    here is something that i got online about our weeks challenge

    Drink at least nine 8-ounce glasses of water a day.

    I consider this a critical step because when you don't drink enough, your body goes into maintenance mode. It starts to think it's stranded on a desert island with only a tiny water supply, so it holds on to whatever moisture is currently in its system. As a result, you begin to bloat. You can see the puff in your face and feel it in your hands and feet. So drink up. If you're bored by the stuff from the tap, then try some sparkling water with lemon or lime. Other drinks (coffee, tea, diet soda and juice) count toward your water balance, but they may contain calories, and that reduces their benefits. Nothing is as effective or as healthy as good old H2O.

    I know I feel better when I drink water. I dont feel so sluggish. Probably because I am getting up to pee every 5 min. Oh the joys of water drinking!

    drinking the water plus making sure we are either meeting/staying within our daily intakes of calories, carbs, fat, etc.?

    Is anyone else having trouble with this, btw? the site tells me to take in about 2000 calories a day, and i figured that would mean cutting way back for me. but actually, i haven't changed much, and i have only had about 1000 calories today!

    I have trouble meeting my calories some days and others I go over. That sounds like a good challenge. The site tells me I have 1,900 calories per day and that too me seems like a lot.

    thats great... make sure ur atleast eating 1200 calories... but 2000 does seem like a lot...

    Well I went in and played with the settings, and changed it to two pounds a week instead of one and that changed my calories from 2200/day to 1700/day! so i'm going to try it this way! otherwise, i feel like i will just be eating all the time like i do anyway! lol.

    i am a sweets lover too! almost anything chocolate and also sweet tea! those are my biggest struggles (foodwise).

    i had a chocolate craving tonight. i made some sugar free fat free jello instant pudding mix, measured out the serving size, and even had a bit of whipped cream all for only 100 calories! it was very satisfying!

    i have the same problem! if i eat something i have to have something sweet or i dont feel right... that jello sounds sooo good... but ive eaten all my calories today... i need to eat alittle later cause when i eat at 5 i get hungry around this time... :[

    That sugar free fat free jello pudding sounds really good. I will have to try that when I get a chocolate craving.

    yeah, make sure it's the chocolate fudge variety! it's a little more decadent than plain ol' chocolate :bigsmile:

    I feel proud of myself. I busted out a workout disc i bought at target forever ago (and never used), and did it! I'm sweaty, tired, and probably stinky, but it's worth it! i hope i can keep up this motivation i have right now!

    and the nearest store is 30 miles away??? wow. i live in a small town but we at least have two little stores! but anything else we have to go at least 20-30 miles.

    Welcome insaneness!
