Hello :)

To help tone up and slim down as they say, I'm a firm believer in that water will do miracles and I'm not talking about 'flavored' water unless it's Propel with vitamins or naturally sweetened with real sugar, fruit or honest-to-goodness plain, chilled and portable/on hand.

Stay away from 'diet' or 'sugar-free' unless you're diabetic - the 'fake' or alternative sugar confuses the pancreas and liver in converting this type of sweetner into instant energy, so it stores it in 'fat' which is the equivalent of dropping one penny in the bank, exponentially. After a short period of time, 10g of sweetner turns into 10lbs of fat. Scary, isn't it? So, if you prefer the taste of it - use it sparingly. If not, forget about using 'diet/sugar free' and enjoy 'raw' or cane sugar since it is unprocessed. Honey is excellent if you enjoy tea, and there are other natural alternatives out there. Yes, they can be expensive. Otherwise, if you're on a low budget, stick to water and make those other drinks a 'treat'.

Another tip: don't 'deny' yourself anything. If you want it, have it - just remember: Food is necessary, eat and enjoy - just don't use it as an 'escape.'

As for weightloss overall: It depends on the level of activity, caloric intake, method and frequency of exercise and yes, type of diet. I've been enjoying what I like and moderation is the key. I've incorporated more water yet being sensible about my exercising/weightloss goals. Make "mini" goals such as "loose a pants-size" or "gain more energy" or perhaps work on overal stamina. Walking is wonderful and best of all -FREE!- Get a friend to come with you, or walk in a safe area with some music. Especially outside, the sunshine will be beneficial to your mindset. If you don't like walking, go for a swim, try rollerblading or jumprope - perhaps a beginner's Tae-Bo tape and crank up the tunes. Some physical routine will help out - just do it in spurts, 10 minutes to being with and do that anywhere up to 3 times a day and then only 3 times a week. You'll be stunned how easy it is!

Once you build some muscle mass, the weight will begin to shed. Sure, you will hit a plateau here and there, feeling as if you're stuck. Key to all of this is enjoying the workout, doing it for your health for the first part, then the desired figure will come later. If you try to rush the process, you could end up hospitalized. As we all know, hospitals are no fun at all - unless you're into wheelchairs and IV's... that's for a different conversation.

Basics of losing weight are this:

**Moderation in food (fiber rich/vitamins/minerals: eat them naturally if you can. If you cannot, I recommend Viactiv Mutli-vitamin chews once a day with plenty of water to -suppliment- and NOT replace real food.), lots of water and exercise.

**Positive Mind Frame is essential! Stress adds weight - so be happy and enjoy life!

**Doing the exercise to become healthier and happier, not to please someone else. That's another downfall of many women. How many men do you see rushing out to the gym to please a woman by working out? Not very many. This 'body renovation' is purely for yourself and then bask in the glow of those who are new/exisiting admirers of your newly found, inner and outer strenght.

**With enjoyment comes tranquility and when you're at peace with yourself, you'll notice your confidence rise and the weight will shed. People gravitate to those who have stability and positive attitudes.

**And no matter what size you are, you have to accept yourself for 'who' you are, not what you've become or what dress-size you are currently at. All women are vain at some point (even myself.) and it's a good thing in small doses. Just not every blessid minute of the day. I like to call them "Sheeple." They watch endless hours of MTV(2), E! and live off of gossip from tabloids/grossly over-sexed magazines to the "T" and wouldn't know their own tuckus from their elbow. ;)

If you only see yourself as 'beautiful' or only acceptable if you put on a full face of makeup and are wearing designer -overpriced- fashions and listening to what everyone else wants you to do, you're no better than the people who might have been antagonizing you in the first place.

So lose the weight for yourself and no one else. Do it for your health and well-being. Do it for your self-esteem and personal goals and most of all - Have Fun! I'm winning this battle. Sure, the benefit of losing weight is to have a "sexier" or more "attractive" body for a potential/existing partner, yet that all comes with attitude. The body is your temple for your soul. Treat it well, keep it well maintained and it will do wonders for you in return. This philosophy of strong mind, strong body, strong soul can be traced back to long ago with the most recognizable being the Greek/Roman era.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Get started today!
