Twitter topic of the day: What was the longest amount of time you dieted & worked out?

My #questionoftheday is what was the longest amount of time that you did your diet and/or workout?

Everyone will have different answers to the what was the longest amount of time you have dieted and worked out. Some will say days, most will say weeks. Some may even say months and then there are the few that will say years. For most dieting is just a temporary sacrifice to fit into their clothes or for some special ocassion. Then they slack off and gain weight until the next time they decide to lose weight. At that point it's harder to do because of the slacking off and additional weight gain. The easier way is to eat well year round to avoid weight gain and make dieting easier when you decide to do it. The best way though is to diet year round and get yourself to your ideal weight and then maintain it. When it comes to exercise, people tend to do that less than dieting! It's too hard, it's too much work, I'm too tired, I have no time! EXCUSES! Exercising has so many benefits not only for your health but also for your body & self-confidence. Exercise should be done year round. By exercising more you'll have to diet less. How's that for win-win? Don't be a sometime dieter and exerciser. Change your diet & exercise to year round, you'll be amazed at the difference in your weight, breathing & overall health.
