Here comes Ophie to Rule the Day

Okay gents, girls, women, crones and boys. This is the week. Last week was a successful try in my humble opinion. So this week, I am going all out. If I do not make any more posts it is either because I am curled up in my cubicle at work asleep from exhaustion or I have dropped over dead from losing to much weight. <chuckles>

Here is my progress so far:

January: Start of Exercise:
Weight: 362lbs
T-shirt: 5x
Pants: 48
Jacket: 60

April: Phase two standing:
Weight: 336lbs
T-Shirt: 3x/4x
Pants: 46
Jacket: 58

I shall keep all of you updated. But I have a LONG way to go to reach my goal of around 240lbs. See you there..

Okay... 6 AM and 8 glasses of water already. I am starting to feel like a fish. I have had some people say that you have to drink at least 16 glasses of water per day on exercise days PLUS 1 glass for each pound you are planning to lose that week? So for me it would be 16 glasses plus 2 more glasses since I plan on losing 2lbs per week. So I have to drink 18 glasses per day this week?

Glass = 8 fl. oz

Any science to back this up?

Congrats on your progess so far

I'm not sure about the water thing. There was however, an article posted on here the other day about water and weightloss. It suggest 8 glasses of water/day for those at a healthy weight. However, it also suggested drinking 1 glass of water extra for every 25 lbs of extra weight you would want to loose So for me at 310 lbs I would have to drink an extra six glasses a day for a total of 14. I already drink about 12 glasses a day so .... Also I find it easier if I have say a large bottle of evian water. Mine I use are 750 ml about 4 - 8 oz glases. So I only have to drink a "few" instead of 8 or 12 or 14, trick my brain lol.
