If you missed our latest #FoodFri Tweetchat, Sheds 100 Pounds + Gains Love of Food, don't despair! We're here to give you the run-down.

If you're like many, the New Year is a time for resolutions. Most center their resolutions around improvement of body and mind. Yet, did you know that 92% of individuals that create healthy New Year's resolutions fail? Yes, it's true!  It's no wonder our latest tweetchat was so well attended. Our featured panelist, Irina Gonzalez, is one of the 8%, a true success story. She lost 100 lbs, maintained the loss, and also discovered a newfound love of healthy food and a new career. During the chat she answered 10 questions. Below we noted some of the most memorable tweets.

It's interesting to note that Irina's yo yo dieting began at a young age.

A2. I've always been a chubby kid, but it really began as a freshman in 9th gr--I didn't eat b'fast & only had a soda for lunch. #foodfri

Want to ensure the weight stays off? Crowding out seems to be the key! And like Better Bites (@Snack_Strong), we like it too!

We like it! MT @irinagonzalez health coach tip: "crowding out" foods, eating more veggies #FoodFri

Just make sure you don't skip.

Many people think they can avoid putting on extra weight by skipping meals. This is a bad idea! Much better to eat healthy often. #FoodFri — Vida Saludable (@AHA_Vida) January 10, 2014

And, don't forget to mimic your Abuelita/grandmom, she had the right idea!

.@myhippiehome @MomsRising Yes, I'm a big proponent of "if my abuelita didn't didn't eat it (processed foods), it's not for me." #FoodFri — Irina Gonzalez (@irinagonzalez) January 10, 2014

Home-made seems to be key.

.@mcbyrne I love breakfast, but I opt for #homemade oatmeal over store-bought cereals, which can have a lot of sugar. #FoodFri — Irina Gonzalez (@irinagonzalez) January 10, 2014

#FoodFri participants chimed in  sharing their knowledge as well!

Want your weight loss resolution to succeed, avoid "want more" foods. They are addictive and will have your body riding a merry-go-round.

@healthyplate5 @myhippiehome @MomsRising We call them "want-more" foods http://t.co/RNpQPaWcjw #foodfri — Casey Hinds (@CaseyHinds) January 10, 2014

@MomsRising just like drugs. Fills that hole temporarily and makes you want more. Very addictive foods out there - vicious circle. #FoodFri

And, it wouldn't be #FoodFri without a recipe. This 140 character recipe was so easy peasy, I implemented it that night!

To make the easiest oatmeal EVER in the #slowcooker overnight: 1c. steel cut oats + 4c. water + 3-4 mashed bananas. 7hrs on low. #FoodFri

Till next #FoodFri, like Christy Wilson, @ChristysChomp, we hope you give yourself a high five each time you eat healthy!

@MsLatina @irinagonzalez @healthyplate5 Using my slow cooker is like giving myself a high-5 at dinner time. #foodfri ✋
