first, In the holistic reading I have done, they said you should drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water a day. So, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should drink 75 ounces of water a day.

2nd. Does anyone else worry that if they lose all their weight, they will end up with pounds of excess skin that can only be removed with surgery? Am I the only one who is confident of needing breast reconstruction if I ever do reach my goal weight? I'm STILL a 40DDD (40E) even though I've lost a lot of weight and they do hang low.

Hey Sarah..you have touched a subject of much debate on this board...the excess skin debate...DUMMMDUMMMDUMMMM
i'm hoping i don't have saggy skin but if i do it will just give me motivation to keep working on it.
As for the saggy breast i know a few people who had lifts/implants after kids.

Good evening Sarah!
As for saggy skin, how much sagging you'll experience depends on your age, whether you've had children, and, most importantly, how fast you lose weight. I haven't noticed any sagging, and I'm honestly not worried about it. I'm only 23, and I'm losing maybe 2 pounds a week. My breasts aren't shrinking as fast as the rest of me though...but they're surprisingly perky for their size.

Sarah...from everything I've read, 2 factors play more than anything else into the saggy skin problem...the rate at which you lose, and more importantly, age.
