Hi there Donna in reference to your cranberry water.

Hi there Donna, Thanks for telling us about the cranberry water. I started to drink it and finally see the scale move, you guys are great, I weighed myself on the scale and I finally come down 5 pds after one month. I am now drinking or trying to drink at least 64 ozs of this mixture, I add sweet and low and it perks it up. I now weigh 160 pds... I have tears and I am crying of joy,, I am so happy. I am very emotional and you guys take me through this hard time of me adjusting..I am now down to 160 pds, I have lost 85 pds since 12/15/03. Guys have a good day and thank you Donna for you suggestions. It is a great inspiration to have you guys on my side.... my losing side. All you guys lets all post and talk and keep in touch. We all share a special time in our lives when something as great as this has changed us. to all......love LORRAINE

Awwwwwww Lorraine! Why so emotional? I think you are the closest to goal of all of us! You are doing great hunny! We all love you, always know that! HUGS ANS KISSES! Tracy As for the cranberry water....what is cranberry WATER? You mix cranberry juice in water and how many parts? Will just cranberry juice do? Do you have to find SF?

Thanks for the hugs, Lorraine! You GO, girl! We'll ALL cry when you hit goal!!! Tracy, the cranberry water is just 1 cup of Ocean Spray LIGHT cranberry juice ****tail (40 cals, a few carbs, as opposed to 120 cals for the regular) in 64 oz of water. Mix and drink all day. I did this, and lost 6 pounds in less than 4 days. Flushes all the water retention right out of ya! It may also be that I increased my water intake at that time, but I've had a few people do the cranberry water, and they're ALL losing weight, and they did not increase their water intake. Let me know if you do it and it works for you! Donna

Hi there Tracy, I am a very emotional person. I know you guys love me.. I have been mixing just about 1 oz of cranberry juice regular or light and the res****er, I add sweet and low to spruce it up. It seems to be working for me. I can never get my fluids in and now its a bit better. Thanks Tracy for your encouragment. I know I will soon be at goal... to me and you guys. Arent we working hard this year? to all of you guys and try the cranberry mixture also..LORRAINE

Hi Lorraine, If I had to rely on nothing bu****er, juices, diet sodas, crystal lite etc. I'd never get my fluids in either. I drin****d tea, almost exclusively. I seem to stay more thirsty that way. It is something that I enjoy drinking more thananything else so I drink it all the time. I mix three "Sleepytime" tea bags (chamomile blend tea) with two of the Decafinated Luzianne tea bags in about 1.5 quarts of water, then mix in Splenda to taste. It is so refreshing, I love it. It's the ONLY thing that keeps me hydrated! Maybe you could try that and get in your fluids? Tracy
