    How much water?

    154 ounces of water today, or 4.6 liters.

    If you eat a healthy diet, about 20 percent of your water may come from the foods you eat. If you eat a healthy diet you can drink 123.2 ounces of water today, or 3.7 liters.


    That is a lot of water. I was having a hard enough time trying to drink 8 glasses a day. Water down Wednesday sounds good to me.

    Hello to all and especially to team #2

    My name is Gretchen, I am a 38 yr old wife and mom of 3,ages 14, 13, and 7. I work full time as an LPN in a nursing home and am about to start beck to school to get my RN.

    Growing up I was of a slender build. I developed a bad relationship with food and exercise....I ate what I wanted, and never really worked out...I was able to get away with it....even after the birth of my 1st 2 children I bounced back to pre pregnancy weight with very little difficulty.

    About 10 years ago, though, things started changing....I slowly started to put on weight. And then when I got pregnant and had my daughter, I couldnt drop the weight....

    My goal is to lose 50 lbs, hopefully by November, when I attend my cousin's wedding.

    My immediate goal is to lose 15 lbs by the end of August, when I celebrate my 15 yr anniersary


    according to my weight watchers scale my % body fat is 30....eeeeks

    I just got my hubby to weigh himself... just realised that my target is to weight what he weighs now by 2012! Thing is he's 6ft 6, and I'm only 5ft 6 so I wont have the same figure as him! lol

    Be careful what you wish for, this heat is just oppresive. You can't do anything outside and you certainly can't take the kiddos out.

    Busy night tonight. Going to go donate blood after work. I read on mfp that donating blood burns 650 calories. Bonus! I know I can't count them, but it'd be great if I could. :smile: Then subway for dinner and home to can pickles. Don't forget tomorrows challenge Watered Down Wednesdays!

    Hey!!!!

    My name is Sam (Samantha). I am 40, with 2 boys (11 & 7).
    I am also, a daily weigher (on the scale every day)!!!! I do have a gym membership; but I don't always have time to use it! (Prefer to work out in the morning).
    Always had an issue with the weight though! My height is 5' 9", and this morning, I clocked in at 212.6lbs (Will do the measurements in the morning).

    My goal weight is 160lbs (maybe 30% BF) (I have been down to 140lbs, and was told, that I looked ill).

    I think my problem is, not eating enough for me! (So I am working on that)!

    So... 124 ounces of water, eh? I thought I was doing well when I got in 64. Guess I'll need to make sure I have some fresh straws for tomorrow!
