    I find that if I put crushed ice in my cup, it is easier to drink more:happy:

    I find putting Mio in mine does this, LOL

    I usually fill my cup up and try to drink a glass everytime I go into the kitchen (I stand there and drink the whole glass so that I don't set it down and forget it). I also try to drink at least 1-2 glasses with each meal. I've also seen a really great idea posted where you mark a cup with times throughout the day and try to hit that mark by the specified time:

    That is a great idea!! I found that I will drink a lot more if I have it a cup with a lid and straw. Training from all these years of eating out I suppose but I do at least get the water in.

    I keep a 16-32 ounce cup on top of my water jug. I try to drink at least 64 ounces a day, but goal for 96 or more. I feel better the more I drink.

    weather here today is perfect. low 70's with a cool breeze. a few tiny clouds, enough to be pretty :0)

    My 3 computer science project courses induced terrible sleep schedule is really wreaking havoc on my diet and exercise. I'm just exhausted all the time, and cooped up in the labs working on things. It's frustrating because I really want to take better care of myself, but academics are important and two of them are group project classes so I'm accountable to my team members. I'm just glad I only have the rest of this quarter and then 1 class in the fall, and then I get to graduate.

    That is frustrating. Can you bring food with you while you work in the lab? If not you can only do the best you can do..eat what is nearby but still track it. This to shall pass:bigsmile:

    Two steps forward, two steps back...

    I was down to 340 lbs in November (down from 380) - now I'm back to 365.

    But I haven't gained any size back! My arms are 1" larger (but more defined) and my legs are starting to look like carved tree trunks (and about as solid, too), and I'm still at the lowest belt hole.

    Where do I get my permanent membership card for this group?

    Isn't that crazy when your body is changing but your weight isn't? I can't say I've gained, but I have only lost 4 lbs (currently at 280) since the end of January (although some mornings it's back up to 283-284). My body is definitely changing though - I've lost several inches and am starting to see muscle definition in my arms. Clothes are fitting completely differently. That scale is the most frustrating though.

    I mean, at SOME point it has to go down. I can't continue to lose inches and reach my goal size but still be 280 forever. I would throw out the scale for at least a month but I have a commitment to weigh in weekly until the end of June. Seriously thinking about doing the no scale thing for a month after that though.

    I've had a rough couple of weeks too - but instead of being on my feet all day I'm sitting all day working on projects. I'm back in the saddle too and trying not to dwell too much on the unhealthy eating I've been doing.

    We all have moments where life gets in the way. It's important to brush ourselves off and get back on track as soon as we can. Keep going guys :)

    Good evening! Today was a long day....a long, dreary, drizzly day, but tomorrow should be nicer. I need to run errands and drop a check off at the gym so I can get back to the machine weights. Hope everyone is doing well.
