[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 21028, member: 84"] MWM Good sound advice. One has to focus on healthier, not "dieting". Until I did that, I really didn't get anywhere, or at least not for long. And I found that if I even sort of thought of it as "dieting" I craved everything I really shouldn't eat 10xs worse than ever. Especially sweets, and I'm not a big sweets fan. I've crept back up too. Partly because it's winter, and more so cuz I'm holding a ton more water than normal. I'm really having the watch my foods now that the kidney's are really getting bad. Splenda was my savior. lol I actually love the stuff. And it's the only sweetner I can tolerate in coffee or cereal. (a big deal for me) I drink iced tea with Spenda in it, but am going to try your water combo and see if it tastes good to me. Thanks for the tip! I'm supposed to drink water. Mostly all water. But it gets really old fast. And you're right about exercise. I hate to exercise. And when I started, well I'm not exactly the healthiest person, so I had to be careful. So I started walking the dogs. Or they started walking me. (all my dogs pull on the leash til they tire lol ) We started out at just 2 blocks. Worked our way up to 4 miles a day.
