Mike...let's try to come up with a plan to help you start your day successfully. Is the problem at home or on the way to work or at work??

Carmella...don't worry about the scale until your induction is over. Then step on it to see did and refer to page 158 (my book) to see what your resistance is. After that you don't have to weigh until you want to. You may want to do once a month...or whatever. Water...DH should be drinking his through out the day. No good downing it all at once at night just so he can say he drank it all. Some people to really well with a water bottle. Others prefer glasses. some like a slice of cucumber in their water. Sounds weird but gives it a nice taste. Some like it at room temp. Some cold. Would he prefer the water bottles like you buy by the case? Gives him a visual of how much he has to drink and I would refill them a few times to help save the landfill and to save my money...LOL! After awhile it will become a habit for him. He'll be grabbing one to drink on the way to work before you know it. I keep a filled water bottle by the puter at all times. It disappears before I even know it.
