You hear this over and over again, that drinking enough water daily is important! Not just for your health but for weight loss. I have not been very diligent about drinking enough water daily, chosing coffee, tea, or an occasional soft drink.

However, today I can tell you after drinking 64 oz. of plain water a day I've lost 4.4 pounds in the last 9 days. Never in my life has my metabolism been able to burn off pounds so quickly.

I know of a friend who has lost 24 pounds in 28 days, but if it was me, I would gain them back just as fast as I would take them off.

This challenge has show me, we must have water to lose weight successfully and it is a habit I MUST do daily.  

Yesterday, I had a doctor's appointment, and their scale verified what mine has been telling me.

I couldn't help myself I was telling my doctor about Weight Loss Buddy and what wonderful help and people are on here. I told him how my youngest children made a New Year's Resolution to lose weight and have kept it. It got me to thinking I really needed to get serious about it, but I needed more help. So I searched online and found this wonderful website.

Well, he really was listening to my chatter, because he came back and asked me what the name of the website was again, because he wants to recommend it to patients. He says he will often refer them to Weight Watchers because the main thing is the support of buddies, but not all his patients can afford it.

May I give a virtual ((HUG)) to all the wonderful people here, and what a blessing you are to me!!
