the site, and it seems very stressful, to be honest! Under their FAQ's they actually say that if you're sick, they may ask for your doctor or employer's information to verify! YIKES! Very, very invasive... I'd much rather hold myself accountable to working out and not have my business aired out like that to a…

How creepy! You should report her to the gym's management, and also next time you catch her doing this, STARE HER DOWN with intense, evil eyes while shaking your head no. I'm sure she'll get it.

I would: - give 3 million to my parents and 3 million to my sister - have the wedding of my dreams - donate 3 million to charity - buy a farm on Kauai, an apartment in London, and a modest home in Austin - start my own business - travel to at least 3 countries a year

I used MFP a couple of years ago and lost 35 pounds! At that time, I was also working for a fitness company, which greatly helped since I was very active at work and outside of work. Fast forward to 6 months ago, when I changed jobs and went from being very active at work to completely sedentary. I went to the doctor…

I don't find that the shakes are healthy. I actually think all of the Special K stuff is garbage disguised as "health food". If you're looking for something to grab and go, I'd suggest an organic meal replacement bar like Pro Bar, a piece of fruit with some almond butter or peanut butter, or if you must have a pre-made…

I have to get up around 5:50am to get ready for work every week day, so I usually take a bar with me since it's easy and somewhat nutritious. My favorites are the Pro Bar meal replacement bars, Double Chocolate and Peanut Butter are my 2 favorites. On weekends I typically make a breakfast smoothie with fruit, almond milk,…

My inspiration is how great I felt at 130-135 lbs! I felt so full of life and had so much energy. I want to get back there.

Forgot to mention that I'm currently 160, 5'4, and ideally want to be 120.

I take a great multivitamin, Murad Pure Skin clarifying dietary supplement. It's really helped my skin, and is a great overall multivitamin.
-
I rarely get sick, and I also rarely ever worry about getting sick. Yet, my friends who are always focused on NOT getting sick are the ones that seem to get sick more often! I don't know if that's a coincidence, but I have friends who are always washing their hands, using Purell, etc, and they are also always the first…

I think this is a very smart solution!
-
Does anyone actually put a lot of stock into what these "lists" say is healthy...?
-
Good luck! You can do this!
-
I usually bring in a bottle of water and some dried seaweed. The seaweed is salty, making it a good substitute for popcorn!

You are only setting yourself up for disappointment to expect to drop (multiple?) sizes over a 3-week period. It isn't realistic, and you may be able to do it, but weight loss that fast is usually not sustainable and most people will gain it all back, and then some. I think you should totally work towards a weight loss…

Yes, I wasn't denying that these things aren't sugar? I was just saying I prefer sugars in their natural state. That's why I even limit agave, because it's highly processed as well. There are nutrients in maple syrup and honey. Honey is antibacterial as well, and honey that is even thousands of years old is still edible.…

I try to eat as clean, lean and green as possible! I think if you can do it 80% of the time, that is really great! That's what I'm aiming for. Then that leaves some room for the occasional "treat" for yourself that doesn't exactly fall into the clean eating category. :wink: My suggestion is to be open to shopping at more…

I actually used to be addicted to sugar, but I weaned myself off of it, and now I really don't crave it as much! But when I need something sweet in my beverage (coffee or tea), I go for the following: - maple syrup - honey - agave (rarely - I'm much more inclined to go for the maple syrup or honey) I recently bought some…

That's wonderful! What a cool surprise.

I'd say listen to your body! Do you feel like you could do weight training today? I don't listen to the "rules". I do the workouts my body wants, when I want to. I think keeping your body guessing as to what's coming next is important. I say, go for it if you feel like it!
-
This, exactly! You have to want this... It'll never work if you don't.

Depends on the airline, and what kind of meal you order. I always find that the vegetarian meals I specially reserve prior to my flights are a lot healthier-looking than some of the meat meals.

My parents are absolutely addicted to HGTV...

I think juicing is perfectly healthy as long as you're having juicing in addition all your meals, and aren't replacing meals with juice. Because as some others have said, fiber is really important. So as long as you're getting fiber in all your meals, juicing is a great way to squeeze in more nutrition. I swear by fresh…

Motivation has to come from within. Sometimes, it takes a breaking point. That's what happened for me. I reached a point where I said "I'VE HAD ENOUGH! I'm tired of not feeling happy about my size. I'm tired of food controlling me. I'm ready for change and I'll do whatever it takes!". No amount of external motivation can…
