I am a slow loser and it's frustrating me to no end. My doc says I should focus on 64oz of Water per day and 60-90g of Protein. Any tips on how to get all my water and protein in daily? I will be 8 weeks on Monday. :-(

9 months to get to 135 then it took 6 months to get the 6 lbs off. I'm hoping for 5 more pounds before I totally level off.
