MissLissa

Thanks rosered51!
I think I'm gonna try the flavored water idea to see if it helps me get to a full 8 glasses.

rosered51

You're quite welcome...hey whatever works for you...that's the only way I can...plain water I can taste all the minerals in it and it makes me nauseous...so the flavor packs are a Godsend for me! I cannot believe how much water I can drink now that I have made it a priority!

Good luck going forward! We can do anything we put our minds to!

OK - Water intake..

3 Feb - 4 cups
4 Feb - 5 cups
5 Feb - 7 cups

I need to improve! I drink too much tea instead. I've never heard of these flavour sachets you are talking about adding to water. Our tap water is excellent though, so I have a very easy source of tasty water.

Weigh in tomorrow. I'm hoping for some decent progress downward as I've been working hard.

My oh my do I have so responses to catch up on! You guys were so busy without me all day! That is SOOOOO wonderful! I am so proud!

To everyone who wants to join: YOU ARE ALL ADDED! Start keeping track of that water, we weigh in Friday. You may not notice that much of a change, but hey, weigh in still and then next week, you will be able to chart your progress

Okay now there are going to be a lot of individual posts from me... So here goes!

Jocelyn: Don't worry too much, everyone is allowed a day off or even sometimes a week. As long as you dont fall off and discount yourself, you are fine! Everyone should enjoy special occasions and outings and if you don't you are bound to not enjoy the benefits of getting (and staying) healthy. Do not beat yourself up... still weigh in to gauge your overall progress. Every single one of us will have bad and GREAT weeks! Hang in there lady, we are in it for you too!

Misslissa: You are wonderful!! 1 more glass than yesterday is terrific! WOO HOO For you!! Keep that up and soon, you will be drink 8 glasses without even thinking about it!

Lou: Good job on finding workouts that will keep up your exercise routine but not putting your healing in danger! So sorry you have to go through those surgeries. For the future challenges I will make sure to look up some modified activities so you don't get discouraged. You are doing awesome

To everyone else... You are all doing so wonderful! I really liked how you all reported all of your water intakes in the same posting... It helped me clarify some and make a few changes. maybe on Friday you can all do that again so I have to most correct numbers. I have been keeping track but it defiantely made it easier.

For our new team members: Welcome and jump right into conversations. I find that the more you are involved and keep yourself devoted to the team the more likely you are to keep to your daily goals. One thing I do is keep a daily log of all of my goals in my blog on MFP and as I achieve them, I use strikeout to erase them... to me it is just another way to hold myself accountable. Take a look at my blog if you get the chance!

Tomorrow is weigh in... is everyone ready? I could definately use a little pick-me-up... I think my aunt flo is coming to visit and have felt pretty crappy lately. As some of you know, I had my son 2 months ago via C-Section so aunt flo is back with a vengence! HAHAHA Okay enough TMI! keep up the good work and know that we are all going to achieve our goals... stay with it even when you dont get the results you want because overtime, you will succeed if you have the right mindset!

MissLissa

I admit I'm a bit nervous for weigh in tomorrow. But I'm telling myself that even if I didn't lose anything, I just barely got started and not to give up. I've got a major headache today though, so I don't know if I want to workout or not......that and I have to see the dentist today :grumble: :grumble: I always feel crappy after the dentist.

MissLissa

You're quite welcome...hey whatever works for you...that's the only way I can...plain water I can taste all the minerals in it and it makes me nauseous...so the flavor packs are a Godsend for me! I cannot believe how much water I can drink now that I have made it a priority!

I think I may have the same problem. I wondered if I was drinking the water too much, too fast. But yesterday, I noticed that when I had big drinks of water, I felt a little dizzy & nauseous. I've always had a hard time with plain water, so I'm hoping that the added flavors really help.

rosered51

Do you want to know the best natural remedy for headaches???

Working out! It releases the endorphins in our body, enlarges the blood vessels which makes the pressure (i.e. the headache) go away!

If you can do the workout, I seriously recommend it. I always feel better afterwards even if I have to drag myself kicking and screaming!:laugh:

Don't worry about the loss this week, just ask yourself: Did I I make healthy decisions and choices this week? If the answer is yes, then you are doing a great job in my humble opinion! :blushing:

4th week I lost 2 pounds
5th week.............................is tomorrows weigh in
My start weight was 305
My goal weight is 150

This week is a little different since we technically started on Monday 2/2/09. Our challenges will usually run Saturday-Friday. This week was a little different, actually shorter. I will post the new challenge Friday night so we can prepare for Saturday. FYI, it has to do with the almightly EXERCISE! DUH DUH DAH! :noway: Is that more clear? Let me know if it isn't and I will post it better!

abagwill

Ok First check-in

Today I am 216lb. So 2lb down! Yay!

YIPPEE!!!!:bigsmile: Way to go OS! I will email you the new challenge so you can start working on it because I know you are a day ahead of me! You are a rockstar! Only 6 more pounds til you hit your 4 week goal! you can SO do it!:drinker:

abagwill

To all our new members. WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME! Jump right into the conversations and get that water down... Still weigh in tomorrow to get a start for the upcoming week and to gauge your progress for next week! You are all awesome and congrats on making the choice to better yourself for YOU!

Thought of the evening: Why do you want to lose weight? What are your motivations? Are they for you or for others?

I want to lose weight because I am the heaviest I have ever been (not including pregnancy). I want to get healthy so I can keep up with my son when he starts to run around and I want to make decisions for a better and healthier me. I want being healthy to come natural and not be a hassle. I know it takes time but I am in it for the long haul!

hamilton_mom

Ok....so is water that is flavored included in the count??? Also are waters like Perier included?

If so I get around 104 oz per day (I'm a heavy drinker... ) I also get 3 cups of coffee and possibly 3 glasses of iced tea.

So what counts in the water challenge???

jocelynnbug

It is SO awesome to see so many of you all joining in! I will start an excel spreadsheet to keep track of all of our weight loss and I will keep you updated every week. Our weigh in will be every Friday and our new challenges will start on Saturdays! So here is to this weeks challenge!

Week One challenge: The Water challenge
Try to drink at least 64 fl oz of water. Keep track of your water every day and report it on here. I will keep track and at weeks in, I will let everyone know who our winner was! Water is one of the first key parts to keeping us less hungry. Most of the time, we think we are hungry when in fact we are thirsty! Keep that water handy!

"Most of the time, we think we are hungry when in fact we are thirsty! " This is a fact, I did research on water and it's benefits and this was one of the facts that I found to support drinking water because it helps you cut down on the calories if you test your "hunger" with water...the thirst and hunger signals are close and we sometimes immediately think, I'm hungry but I figured if I've been eating pretty well throughout the day, I might need to drink something instead to take the craving away....so let's Drink! Drink! Drink!

Hey Hamilton_mom: Flavored waters count as long as they are not extra sugary, any type of water counts. No caffeinated beverages such as soda, coffee or tea. Plain water and flavored waters, I would count perrier as well :-)

Tomorrow is weigh in! Even the new members should weigh in and report so that you can gauge your progress for next week. Also, the new challenge for next week will be posted tomorrow night to begin on Saturday! FYI, it has something to do with exercise! remember, step and think out of your box for this one and get creative...

Finally, each week we will get a new challenge BUT i want you to continue to monitor your past challenges (i.e. the water challenge) by yourself. Just because it is ending doesn't mean you should give up on it! If we just did that we would never get anywhere! Remember that!
