00:06:56 - El Bee - For losing weight, I don’t understand your advice to not reduce calories when I am unable to be moderately active. Can you please explain this?

00:17:17 - Beth Ann - Can I count water in tea and coffee as part of my daily water intake?

00:21:25 - Kari - There are so many conflicting theories about weight loss. (I have a few comments about this even though it’s not a question😊.)

00:24:20 - Lisa - Fitbit is a liar!! (I’m weighing in on this non-question too!)

00:30:10 - Cathy - Can you share some examples of what it looks like to quantify a goal?

00:34:36 - Jody - Would you count flavored, carbonated water toward your daily water intake?

00:37:14 - Cheryll - I have to lose about 50 pounds. What advice can you give me to curb nighttime eating?

00:40:31 - Kari - What are your thoughts on too much water?

00:43:36 - Sheri - How do you feel about supplements to give you more energy to work out?

00:47:45 - Janice - I need to find intrinsic motivation. (Yep! I’m commenting on this one too!)

00:48:32 - Laura - How can I get a general question to you?

00:50:34 - Janet - Regarding calories, should I be eating 1453 calories (the five calculator average) or 1650-1700 calories (based on body weight)?

00:55:24 - Karen - You have talked about maintaining your weight goal and being comfortable with a three-pound window. How do you modify your diet if/when you go outside that window - either high or low?

59:20:00 - Amanda - I’m just about ready to start the maintenance phase of my weight loss journey. How can I figure out how many calories to eat?

01:04:35 - Kari - In calculating calorie intake, what is a reasonable amount of weight per week to lose?

01:09:38 - Tracy - Do you know much about metabolic adaptation and how to reset your metabolism? I’m wondering what the process is and how long it takes.

01:14:25 - Nancy - Do you have any insight on why our weight fluctuates so much in a day?

01:16:16 - Marcia - How can I better handle the mindset of my weight moving up and down within the 250s? I’ve been here a long time now and am no longer frustrated. I am simply working the five steps.

01:24:24 - Darthy - I’ve reached my goal weight and I’m ready for toning workouts. Can you tell me where I can find them?

01:26:10 - Laura - Where can I turn in questions for the Q+A Fridays?

01:27:58 - Negin - When you say to put a zero at the end of your weight to determine the correct number of daily calories, do you mean one’s current weight or goal weight?

01:28:54 - Kim - Do you run at all anymore?

01:29:35 - Sue - I don’t sweat with moderate workouts. Does that say something about the effect of exercising on my body? Or is it just how my body works?
