    OK, my body fat percentage is not as bad as I thought 36.8%, still way too much!

    I'm glad you suggested it Marti.

    Now I am done with tomorrows challenge too!

    2 and 3 are completed already. Using the website my bf% is 40%. My New Year goal is 200 lbs, my ultimoate goal is 170. I keep changing it, but I think that is a good weight for me.

    Better late than never. I'm on team 3 (xbabigrl72) my name is Jennifer. I'm a 21 year old mother of one; a very energetic 2 year old. I currently weight between 250 and 246. I keep playing with the same couple pounds and enough is enough already. I gain this weight mainly from being lazy after having my daughter and now I wish I wasn't so lazy. You have no idea how happy I would be to lose 50 pounds. I'd love to get to know all my team mates.

    I have an idea for tomorrows challenge. How about Watered Down Wednesdays? Lets see how much water we can down. I found a site that you can do a quiz to find out how much water you should drink. It is:

    I'm not going to track this or anything, but it is just for information reasons.

    Do you all like this idea?

    With the extreme heat here I would say a Watered Down Wednesday is a great idea.

    Holy Cow! I just took the quiz and am amazed by how much water it tells me I need. I thought i have been doing good with my 64 ounces a day but it looks like I should really be doubling that amount!

    I know. I always heard that you should drink half an ounce for every pound you weigh. My amount from this website was pretty close to that.
