I didnt know about the water thing, everytime I get hungry I normaly try to eat a fruit or vegetable, which leads me to my next question: I read somewhere that you should only eat apples and oranges because most fruit is not good if you are trying to lose weight, since you are successful, is this true? Also, do you know if the protien bars and shakes are any good, or just a gimmick?
I normally drink a good 10 to 12 cups of water a day, even if im not thirsty, and its very hard to give up soda. I also cut the junk food and fast food too, hopefully I will give up eating that garbage for good.
If you dont mind me asking, what are you physical stats: weight, height, and age? How much did you weight before you lost the 25 lbs?
Once again, thanks for the info.

sounds like you are doing all the right stuff. You mentioned soda, I do not drink that at all. I do dabble in the occasional beer though, I'm from the midwest, so that is not easy to give up. the way i see it, if you keep everything in moderation, you'll do fine. unlike this good damn country that wants to supersize everything.....my bad wrong forum for this....this goes back to my idea that this is a mental change and not just physical. BTW....I'm 34, i started at about 185 and i am now around 158 to 162 it varies, i'm 5'8"....my goal was not to bulk up....i mainly wanted to feel better about myself. for exercise, I run about 10 to 15 miles a week..it varies and i just started looking into Yoga. that will be a big change.
I do not know much about protein shakes or bars. i eat a cliff bar every other day for a snack.....i like them the best. check them out at
http://www.clifbar.com/ i actually found the cheapest price on them at wal-mart.
keep up the good work. i wish i realizd all of this when i was 22.
