  • It's totally normal to walk every now and then. Everybody has their good days and bad...don't let a need to walk get in your way. Just getting out and moving is the key. Keep that up...weight loss and better health will not be far behind.

  • Hi, The answer is yes. Water from any food counts toward your water requirement. The 8-8oz glasses recomendation is just that...a recomendation. Everyone's water intake is unique, but every food/drink has some portion of water in it which your body will use. Lettuce, coffee, milk, soup, even hamburger buns...have some…
