first thing to do is start drinking a LOT of water. Second thing to consider, is to move to 6 small meals a day instead of three big ones. One thing that has helped me is having a piece of fruit or a handfull of vegies every hour, as well as a bottle of water every 90 minutes or so. This orning I weighed in at 186, I was 205 in the fall. My goal is to get to 180. So far so good, although the 2 bowls of ice cream I just had prolly didn't help, but BOY WAS IT GOOD!
