Rosehip Mar 2021 2:58pm, 23 Mar 2021 20,337 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip I agree you have to drink an awful lot to overhydrate, as your body is very efficient at getting rid of the water it doesn't need - but any fluid counts, tap water can be made drinkable with a squeeze of lemon juice - but I'd still rather have a cup of tea - except at mealtimes when I don't want to chelate the iron and other minerals mysportscience.com

azx Mar 2021 3:56pm, 23 Mar 2021 202 posts	Quote Pin azx A common theme I read is to drink a glass or two of water before eating as it's supposed to supress your appetite or make you feel full sooner.

Rosehip Mar 2021 4:17pm, 23 Mar 2021 20,339 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip yes azx - that sould help - in the same way as having soup for a starter helps cut the rest of the meal size down
azx Mar 2021 4:26pm, 23 Mar 2021 203 posts	Quote Pin azx WP: not sure what you mean log exercise with withings? Do you want to do press-ups on it? MFP can connect to withings and withings updates your weight and BF% on there. MFP will send that to garmin connect if you've connected MFP and garmin. Before MFP, I used a script that updates garmin connect with withings data. Also, withings can connect to trendweight and loads of other sites.
WtnMel Mar 2021 5:02pm, 23 Mar 2021 2,094 posts	Quote Pin WtnMel Reading about drinking water I'm with Rosehip about not understanding how it can aid weight loss (not read any articles so its ignorance on my part rather than disagreeing with the concept). And like Hanneke, I've always understood and used the rule of thumb that if your urine isn't colourless (or close to), you probably aren't drinking enough. Speaking of which .. after lunch I decided it was time to mow our lawns. It was warmer than expected and I've worked up a thirst so am now sat in front of the 'puter with a cup of tea. Need my caffeine intake first but have my bottle of water on standby!

It just had food frommfp on scale app but did not take exercise off be easier if it did. It did say link to ~~strava~~ but I then realised it was for a withing watch and not scales. 🙄
