Mermaids


Years ago Weight Watcher's had an on-line support group called Mermaids. They supported each other in weight loss and made sure that people drank their water each day!

I read somewhere that a good rule of thumb was 8 ounces for every 25 pound you are overweight. I need to lose 100 pounds. So I should drink a minimum of 32 ounces (8X4) OR you can drink half your weight on ouces of water. SO If I am 193 pounds I need to drink at least 96 ounces or 12 cups. That seems pretty high to me so I am starting with 4 cups a day.

So I am wondering is that another 4 cups added to my already daily maximum of 8 cups?

I read that Robin Marie (from Portland)drank 128-160 ounces of water per day. She said she had 32 ounces after each of her 5 meals. That is alot of water. Is that is too much water? I am not sure I oculd or would do that!

I need to drink more water! I am using the Frizzante 1 L bottle as a start. It makes a good water bottle.
