    Here is the link to the google doc. If I missed anything, or messed something up, please let me know and I'll fix it. I'm still missing weights from some people, send them on in ladies!

    I read in a self magazine that if you want to lose weight you should be at 1600 so that you get all your nutrients, 2000 to maintain. So, I do agree with the 1600 and have lost weight when I set it there before.

    Other ways I sneak in water are: lemon water, hot lemon water (natural diuretic), iced tea, soda water with lime and a splash of pom - or - cranberry (add vodka when necessary) & iced green tea. I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners; but, a lot of people do the crystal light.

    MFP has me set right around 1600, I think @ 1630. I'm trying to eat right around 1400, but I don't think it's not the end of the world if I go over or under a bit.

    I'm open to all ideas on challenges!! So help me out ladies!

    For right now let's start a week-long challenge. Starting tomorrow until next Tuesday. Let's add 50 push ups a day to our routine, even if you already do push ups as part of your routine! They can be "real" pushups, modified push ups, push ups against the wall, or whatever is best for you (as long as you're pushing yourself a little!) You can do them all at once, or split them up. I'll be doing mine throughout the day, probably 10, 5 times a day. Myself and my body hate push ups, so that works for me! LOL

    Also, let's get in at least 8 glasses of water every day!

    try to get your 8 glasses in by noon; this is what i try to do; i personally despise water, but when i attempt to get it out the way early, even if i dont hit 8 im damn near close and i have the rest of the day to complete! i have been stuck in the same weight catergory for two months now! im ready to break this plateau!! i think im going back to the basics and just eating 1300 calories...i have upped them, ate exercise calories, and zig zagged and nothing has worked!! ugh!! im in it to win it though so here we go!

    LOVE this challenge! Hoping I can get them in! I'm not great at them, but I've been working on it. I'm thinking the 10 5times a day plan sounds doable! Good luck, Ladies!! (we don't have any men here, right?! If we do, SORRY!!!) :-)
