Anyone else had this problem when increasing water intake?
My wife and I recently bought smart bottles so that we could start tracking our water consumption. The app tells me to drink about 109 ounce daily and my wife's says about 50.

Lacking motivation
Looking for some people that go to the gym after work in the evening. Since I started 6 months ago, I was working 2nd shift (3pm - 11pm).

I love the taste of fresh corn, its got a little bit of sweet taste, I think it could add something to one of my veggie smoothies. Anyone tried this or have a good smoothie…

Back at it!!
5 years ago I lost 100lbs counting calories, then I got married to someone who cooks irresistable food. When I lost the hundred pounds I was single and eating frozen boxed meals every night, it made counting easy because calories are listed right on the back. Trying to figure out the calorie count in rice and black beans…
