POLL RESULTS: "What is your favorite no-calorie beverage?"

What is your favorite no-calorie beverage?

water	2 (100%)
diet soda	0 (0%)
seltzer water (natural favors)	0 (0%)
sparkling water (ones sweetened with artificial sweeteners)	0 (0%)
flavored water (ones sweetened with artificial sweeteners)	0 (0%)
other	0 (0%)

Votes: 2

Only two votes...but oh well, those who voted are really smart! Water is the best option on the list. Diet soda makes you gain weight (see my articles on it here and here) , and carbonated drinks (even seltzer water without anything artificial) can cause bloat and stomach stretching (which none of us want). It's okay to enjoy seltzer in moderation or once and a while, but plain good ol' water is really the best option. Yay for you voters being smart! :)

For those of you that would like me to share more personal stuff, go to my other blog "Murmurs and Monologues from MyzzLyzz" which you can get to by clicking on my profile in the about me section. Or, follow this link. But that blog is not entirely about my weight loss struggle, its more like...general topics and stuff, but feel free to check it out. :)

I think its cool that so many of you are supportive. I really enjoy seeing my number of followers go up, and my page views. It really makes me smile! :)

As far as the people who voted never to come back...thanks for trying to darken my sky, but it makes me giggle to think you disliked my blog enough to not come back, but yet you took time to vote in my poll. Thats a little strange to me. Haha

As always, thanks for voting! New polls are up! :)

POLL RESULTS: I would like more advice about...

Time for poll results! :)

I would like more advice about...
causes of weight gain = 7 (53%)
exercise tips = 5 (38%)
diet tips = 8 (61%)
how to deal with "real-life" situations = 5 (38%)

(25 total responses)

I know those percentages aren't adding up but for whatever reason the blog site isn't fixing them....and at the second im too lazy to calculate, so I'll probably fix it later. haha

Overall, it was pretty evenly spread out between all those categories. But I definitely will try to mention more causes of weight gain and more diet tips.

Thanks for voting! Make sure you have your voice heard - the polls are at the bottom of the page. I appreciate your input! :)

Thank you all who voted!

Speak your mind and let your opinion be heard, the polls are at the bottom of the page! :)

I personally fit into all the categories, but if I had to pick, I would probably have voted for "to improve my self-esteem."

The next poll to expire is the "I would like more advice about..." one. Happy voting!
