What More Can Ya Do?

[Guest cutegirl19atx]

Yeah, so I'm doing about 10 lbs a month or so, but I honestly feel like it's slowed way down (maybe it's all the candy dishes at work). I'm exercising one hour to one hour and a half a day, but honestly I almost never drink anything, and I see a lot of "liquid" references. I probably drink less than 2-3 cups of liquid a day. I just... never drink. What should I do? Diet pills, hollywood diet... anyone, anything? I'm trying get all Britney-Spears fabulous (ha ha ha) by March for my Australia trip...

I don't understand what your post is supposed to say. What do you want help with if you are losing about 10 lbs a month? That is fabulous so what is the problem?

10 pounds a month is awesome - you're doing everything right EXCEPT drinking your Water.

It is recommended to consume .5 oz of Water for each pound of body weight per day. Remember, we are talking WATER - not just any ol' liquid.< /p>

Why? Who cares? Water washes away the wastes of the body, particularly the wastes associated with weight loss. Without adequate water, wastes are stored in cells as toxins, and disease sets in. Without adequate water, your kidneys work overtime, trying to filter wastes and toxins out of the blood without enough "solvent" to make this task easier. Wastes that don't get moved through dissolved in water can crystalize and create kidney stones.

Without adequate water, the body becomes dehydrated and tries to hold on to what little water it does get. This also helps keep wastes and toxins in your system.

Once you kick up your water you may not see an increase in your weight loss, but you can rest assured that your body will be healthier.

Adequately hydrated people should have very very light urine. If your urine is dark chances are you are very dehydrated. Certain B Vitamins will turn your urine bright yellow, so that doesn't count.

I'm not quite sure why you seem disappointed with a 10 pound a month weight loss. I say, "Congratulations! Whoo hooo!"
