Topic: RE: Water Intake Questtion
Just thought of something I should've added. When distance runners drink too much when exercising they can have problems. The main reason is they are sweating out the electrolytes and diluting them to the point where the ion gradients no longer exist - and everything in our bodies run on some sort of ion gradient.

Dawn,
I also drink almost all my fluids while I'm at work. I think what you're doing is fine.

Hi Sherri,
Congratulations on your anniversary and 102 pound weight loss.
I just read your profile and see you are in school to be a RN. That's great. You'll really appreciate having lost all that weight when you are working those 12 hour shifts!! Wearing a size 4/6 is a great accomplishment. You must be so proud of yourself.
My son who hadn't seen me in 5 months is telling me too that I am too skinny and need to gain back some. No way, No how. Your sister is just used to seeing you at 240 pounds and it's hard since you lost it so quick.
Good luck with school and in maintaining your loss.

Topic: Water Intake Questtion
I can drink close to 100 oz of water a day mostly in an 8 hour period while I am at work. Is this too much to drink during that time frame. I dont drink when I eat, I wait 30 to 45 minutes to drink again.
Thanks

Happy Anniversary Sherri!
It's my anniversary too... I have been walking around my office all day today telling everyone that it's my anniversary- I have also been asking everyone where my anniversary party is. My boss replied- we didn't throw you a party because you are missing that girl that used to be attached to you! She's gone now forever! I am down 175lbs! 361-196! Not at goal yet but I have gone from a size 28 to a size 14!
I hope everyone else is having a great anniversary month as well.
Congratulations Sherri and everyone else!

Oh you will. I struggle every single day. I don't want to go back to my old ways. Sometimes I think that I haven't tried hard enough but I just go day by day and week by week. You are going to make it and from the looks of it you are going to keep it off.

Sherri,
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary. Isn't it amazing the changes we go thru after surgery and how our image changes both to those around us and within ourselves.
