My name is Amanda - I have been reading posts on the forum for a month or so, but have not been brave enough to post.

I was thrilled to find the forum and read about people who are having experiences similar to mine.

I have a question. I read once that you should drink one liter of water per fifty pounds you weigh. Has anyone else heard this? That's a heck of a lot of water, at least for me.

Anyway, glad to be here and on the road to a thinner, healthier me.
