I am soooo excited! Went back to Jenny yesterday and recommitted! I am excited to begin my journey today!

One question -- How much water??? Is it 6-9 cups? Does that include other liquids? Can't remember what I did last time..... and could not find the info in the small booklet my counselor gave me yesterday!

Thanks!

Welcome back 3meows! Drink eight 8oz glasses daily!!! I don't count my coffee or broth or anything like that towards my water because caffeine and sodium pretty much counter the benefit of that water. I actually try for 9 or 10 glasses and definitely feel better on those days. (I only got my 8 yesterday and my wedding band is snug today.) If you don't like water, there are things to help, like fresh lemon wedges, a product in the supermarket called Mio that comes in lots of flavors, etc. I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners, but there's also Crystal Light and all that. I just chug an 8oz cup every hour on the hour and it's not a big deal. I know some people have a really hard time with the water and I'm really thankful I don't!

Good luck!!!

Thank you ladies -- I am hoping I can get in 4 more glasses -- will try the suggestion for a crystal light for maybe 2 glasses -- that should help!!
