Walking v. Bike Riding
I'm having a bit of a brain fart today. Can anyone explain the benefits/differences between bike riding or outside walking, moderate pace?

Drinking at least 64 ounces of water..
So I usually drink at least 48 ounces of water every day. I decided since that didn't seem to be helping the weight loss I would up it to at least 64 ounces of water (plus whatever other liquids I drink during the day.
