    This might help explain things:

    This site recommends 8 glasses per day plus an addtional glass for each 25 pounds that you
    need to lose.

    I see Laura has already posted the link to the water article, so here's the Welcome Notice with lots
    of other great links that may help you along the way.

    Welcome to this great newsgroup where you'll receive lots of support, advice, and encouragement.
    Once a week on Sundays, I post a list of links that newcomers to asdww might find useful. You may
    want to look for that later in the week, or do a backwards search for last Sunday's post.

    In the meantime, here's our FAQ: didian.comasdww our welcome notice:

    Here's a short synopsis of the USA program by Joyce -

    How many points you can eat is only based on your current weight, as you lose weight those points
    allowed will decrease (logic is that your body will need less to operate). At 183 pounds and based
    on the new US flexpoints system, you will have a set point target of 24. In addition to this you are
    allowed 35 flexpoints to be used throughout the week ... as well as any activity points you earn on
    a particular day. When your weight drops to 175, your target drops to 22 points ... weight reaches
    150, target once again drop to 20 points. 3 servings of dairy of recommended per day, 5 servings of
    fruit and veggies, minimum of 6 glasses of water.

    To calculate food and activity points, I love this computer desktop calculator ...
    zythra.compoints.exe

    The basic plan is easy. Eat at least your minimum daily number of points. Points do not carry over
    from day to day. You are allotted 35 weekly flexpoints to be used at your discretion ... can divide
    them up and use daily (would be an additional 5 points per day) or save them and use them for a
    special occassion during the week. Activity points are earned based when exercising, but can ONLY be
    used on the day they are earned.

    If you can afford $15/month, the online ww program might be a great thing for you to look into.
    There is lots of information available, as well as the food point database and journaling system.

    Joyce WW starting weight: 228.8 - 2/5/02 current weight: 133.3 Lifetime: 4/4/03

    Please note that if you live in onther countries (UK, Australia, NZ, Europe), the Points plans are
    different. The UK and Australia/NZ calculate points based on saturated fat and total kilojoules.
    Most of Europe calculates based on total fat and total kilojoules. The desktop calculator above can
    handle all of these programs.

    Disclaimer: As an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, asdww is unusual in that most of the people who
    participate are respectful, considerate folks who freely share their experience with and knowledge
    of WW, weight loss, and maintenance. Yet occasionally, spammers, trolls, and flamers show up to post
    advertising, false information, insults, and the like. Nearly all of the time, people like this are
    just trying to yank someone's chain. Most of the regulars on this newsgroup offer their experience
    as a suggestion to try if you're stuck, but are quick to advise that each person has to find what
    works for him/herself. If someone posts something that doesn't sound right to you, ask the
    newsgroup, ask your WW leader, or ask your health professional.

    Much success on your weight loss journey! WW works!

    Thanks to all for all of the encouragement and information. It's great to
    know that the battle does not have to won alone. I joined WW three weeks
    ago at 334 and was down 17 in the first two weeks. Tomorrow is the third
    weigh in and my fingers are crossed but I know that I have stuck with the
    program. I have, however, become quickly aware that when I quit smoking
    five years ago the task was easy compared to this one. However, I WILL WIN
    THIS ONE TOO!

    It keeps you hydrated. Much as not eating enough makes your body go into
    starvation mode, a lack of water makes you retain water. Additionally water
    in sufficient amounts allows your body to work more at cleaning and
    purifying your system. I am sure there those here who can tell you all of
    the studies, but all I know is that the more water I drink the better I
    lose. It also helps to fill you up if you drink a glass before each meal so
    that it starts your body on the "YOU ARE FULL" signals earlier, Lee

    Yes, Harold I agree that smoking is much easier to give up (even if it is so hard). After all you
    don't have to smoke to live do you, but food, now that's another ball game all together. Best of
    luck as you get healthy! Vanessa In OZ :-) Overall (Was 273- Current 211- Goal 160)

    | Thanks to all for all of the encouragement and information. It's great to know that the battle
    | does not have to won alone. I joined WW three weeks ago at 334 and was down 17 in the first two
    | weeks. Tomorrow is the third weigh in and my fingers are crossed but I know that I have stuck with
    | the program. I have, however, become quickly aware that when I quit smoking five years ago the
    | task was easy compared to this one. However, I WILL
    WIN
