thanks IAKG ... I'm not a patient person and need to remind myself on a daily basis that it took me about 31 years to get to this weight it's likely not going to come off overnight.

I bought a new water bottle for my desk yesterday and it does the trick for me. I was using just a plain old Dasani bottle and refilling it all the time, but my new container has a big straw and I seem to drink more water this way. Don't ask me why, I just know I had no problem getting down 3 - 16 oz servings today.
