One more question...fruit..I eat a lot of it.Plums,oranges,bannas,peaches and apples.Could that be puting too much sugars in my system,I do eat veggies and not to much red meat anymore,mostly chicken,fish or pork sometimes.
Recently I met with the sergons about my back injury..if I can lose another 50 pounds I can avoid sergery.This weight has go to go.

Hey you!

Try this: get yourself a Brita filter and use that for your water. It will end up being cheaper than bottled and taste WAY better than tap. Then, go to any store...grocery....Walmart....etc and go to the Koolaid aisle. Find the drink mixes to put into your water. Buy some. Use them and you'll be able to drink more water, which is better for you. I like Ocean Spray's White Peach Cran and Great Value's Orange and Great Value's Fitness Mix (has added vitamins 'n stuff but that's not why I buy it) Strawberry Kiwi. I drink a LOT more water when it doesn't taste like water.
