Hi Haylee! Hope you're having a great start to the new week! That's so cool you got your friends to join you and your boyfriend at the gym. Look at you motivating your friends in fitness! Yay!!! Hope you've recovered fromt he other day!

Hey there, Carley! How are things going for you? Any long runs lately?

Hey Zach! Hope you're having a better week this week and feeling great!

Looks like you're doing great, Nathaniel! Hope you enjoy that Vega! Which one are you using? I love it!

Hey Patrik! Congratulations on nearly reaching your goal! That's fantastic!!!

Nice! How was your date?

Agave and NY on popcorn? I've heard of NY many times on popcorn many times, but never agave nectar, and NEVER both at the same time. Hmm... I never would've thought of that. It's good? Congratulations on the weight loss!

Sounds like you're a busy lady leading a busy life! Good luck juggling all those balls... I mean, kids. Can you still have fruit? That should help with the sugar cravings, right?

I'm curious as to whether or not you heat up the zucchini noodles. I know the idea of "raw" is not to cook it, but do you heat it up at all?

Hey Jessica, I know you're very frustrated - I can hear it in the tone of your "voice" - but, try to stay encouraged. The longer you stay down, the harder it will be to get back up, but it sounds like you made good choices today! Yay! It's like the scripture you quoted in your signature: you need to "beat your body and make it a slave" and know that it will respond in time. Keep at it, girl! We all slip backwards sometimes, so just allow yourself to keep moving forward from wherever you are standing today!

Wow, sounds like they're really accomodating of you there! That tofu scramble sounds amazingly delish!

Dang, that's a lot! How much time did all that take out? Way to go, Colin!

Hey Maria! Thanks so much for the positive thoughts! My mom is doing well now. Yes, Robert and I are here in Vegas (since yesterday afternoon), and we'll be here till Wednesday afternoon. Maybe we could do a meetup or something? We'll see if it works out, depending on your schedule and ours. Keep in touch! You can also email us at [email protected] Thanks again! Karen
