Not really

Probably although I don't watch a ridiculous amount. Almost all TV people watch is too much really.

Awesome

Immediate family? My brother

Summer

Late, unfortunately. It's a weak area for me and I hate it. I am working on it but I suck at it.

Car problems?

Unfortunately, both. I like the early morning as long as I go to bed early enough to get a good night's sleep but I rarely do that. I work very well at night though except I sometimes do crash.

Of course!

Summer!

Nope

Pay off debt, give 10% away, save/invest 10%, buy some gifts, buy a (reasonable/regular) house, buy a new SUV or truck, take a vacation, attain a few professional certifications, invest in my business.

At a movie theater? Less than once a year!!!

I think she's innovative and has figured out how to appeal to many folks, but I'm personally not a fan.

Thank you for asking me that here on Mindspring, too! I hope that my answers on Twitter in our discussion end up helping you meet your goals, but I'll write a little synopsis of my answers. No worries about your English... It's great!

Muscles are great because the more muscles you have, the more fat your body burns, so as you gain muscle, your ability to burn fat just gets better and better! That is one (of many) reasons why it tends to be easier for men than women to burn fat faster once they start gaining muscle. Since they have the ability to gain muscle faster and more of it, their fat-burning capacity tends to be better.

So my first piece of advice is to strength-train several days a week, and make sure the focus is more on lower amounts of sets & repetitions, and higher amounts of weights. I won't get into the details of that, but if a there are trainers working at your gym, ask them! Definitely cover all the muscle groups, too, upper body, lower body, and core, but don't overdo it. No need to do more than about 4-5 lifts per body section, and definitely do squats. Form is very important when lifting, so ask a trainer to make sure you're lifting with proper form and technique.

As for cardio, variety is a good idea. Do cardio 4-6 times per week. Have all but two days be about the same amount of time and intensity, about 30 minutes. One of the other days, go longer, like about 50 or 60 minutes (build up to it gradually if needed), and have the other day include some very difficult (relative to your fitness level) intervals. So that would mean warming up for 5 to 10 minutes, then spending the next 20-25 minutes switching back and forth between very hard, intense sessions of 20 seconds to 2 minutes, with sections of short rest between. Cool down for about 5 minutes afterwards. You can experiment with it to see what intensity works for you and how much rest you need. Your intensity will increase over time as you get in better shape. Be conservative about it at first until you get more comfortable with it and learn what your body can handle. You should feel very tired at the end of these workouts. You can do a variety of different types of cardio for this: running, bike, rowing, elliptical, stair climber, etc.

It's really important to have a healthy diet, too. Lean protein from white meat like chicken, turkey, and fish are great as well as the leanest beef occasionally. Also any plant source of protein, like beans, is awesome. Speaking of beans, veggies and fruits (but especially veggies) are so important. And last but not least, whole grains. Get whole grain pasta, whole grain bread, brown rice, etc. Avoid white rice. Potatoes are okay but not the best. Corn is a grain, not a veggie. Tomato and avocado are fruit, not veggies. Find two or three veggies you like enough to eat frequently and have them every day.

The mental aspect of health & fitness is very important, so start telling yourself that you like vegetables instead of saying that you don't like them. I like this mantra: "If it's good for me, I like it. If it's not good for me, I don't like it." "It" can be anything and everything. This type of mantra really helps with the mental aspect of choosing to like good/healthy things, and choosing to not like bad/unhealthy things. Anyway, getting back to food, nuts like almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans, walnuts, etc., are wonderful snacks. Yogurt, dark chocolate, chocolate non-fat milk, and low-fat cheese and good snacks, too. Always try to have a significant source of protein (like yogurt) within a half hour after exercising. Eating protein right after working out will help your body maximize results.

I could go on and on. None of what I said covers everything, but it's a good start. If you have considered working-out at home, for you, I would recommend TurboFire from www.beachbody.com. They will ship it to you in Venezuela. If you follow that program, you will achieve your goals, have a lot of fun doing it, and save money not having to pay for a gym membership anymore!

That is a difficult question. I'd say it depends on your definition of "fast food" because if I am making it at home and it only takes a couple minutes AND it will prevent me from having to stop to get food somewhere, Shakeology is definitely the healthiest FAST food.

But I know that's not what you meant. Probably Panera, but not everywhere has that. Also Noodles & Co., Chipotle, McDonald's, and Taco del Mar. The trick is that ALL of these places (especially McDonald's) have VERY unhealthy options, but there are at least a couple good, healthy options to choose from at these locations.

In general, stay away from fast food altogether!

Yes, however I do think it would be almost impossible to live in modern society and never use the internet again. The internet is becoming more and more built-in to things and we must use it sometimes inadvertently.
