Water Bomb

wheird

WATER BOMB!!!!! I challenge you to drink only water today, NOTHING ELSE, except Shakeology, YOUR goal is to drink 10+ 8oz glasses of Water by days end!!!! Little water fact, cold water first thing in the morning wakes up your metabolism, and Cold water before bed keeps your Metabolism working a little longer!!!! HAPPY DRINKING!!!!!!

Seriously?! Wtf lol.

A few questions here.

1. Why on earth would someone want to drink ONLY water all day and not consume anything else, except Shakeology?
2. What makes Shakeology so special that it is included in this? Yes, I'm aware of what Shakeology is.
3. Why are you spreading misinformation about cold water waking up your metabolism and keeping it going longer? Do you even physiology?

Hey, how's the weather? Shakeology. It has been snowing for quite a few days here. Shakeology. I am loving it, it made the holidays so much better. Shakeology. I still have my Christmas tree up, the Shakeology bag i got as a gift still under it. PM me if you'd like to talk about the weather some more.

I really don't post very much, but this made me giggle

This may be the dumbest challenge I have heard...




...at least since the cinnamon challenge.






ETA:

Hmmmm . . . I interpreted the challenge as consuming only water (and/or Shakeology) -- i.e., mini-fast except for the oh so valuable product. I prefer to eat food each day. Maybe OP can clarify?

I read it this way as well.

Shhhhhhh...it's subliminal.

...Is it weird that 10+ 8-oz glasses is normal for me in a day? O_O It's almost all I drink...even my tea is all hot water. However, I did start my morning with espresso + unsweetened almond milk because it was too cold to not have a hot espresso drink. Also, for some reason, water is the least appealing thing to me when I just wake up.

Shakeology?
Is that like "snake oil-ogy"?



Let's all cleanse!

I do IF, so I've done 24 hour fasts on pure water many times. But I had to build up to that from 12 hours, to 16, to 20 and so on. Good luck peeps.

Good grief. I interpreted it as "hey guys, make a conscious effort to drink only water today (instead of beer, soda, fruit 'juice', Starbucks, whatever might be the norm)." So she mentioned Shakeology, maybe that's her thing, and maybe she's specifically trying to connect with a community that uses Shakeology or whatever. I've heard of it before but I don't know exactly what the deal is, but because she mentioned it in passing I don't feel suddenly inclined to throw myself at them in the hopes that they'll make me skinny. I don't get why folks are so darned quick to put down other people! All I've seen in the forums is negativity and it's so stupid. If we're all working towards a common goal, why do so many of you guys so gleefully start trolling threads or insulting people?

My boyfriend used to drink anywhere between 4-6 sodas in one day! Not good. I used to drink around 3-4 cups of coffee a day, also not good for me, personally. This challenge would be great for people like we used to be. I thought this thread was a nice reminder for me, now, because while I don't drink tons of soda, alcohol, etc., I still don't drink nearly enough water (maaaybe a cup and a half a day).

Thanks for the gentle reminder, OP, sorry folks are taking advantage of a (weak) opportunity to tear somebody else down.

Also, I didn't hear anything about fasting... I didn't read "only consume water" I read "only drink water" - as opposed to drinking some of the other options I listed above.

I give you 6 months. 6 months and you will be able to spot a Shakeology ad or Beach Body Coach a mile away. You're cute though. I really mean that.

She's been on MFP since 2011. I'm guessing that she's figured out how things work around here. I've only been here since August & I get that the site isn't exactly "pro-product"

I'm sure that there's a user group of folks who would be a better audience.

Shakeology is a meal replacement that you drink in the form of a shake. It is great at curbing appetite and helping to reduce cravings. I drink mine for breakfast.

you know what else is good at curbing appetite? eating proper, solid food.

Here since 2011, yet doesn't see a problem with someone pushing a product against forum guidelines?

You don't, by chance, answer to "coach", do you?

ETA: OP, you misspelled "Sake Bomb" in your title. That would be a challenge I could get a hold of. Nothing but Sake Bombs and sushi all day.

Give it time, you'll soon learn that any mention of a BeachBody products will result in hoards of coaches and true believers descending on the post like locusts to tell everyone about how AMAZING it is and how it's a GAME CHANGER and oh, by the way, wonder of wonders, they have a challenge group starting soon!

If she wants to connect to a community that uses Shakeology, she can go over to the BeachBody website and use their forums.

I challenge you to eat only celery today! No other food...except pizza.

THIS!!

I'm all for water. No soda for this whole month, maybe a little coffee in the morning, but that's it. I can do it.

I am shocked and dissapointed by all of the negativity on this thread! Didn't your mothers ever tell you what to do if you don't have anything nice to say? This young lady is obviously trying to muster engagement from the MFP community, many of whom , may be embarking on a NEW RESOLUTION for health and fitness and could probably stand to drink more water!

If you don't agree with Shakeology, great! Neither do I! But don't be a jerk about it and discourage others from using it if it works for them.

As for the challenge... already completed. I'm at 15, 8-ounce glasses for the day so far! I try to drink 1 ounce per pound of body weight daily. To help me do this, I refill a 3 liter (101 ounces) bottle every morning and keep it right on my desk at work. I try to finish the bottle before going home!

So why not just encourage people to drink more water without including the stupid Shakeology caveat? If she wants to spend her money on that because she thinks it's going to do something for her, fine, but it's not necessary for someone to be successful at losing weight. Most of the MFP community is wishing someone would just double tap the Shakeology Ads zombie so we don't have to keep seeing its entrails dragging all over.

Couldn't agree more! But I'm not the author of the original post nor do I have the power to change it. I was more concerned the the people attacking her for using/promoting shakeology rather than explaining why they disagree with it.
