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.

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
