How do you motivate yourself to stay on a diet? I've tried, but I always seem to give up the moment the initial excitement of "omg I'm gonna look great" wears off. How do you prevent that? Anything you tell yourself or any reward systems you use? Thanks!

I'm a college student going to a culinary school for baking - so we have to try everything we eat, but my roommates and I are trying to get fit before we leave for externship in July. We're walking twice a day - before and after class - and doing some other workouts, but we are having a hard time eating right since we don't have great choices for food all the time.

HELP! I need to lose weight like 20 pounds. I've lost and gained 30 pounds in the past two years, and it's miserable. I have almost no willpower when it comes to food. I can exercise just fine, but never enough to work off what I eat. When I cut out sweets completely, I ruin my diet within 24 hours. Any suggestions, success stories?

What is a good way to get rid of water weight? I've been feeling kind of bloated for a few days, I know it's not my period and I'm not pregnant. What's a good product or home remedy to get rid of water weight, or at least make me feel less bloated.

I'm going to start a diet today, including exercise and healthy eating. No diet foods, no fake products, anything fake is off the menu. I'm also a vegetarian. No fish, no meat, no poultry. I eat eggs from a local farm, which is a plus as far as health goes. My only problem is staying motivated to do it.

Is Organic really Better? I read that sometimes organic foods have bad chemicals on them because they need to be kept fresh as they are traveling to market. Also, they do not have much more nutritional content as conventional food. What is the major difference between the two and what is the big deal?

I always tend to overeat around the holidays with all the good food around me. What are some good tricks or tips to prevent this from happening this year???

I recently got test results from my doctor apparently I have hypoglycemia. So I have to start eating healthier and change my whole lifestyle. She told me to start eating 6 small meals a day. Which is going to be quite a task since usually I only eat 1-2 small meals a day, because I'm usually just not very hungry. To get to the point I'm trying to figure out what to eat. I'm pretty picky.
