Hi everyone going to do the dreaded weekly weight ins as well as water intact in this one challenge so the idea is post pictures or share how many you have taken in a day and then on the weekly weigh in days (pictures ideal not needed) we can see who have lost most that week and list them as our biggest loser that week (nicest possible way of calling someone a loser) good job we all looking to lose some would take offence lol so let's get started this Monday coming for 4 weeks who's in???? Water intake is to drink at least 500ml water every day but ideally aim for 4 bottles of 500ml water :)
I of course am and will posting my starting weight Monday hope everyone else joins me it's fun challenge xx

    Why 500 ml a day? Or 4 bottles of 500 ml water? That would be deadly.

    I drink about 5 bottles of 16.9 ml water in a day. That comes out to be about 84.5 ml water in a day.

    If I drank 500 ml of water in a day, that would be almost 30 bottles of my 16.9 ml containers.

    You're asking people to drink 500 x 4 = 2000 ml in a day?

    You mean well, but what you're asking could be dangerous or deadly.

    Ok my thought process were we are recommended by the NHS to have 2 litres of water a day= 8 glasses water they say!

    So my sports bottle holds 500ml which is 2 glasses of water 250ml, so I figure late at night in my attempt to encourage myself to have more water I need to have the 8 glasses of water a day that would mean 4 of my bottles a day so wasn't meant to be a post to be deadly drinking water it were a post to drink more water as we lose so much.

    Maybe my glasses should only be about 200ml and not 250ml then I might of worked it out better to be around 2-3 rather than 4 but this is a challenge for just 7 days people will drink what they need and want it wasn't meant to be a deadly post just my simple maths late at night told me:- 500ml is 2 glasses I need 8 glasses a day recommended so i needed to have more bottles of 500ml to get the glasses I needed a day.....

    Problem solved :smile:

    So anyone doing the challenge this money with the weekly weight ins want to change it in light of the info given that's fine by me I honestly wasn't trying to kill anyone so how many bottles shall we all do fitness pals??? X

    Actually you are right @zlouise8 your measurements are correct... I think @RedSierra got the measurement wrong and it's probably a 16.9 ONCE bottle cause 16.9ml isn't even a full cup... good luck with the challenge tho. I would join in but I hate pictures lol

    May have been done by a/the person who mistook ounces for mL. No judgment, or pointing fingers, just a guess.

    More along the lines of someone thinking the challenge itself was abusive/harmful if promoting 2000 OUNCES of water consumption daily. Again, just a guess.

    Don't sweat it. =)

    Carry on! <3

    I need this challenge, I don't drink nearly enough water and I live in a desert climate. Sometimes all I have until I get home from work at 5:30 is one travel mug of tea. I'm doing well on food, but I'm tired a lot and I think more water would really help me. I don't even log my water but I'll start!

    Joining! Because I need around 2L or more water each day anyway (medical reasons) but sometimes I'm too lazy to drink. I have a 1L bottle with me everyday and I just tell myself I need to finish 2 of those, which makes it seem easier. Good luck, everyone! :)
