I’m answering quite a few Qs about GOALS, but we also touched on drinky birds, counting calories, and learning to love our bodies - wrinkles and all🤟. Let’s get to it, shall we?

00:04:45 - Jacqueline - I don’t want to identify a goal weight because if I don’t reach it, I don’t want to think that I’ve failed. I want to do the plan and be pleased with whatever results I get. So should I shoot for a certain weight or for a certain clothing size to identify my “weight loss” goal?

00:16:44 - Leena - I have 10 more pounds to lose, but I want to continue my running, which is now a part of who I am. Can I continue to run AND do your videos or is that too much to reach my weight loss goal?

00:24:35 - Priya - When I’ve done strength training in the past, my lower body became thicker, even though I was within my calorie intake. Should I strength-train going forward without doing lunges and squats?

00:29:22 - Gaynor - Can flavored sparkling water be included in a person’s daily water intake?

00:32:43 - Jackie - I used to be slightly taller but with age and arthritis, I don’t measure quite as tall. Should I use the calorie calculators in your plan for my current height or for my original bone structure?

00:38:30 - Kim - Can you talk a little bit about weight maintenance?

00:38:47 - Mary Beth - I’m recovering from a broken foot and am transitioning from seated workouts to standing. My balance isn’t what it used to be, and I’m wobbly. Can you tell me how to modify drinky birds?

00:44:55 - Julie - I just started your 5-0 Method. I only want to lose body fat, not weight. In fact, I would love to gain muscle and bone weight. Can you help me?
