hi everybody, i had a question about the milk and water intake for each week, i know i'm supposed to get 6 servings of water each day, and theres a space to check each serving off...but how much exactly is a serving? and the same goes with the milk, when you drink just plain milk, you minus the points as well as check it off for the milk servings for a day....correct? i'm just a little confused and new at this as well so anything would help! thanks so much!

A serving is 8 oz (1 cup) water/milk.

You would deduct the points for the milk servings from your Target. You can also use yogurt as a calcium. There's a list in your Week 1 booklet.

Good luck as you begin your weight loss journey!

You can use many things for the DAIRY requirement. If you don't have a week 1 booklet let me know and I'll post the list.

i do have a booklet, but thank you anyway!

kelly s. would you be so kind as to post that list? i recently moved to another country. and am slowly going thru everything i was able to ship. so as of this posting i am doing the program thru memory and the boards, not to mention a wing and a prayer ~sheepish grin~

sincerely an over-whelmed-over-weight-over-due,
