A kinda slow start

[sugarsack]

think of it this way -

1 lb fat = a softball
1 lb muscle = a golf ball

therefore, 200 lbs of muscle can look much smaller than 200 lbs of fat.. but you weigh the same ! go figure...

as for water.... dont worry about drinking too much water, human bodies can process 32 oz of water AN HOUR... 16 waking hours per day.. you do the math, whoa !
i have heard to drink half your body weight in ounces.... 200 lb person should drink 100 oz of water PER DAY

hope that helps... oh, and .. COME HERE OFTEN, READ EVERYTHING, ASK QUESTIONS.. you will find amazing support and encouragement
