    Anyone have any ideas on how to lose some water weight (and quick). I have the bloated belly this week and have to get into a cocktail type of dress on Sunday. I've been working out like crazy and drinking a ton of water.....

    WELCOME to arwamya and jocyneal and serious and kyndra!!!!


    kargreen-well the water is a great idea...of course watch your sodium intake for the next few days, but someone once told me that coffee is a natural diuretic...so i try to drink 3-5 cups of coffee, with no cream or sugar, the day before my weigh-in every week!! it definately makes me pee much, much more and i haven't had any regrets about doing it yet!! (i have done it every week for the past 6 weeks!!) so just a suggestion :) good luck!

    Green tea is a natural diuretic food that has been in use for centuries in China.

    Consumption of cranberry juice can aid in removal of excess fluid retention.

    Apple cider vinegar exhibits natural diuretic properties and in addition maintains the potassium levels. It can be added to the salad dressing.

    Dandelion is often used as a natural diuretic.

    Nettle has natural diuretic properties that facilitate good cleansing.

    Dandelion leaf tea aids in detoxification and has a beneficial effect on those suffering from cystitis and urinary tract infections.

    Fennel has carminative and diuretic properties and is frequently used in seasoning food.

    Welcome to all the newbies this group is great and very supportive!!!

    Well I have been tracking faithfully this past week and getting the hang of it I think!! lol I have been getting in my 8 cups of water minimum which is huge for me so Im excited about that!
    I actually havent missed my morning coffee run on the way into work and most people are shocked as I drank 2 extra large coffees everyday. I dont miss them because I know I have a bigger reason to not want it...my health and losing weight. I was also at Costco today and didnt even take any samples, crave the goodies in the cake section and felt god about it. I havent even felt the need to cheat........at my parents I usually would drink tea etc while there...and I was good I asked for water...my parents are proud that Im sticking to it so far and I even started growing my nails in December which was huge as I have been a nail biter my hole life!! Im just at a stage where Im ready for big changes and Im excited for what 2011 will bring :) Hopefully some weightloss lol
    Good luck girls and guys I know Saturday we will all rock (at least I hope I do lol) :)

    I found this beautiful poem on the web and wanted you to get motivated by it. I believe it is called

    new_25.gif Created by

    "Don't Quit"

    When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

    When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
    When the funds are low and the debts are high,
    And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
    When care is pressing you down a bit-
    Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
    Life is queer with its twists and turns,

    As every one of us sometimes learns,
    And many a fellow turns about
    When he might have won had he stuck it out.
    Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
    You may succeed with another blow.
    Often the goal is nearer than

    It seems to a faint and faltering man;
    Often the struggler has given up
    Whe he might have captured the victor's cup;
    And he learned too late when the night came down,
    How close he was to the golden crown.
    Success is failure turned inside out -

    The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
    And you never can tell how close you are,
    It might be near when it seems afar;
    So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
    It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
