Carole - Let me know how it works. You will make a lot more....ummm....pit stops for the first few days until your body adjusts, but then it levels off.

Maybe you could add some flavoring to your water at first, like something low cal. I like the taste of bottled water and seem to drink more that way. (I'm sure it's all in my mind) Some have said on this thread that green tea is very good to drink, revees up the metabolism.

Hi Everyone...I love this website...quilting and weight loss! I have been on a weight loss/gain all of my life. Right now my hubby and I are on a year long journey to see how much we can lose in one year. We started last July 7 and so far have lost 57 pounds. It has been a slow loss, about 8 pounds a month, but it has been the best "diet" I've been on. Need to lose more, so I will be coming back here for encouragement and to give encouragement to others.

Hmmm green tea - anything that will revee up my metabolism
is worth a try. Boy this getting "older" and trying to loose weight sure isn't very easy - is it? But onward and downward I must go - I have my son's wedding to think of LOL
