I lost another pound!!!!!!!!!! It's the water, and, I am only eating right around 50-75% of my exercise calories, depending on if I am hungry!!!!!!! Oh thanks all of you that have encouraged me. Especially my friend, edie(nwfamilygal)and fitness_chick as well since she is who got me to drinking atleast half my body weight:happy: :bigsmile: :drinker: .

Love to all of you:heart::flowerforyou: and keep drinking:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

PS I am drinking on an average, 3 thirty-two ounce glasses of water a day and it is getting so easy to do so. Again, my skin is so soft, even at age 56!!

    I don't know "why" it works but fitness chick said she drinks half her weight in water each day so I did the same!! I just knew how the scales were gonna read this a.m. I also feel so much better not eating all the exercise calories. I "listen" to my body and if I am feeling hungry I eat, but something healthy and I don't eat just 6 meals or 5, sometimes I eat 8. Anything to avoid eating too much at one time, yeehawwwwwwwwww! We are winners sis!!! love and hugs, denise:heart: Btw, that 32 ounce glass helps me a lot. Keeping track and all, and, I don't have to keep filling it up all day;) 4 eight oz a glass ya know watt' am sayin:laugh: :bigsmile:

    There was a post from someone within the last day or so about the Lipton Green Tea On The Go. I went and purchased a couple of flavors and WOW! These are actually very good. As someone who dislikes water and has gone from drinking absolutely no water (thirsty used to = soda) to drinking only water and gradually trying to increase the amount of water, I am always looking for ways to make it taste better. I have only tried the cherry blossom, but am looking forward to trying some other flavors. :drinker:

    Good for you sis, I hated water too! That's just not normal, LOL! But it was because I wasn't taught to drink it. I was raised on pop, milk and anything "but" water. So now, it's beginning to be all I crave as far as a thirst quencher. I am blessed with well-water that is delicious. I like it way better than bottled even. But I was at my sisters over christmas and they have city water. I put a squirt of lemon in mine though and it was fine:) I don't know if it will be the same for you, but I love the purity of drinking water now. Just knowing it's best for me makes me want it more. hugs!!! denise:flowerforyou: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Ahhh I'm so happy for you Hon:drinker: Good for you for getting in all your water...I was telling Fatty78 to look you up so she could get an idea of how not being able to get water down can change to getting a good days water in. Hopefully you guys make contact on here somehow:bigsmile:

    So excited you're seeing the scale dropping numbers for you with all your hard work!! thHUGFriend-1.gif

    Just for me and my body, and I am not professional, two things held me back. First, I was not eating enough of my exercise calories, then, I was eating too many of them. I had to listen to my own body and determine how much of each food group I needed. I eat 6-8 meals a day from all the basic food groups. The other thing, was the water. I hated drinking it and probably was in a state of dehydration when I hit this site. God bless and wishing you all the best, I know you can get there if I can:bigsmile: :flowerforyou: Write me anytime:)

    a fitness buddy, denise:)

    Great Job! Hope to be reporting pounds soon as well. Keep it UP!

    Hey SGFlynn, how did you get your ticker to do that? I love it!

    The picture?
    It's a monthly comparison poster that I made on my computer. I then used it as my pic on the ticker. It spans from Apr '07 until Sept '08.
    Thanks.

    for me it isn't a theory, I proved it works, for me. I was getting no where losing until I started doing that, plus, stopped eating "all" my exercise calories. Someone else may have more scientific info on it, Im sorry I don't:)
