  • I would say my biggest victory has been drinking 8 glasses a water EVERY day! This sounds easier than it is-trust me:smile: I have to measure and keep track of how much I've had to make sure I get at least 8 glasses in.

  • My story is similiar to everyone elses also. I am always "dieting" and never losing weight, sigh :( I walk, fast paced, 2 miles at least 4 times a week on a treadmill and still no loss. I went for my annual physical in January and discussed this with my doctor and was amazed when she told me the new excercise "standard"…
