Wow - You motivated me to go fill my water bottle. I will post tomorrow how many times I empty it. I have never been that motivated since it just means I have to visit the bathroom more often. As I read your journey, I weigh what you did 4 years ago. I am 5' 9". If I ever get down to what I weighed when I got married 43 years ago, I would be a new person. Thanks for the motivating words and I loved your parrot joke.
I think I might reach that 5 pound goal you mentioned by Monday. Is that when we post? As I am new, I am just learning all the procedures. As for the snack, I try to eat a tiny bit more often because of diabetes issues. I do eat the raw veggies and with it being apple season, I will munch on those. Today is rainy, I think I will make that cabbage soup you mentioned. I know that will taste wonderful on this gray day. Happy quilting, I am off to quilt a OBW of leaves I call Autumn Fallin.

Yes,we've all said drink,drink,drink,lots of water.It fills us up and flushes out the fat.I drink a qt in a 30 minute window 3 X a day at a minimum.That 30 minute one flushes the fat out because it's not a sip here,or a sip there.YTou may not need a qt 3 x a day.They say drink 1/2 your weight in oz of water.Like me at 250 pounds.needed 125 oz a day at a minimum.Now at 160 pounds,I only need 80 oz.But do way more than that.Because I need it.Good luck.And hang in there.You CAN do it!I did it,and so did Purplemarm and also Lynn has lost a lot on here,as well as nancia,irishrose,and a lot of others.Missy has done great.We can do it if we get tired of lugging it around and mainly for health reasons.Hang in there!!!!!!!!
