Who we are and why we are here:

'He' started out at 450 lbs. 'She' started out at 300 lbs (although had been as high as 330 lbs at one point). Between them they've lost weight, gained weight, and learned a lot along the way.

What you'll find here are our educated thoughts, opinions, and tips for a healthier lifestyle. 'He' minored in psychology, 'she' majored in history - two research heavy fields that have made them both skeptical and able to weed through the sludge in order to find gems. Neither of us is perfect by any means, but as much as possible, we will try not to lead you astray with unfounded, sensational, or fad information.

We are intentionally avoiding fad diets, expensive meal plans, and other extreme (expensive!) weight loss plans.

Water contest.

We all have trouble drinking enough water.  Soda, water with crystal light packets, gatorade, yes, but clean water to flush out the system efficiently?  No.  It's not just me.  Jane complains about a cramp or an ailment and half the time I say "drink more water" because half the time the symptoms she describes sound like dehydration.  Scott has been doing better since his kidney stone, but he's starting to drink tons of soda again.  Me, I just don't drink anything.  I forget.

Well, Monday, Jane asked (out of the blue) if we could have a water drinking contest for the day.  I brought Scott into it and suggested we each count our ounces each day.  At the end of the day, a winner would be noted and at the end of the week, the one who won the most days would get to pick the family movie.  Wow... water consumption!  It's been much better.  Why didn't we think of this sooner?
