    I'll commit to 72 oz. of water, and I'll shoot for 3 servings of veggies too. It's a rare day when I get that many veggies.

    To stay under my calorie limit, with or without the aid of exercise to achieve that.

    I am thinking I should have said 2 veggies/1 fruit - but that's cheating I had a banana already! :wink:

    Ok I'm here with ya chrissyh!!

    Water is not a problem for me. I probably have at least 80 oz a day. But veggies is my worst!!! I will commit to at least 1 serving of veggies every day.

    16.9 OZ WATER DONE.
    I think for lunch it will be a turkey sub and some hummus and pretzels (does hummus count as a veggie)

    yummm.... hummus!! Not sure if that's a veggie but I was upset cause my grocery store was out of that. I'm gonna squeeze in some veggies for dinner.

    I had lettuce, black olives, pickles and a few banana peppers on my sammie. I am thinking that is only one because there were not a ton on the sammie

    Just finished my serving of veggies with dinner. So today I've had about 90 oz of water, 2 fruit, 1 veggie serving. That's pretty good for me.

    Cutting up veggies for tomorrow now!

    I did o.k. today. Got my full 72 oz. of water, as I thought I would. And I came pretty close to 3 servings of veggies. A good goal to shoot for everyday! Fruits are easy for me to get, but veggies are more of a challenge. Thanks for starting this challenge!!:flowerforyou:

    I use 250ml = 8oz or 1 cup. (it's 237ml for 8oz)
    500 ml = 16 oz.
    So 4L = 128oz or 16 cups

    Off to good start 24 oz done so far 8:15am.

    Smadag1, no excuses. Drink that water.

    Where's Miss Chrissy today? Get your water in yesterday? Get at it again today.

    Fresh baby carrots are soooo good with hummus. Definately competes with chips or pretzels sometimes ... :-)

    I am not 100% sure of my water intake but I know I was close - I forgot to count it after my run.

    Had 3 servings each of fruits and veggies yesterday!

    I am in again today.
