I think our first weekly challenge should be getting in the recommended amount of water daily. I know I'm bad about this one, but I find when I have a challenge I want to do it more! And remember it's not really just 8 glasses of water a day, but drinks like tea and coffee count too (as long as they don't have sugar added to them!).

Taking in the recommended amount of fluids daily is important to continued weight loss, and it helps your body to not retain too much water! It doesn't have to hang onto extra if it knows you're going to give it what it needs! This is all easy to say (or type rather), but for me much harder to put into practice!!

Good luck Mommies!

I like this idea! I struggle with the water also and can BARELY make 8 most days. But, I never counted tea or coffee. I put Splenda in it though so would it still count or no?

Personally, I would still count it because it's not real sugar, but you should also be aware of your intake of artificial sweeteners. Just because it's not real sugar doesn't mean you can have as much as you want. I just don't count things like sports drinks, soft drinks, juices, even lemonade (mainly because I never have these drinks but because they are filled with sugar even the fake kind.

Looks great Miami!
I actually gained 1.5 lbs the final week - a total loss of 2 lbs! I go in for my first ultrasound on 7/14 - keeping my fingers crossed for a healthy baby and heartbeat!
I would still LOVE to be a part of the Labor Day Challenge, my goal will be to at least maintain. I find myself slipping up from time to time - using the ole' I'm pregnant attitude! I need all of your help to stay motivated and healthy!

Please count me IN!!!!
