I am going to go with the clinical research on this one: http://www.waterbenefitshealth.com/drinking-water-to-lose-weight.html There have been 3 major clinical studies on the effects of water and dieting, all with the same conclusion...water increases weight loss. If you have counter research, I would love to see it.

You are truly a gift from God, and I thank you for sharing your inspirational story. I have him to thank for the extreme amount of grace that he has poured out onto me. Amen for his second (third, fourth, fifth) chances. Through him all things are possible. God bless.

Water....You should be taking in 1 Oz. of water for every 2 Lbs. of weight. Following the 8, 8 oz. servings is fine is someone is 128 Lbs., but people like myself need much more. The thing is, figure out what you need and stay consistent. The water helps flush fats from the kidneys and aids in weight loss. If you don't get…

Great job, amazing results. Thanks for the inspiration

Sorry for your loss. For someone that has the luxory to work in the Pet Business and take my best friend (Eli) to work, it was hard for me to find out last month that he had Stage 4 Lymphoma. He is currently going through his Chemo treatments, but I am starting to mentally prepared myself for the day you are facing today.…

We have similar goals/restictions, feel free to add me.

I have done some research on the topic but am not an expert. It seems that the answer is NO. I believe that the citric acid (or something) makes it not a good substitute.

Thanks for the calorie guidance. This is my target post exercise, so 6 days a week, I am taking in much more than 1450. I don't know if the guidance is still to hit 1500 net. Any thoughts? JAC

TrinNZ, You are correct. 400 Days. My calroie limit is 1440/day. Saw you were from Vancouver. Favorite city ever, I got to go there 8 times last year and quickly fell in love. My goal started at 125 in 1 year, but I figured I should stretch to get to my high school graduation day, so I had to up the days to 400. Hopefully…
