(Im thinking something like Hawaii!!)

2. how long have you been losing weight? I'll take "my whole life" for 200, Alex

3. what eating plan, if any, are you following? I don't eat beef. I try so hard to avoid over-proccessed foods, I don't eat "snack foods" really at all, I don't drink pop, I don't eat fried food, and I try to avoid white bread/pasta/rice, but I'm *not* trying to "low-carb" in any sense of the word.

5. what kind of exercise do you do? Dancing, walking, biking, tae-bo

6. how often during a week do you exercise? between 4-7

7. do you reward yourself with anything after meet a weight loss goal? what kind of reward? I haven't really accomplished anything yet. I just got on the boat Tuesday, so, we'll see in 10-20lbs or so.

3. what eating plan, if any, are you following? none, i don't believe in them as it won't be something I can do for life.

4. if you aren't following a specific plan, what are you doing eating wise to lose weight? under 1800 calories per day, under 50 grams of fat and reduced carbs. All of these calories and fat are coming from healthy things though. I stay away from fried fatty foods. I drink 3-4 liters of water per day.

Day 2- 30 mins. of Cardio, lower body weights Day 3 - 30 Mins Cardio, upper body weights Day 4 - 45 Mins. Cardio or Aerobics class. On all days, I also do abs and stretching.

7. do you reward yourself with anything after meet a weight loss goal? what kind of reward? Um, I haven't fully decided but once I get to my final goal weight, there will be a huge shopping spree involved :smug:
