drinking 8 glasses of water a day, really make a difference in weight loss? And if so why? If I add a packet of one of those Crystal light on the go things to my water bottle, is that considered cheating, or does it still count as one of your 8 oz. of water? I have only just now after years of sitting on my butt, gotten back to excersing. I have gone from doing no physical activity whatsoever to walking 3 miles a day. Today was only my third day of walking and I know that may not sound like much, but for me getting started is the hardest part. I have a very all or nothing type of personality. I have done nothing for years, but for me starting walking again was the hard part. I now have a walking partner and am very confident that I will be walking 3 miles a day, 5 times a week. I am really trying to change my eating habits but just out of curiosity, if I did not change my eating habits at all, how much weight could I expect to lose from going to being completely lethargic, to walking 15 miles a week. How soon can I expect to see results?
My worst area is my stomach. I am trying to do sit ups each night but the most I can do at a time is 11. I am hoping that if I do as many as I can each night, the number of situps I can do will greatly increase. Other than sit ups, can you recommend any good excericses for the stomach/ab area?
Please do not leave any rude comments. It is not the easiest thing to admit publically that you are overweight and unphysically fit, but I am honestly trying to change my ways. Tonight I ordered a Domino’s pizza for my son (extremely UNDER weight, so do not worry about me making him fat also) but I did not even eat one slice. I had soup instead. A first for me. So please, no judging, and positive and helpful comments only please.

i started my cat on k/d diet per recommendation from my vet. since she has started this food, she has lost weight (almost 2lbs since 7/2/07). before this diet change, she was a chubby cat, and i tried forever different weight control foods that did not work. she is acting the same, going to the bathroom the same, and even playing the same. the only change i’m noticing right now is her weight. i cannot get ahold of my vet today, so i thought i would ask to for opinions about this.. could this be just from giving her a more healthy diet? is that much of a weight loss in that amount of time normal? i tried searching the internet, and could not find information i am looking for. thank you in advance for any information shared.

I know that the healthy weight loss amount for one week is 1 – 2 lbs. If you go from barely exercising and not eating well, to changing your eating and exercise habits, itsn’t it true that in the beginning you usually drop more than that in a week for the first 2 or 3 weeks because your body is used to a higher caloric intake?

When diet soft drinks came out, the cans were covered with warnings that these drinks were only to be used by people who could not use sugar?Now kids, everyone drinks these drinks without a second thought. Why do they think they are safe now.

I’m about 5’6 249lbs im more of an apple shape body and i just started working out (gym) about 2 weeks ago and down 8lbs, i been told that i should do cardio first then weights for faster weight loss. how true is this, what is your opinion?
Cardio- half hour at a 3.4 speed
Elliptical-5-10mins
Weights-10-15mins………
Am i doing it wrong?

During pregnancy most people gain weight, but many others actually loose weight. But should there be any concern if this weight loss puts you under 100 Lbs.

The first week I start the Atkins diet it seems like I gain weight or bloat the first week,why is that?
