start working out. o and you don't "burn off" water. If you drink a pound, you gain a pound. but it is better than soda.

In the past I have used ephedra. I know its not sold in the US anymore but it works and is safe if you use it the correct way. A lot of people will dissagree but hey, it works and FAST!

You're off to a good start since you are already eating healthy. Just remember tons of veggies and lean protein. Your next step is getting in some cardio and weight training. Do some running, walking, jump rope or a workout class/dvd. Try to build some muscle then you'll be able to burn off more fat which then will help you lose more weight. Plus you'll look better. Remember nothing tastes as good as THIN feels!
