WATER Challenge



Recommended Posts

OK guys, its Monday morning. I need to get my butt back into high gear.

No weight loss, feeling slow and sleepy from all the holiday carbs, eating too much and too often.... I need help! So Im getting back to the basic's - Water intake!

I (honestly speaking here) am only drinking about 20 oz's a day - ouch! And I feel it.

So TODAY is the day!!!!

Ive got my two - 20oz AquaFina water bottles full and Im determined to drink each one - 2 times! So thats 80oz's of water, a little more then 1/2 a gallon. This should be enough to get me started in the right direction.

ANYONE else interested in this challenge???

Ive never done a challenge before, so I have no idea on the rules.

I just know that I need help.... YOUR help!!!!!!!

I really need this, too, Paula. I keep trying, but failing to get enough Water in. I think just reporting about progress helps by making us accountable.

I will drink my 2 bottles that have 64 oz. (32 each) and add that to my chai tea (bad stuff!) to get about 80. Thanks for the reminder and incentive!!

Thanks Becky and Betty.

I read Becky's post earlier and just because I knew she was gonna do this with me, Ive already done better! Funny what a little motivation and accountability will do for someone!

I truly believe that Water is the new weight loss secret that no one has truly discovered yet. When I don't drink enough I get all bloated and feel sluggish and gain weight. When I drink at least the 64 oz I feel GREAT and loose weight. Just amazing isn't it?

I join your challenge and will drink at least 40 oz before bedtime tonight. Then tomorrow I will drink the 64 oz then kick it up every day 8 oz.

We can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, Paula, Thanks! I've been so BAD about my water! I'll start this "tomorrow"... I promise! (Too close to bedtime today.) I know that really helps me with my eating. And I've been totally out of control!

I'm in like flint with the Water challenge. I definitely got off the water wagon during the beginning of the holidays and replaced regular water with thunder water (oops). But now that I am challenged I am definitely gonna start drinking my water like I'm suppose to! You know I look to all of you for guidance on the right things! And so far all of you have been a great inspiration.

Amen!!!

I say those of us that CAN, report in everyday, or as often as you are able to. I was told once that it takes a habit two weeks to form... so lets try doing this for at least two weeks - just like the exercise challenge!

BTW, I have to give Michelle credit for giving me the idea of using a 20oz Aquafina bottle and refilling it. It helps ME keep on track of my Water intake. Great idea Michelle, Thanks!

Ryan, if drinking 10 cups helps YOU, Brother, thats fine with us too! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
