Dave....welcome to our happy group! Hope you'll enjoy sharing your weightloss journey with us.

I just had my first meeting with my trainer - I think he's going to be great! He said lots of thing that make sense to me, if I'd just stopped to think about them long ago. AND....I'll share some of his advice with you - no charge!

First piece of advice - hydration. He said "what ever your weight is in pounds - divide the # by 2 and that's how many oz. of water you should drink each day!" If you aren't, you can't maximize your metabolism etc. So, while I thought I was getting the right amount of water - I need to add some.

Second piece of advice - set small goals - things you can do - OK, we do that right???? Well, we probably tell you our BIG goals first - like Dave!

Jon (trainer) said - this week just set your goal to drink all that water EVERY day AND break a sweat exercising at least 4 times in the week! Of course I'll have to find time to get out of the bathroom :D in order to exercise!

So - now you know my goals - not one word about a scale or what I weigh - I'll let you know how it goes, but at least I know I can do these things! ;)
