paula 4 Posted December 27, 2004 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!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebeccalee 2 Posted December 27, 2004 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!!

Iluvharleys 15 Posted December 27, 2004 I usually don't have a problem with the Water, but I need to get back on the program too. So, I'll do it along with y'all. Thanks Paula! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paula 4 Posted December 27, 2004 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Penni60 45 Posted December 28, 2004 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Hope 37 Posted December 28, 2004 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gunn4ya 0 Posted December 28, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
