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 am trying to get back in shape and have not had much success. I am motivated. I track what I eat and exercise regularly. I know I am eating enough calories but I drink A LOT of water flavored with those “sugar free” drink mixes. Is this hindering my weight loss?

I am on the induction phase of the Atkins diet and not losing weight. It’s only been a week but I thought I might have results by now. Some small result and I have not eaten anything that is not allowed in induction. I am definitely in ketosis.
I smoke. 3-5 cigs per day. Will that hinder weight loss on the Atkins diet? I know that induction is period where your body is detoxing so I wonder how smoking affects this.
No Atkins debunkers or guesses please. I need sound advice from those that know the answer. Resources most appreciated. Thanks heaps.

Ive lost 30 lbs and have got 20 lbs before I reach my ideal weight. If I start an intense weight training regimen, eat a lot, and take creatine, I know I will gain weight. But in the process of bulking up, will I lose fat or will my weight loss so fae go down the drain?
