| Akleos, I know your right about cutting out Gatoraid. But it prevents me from habing Kidney Stones. I need to drink water instead. Its just Gatoraid taste so much better. So I am trying other stuff. I am cutting the coffee in half(Which is difficult because its a liquid--it just goes wherever it wants) lets see how the diet does.

| Keep the coffee but do you add anything to it? Caffeine is great for weight loss and having a cup right before working out is a plus. But when you add cream and sugar that is when it gets bad for weight loss. I stopped putting sugar in my coffee and I know use CoffeeMate Fat Free Hazelnut Creamer in my coffee know-refrigerator kind. And I agree with Janice get rid of the gatorade it has too much sugar!! Try flavored water or crystal light!!

Plain water can get real old - so here are a couple of tricks I've been given: *Measure out what you need to drink each day and keep it in a jug in the frig. *Whenever you think you are "HUNGRY" try a 4-8 ounce cup of water (its not as much as you think). Wait 15-20 mintues before trying to eat. You are probably only THIRSTY. *Drink your water COLD - ICE COLD - your body burns more calories bringing it up to body temp (don't know how true it is, but hey - I LIKE IT COLD!!!!) *As mentioned before - try the no/low calorie additive (Crystal Lite) for flavor in SOME of your water. *If you don't like the flavor of your tap water - filter it. Bottled water can get expensive. Well, that's all I can think of. Cutting out anything that you enjoy is difficult. I would say having one cup a day isn't going to kill you and it's certainly better than four. AND if that one cup a day keeps you from going wacko later and drinking two pot fulls - then that one cup a day is a good idea!!  Everything in moderation!

| If I remember correctly caffeine actually makes it harder to lose weight. The last few diets I've read up on have strongly suggested getting off the caffeine. I gave it up entirely (well as best I could) for 6 months or so. But I've gone back to about 2 servings a day or so. I have a diet pepsi or unsweet tea everyday.

Gatorade now makes a less sugarfull (I won't say sugar free) version. My DH has given it the stamp of approval. He drinks a lot of gatorade in the summer because he's out in the heat and not always able to hydrate as he should.

| Hi there Baloo. Have not seen you around lately!! I am going to give a chance to the compromise that Janice and I worked out. I do it her way or she is gonna spank my monkey!! And my monkey does not like to be spanked!! So I am drinking one bottle a day. And at least 60 ounces of water. I have gotten used to this now and its not that much problem!!!

| Well, Hi Youself!  Sorry you missed me--I've been working an INSANE amount at the school, and have only been lurking on the boards for the past month or so. Good luck with your diet, Scott-- (or is that a "die with a t"? as Garfield, that lasagna swigging comic feline claims.) Sorry Janice, couldn't resist....  |
