Let's focus on one healthy habit at a time. Just for one week.

Week 1: Drink more water. Let's commit to drinking 6-8 eight-ounce cups of water each day this week.

Feel free to tell something about yourself or just say hi. I'm new at this "creating challenges" thing, so feel free to give ideas for habits to change or if you have anything to add

    Hi this seems like a perfect challenge to take on one thing at a time every week is very doable.

    Thanks Brandy for starting this. I can't believe how much effort it took to get my water in today! Wouldn't have made it without this week's challenge LOL!
    I'm Retha, from WNC, married nearly 38 years, no pets, 2 DDs and 3 DGDs. I'm retired from the US Air Force and the

    post office. I love living history events and do late 1700s and 1812 reenactments. I need to lose 60+ lbs so am in this forever. I heard of MFP from some ex-WW friends and it's working really well for me

    Kath, glad you're here!

    I'd love to have a weekly challenge! I don't think I ever have issues getting water in. I'll count to be sure tho.

    I'm Melanie from NC. I am a wife of 14 yrs and mom to 3 beautiful girls (I'm biased just a little;) ). I work as a CNA for a wonderful retirement community and mostly care for residents getting rehab. It makes you thankful for the little things.

    Hi challengers, got my water in by noon so no problem today with that. Can't say the same about fruits and veggies, though :).

    Thanks for doing this, Brandy. I am Beth from MA, primary care physician. After losing more than 70 lbs, I have regained about 25 due to work stress, and now am struggling to get back in the "zone." Hopefully this "one week at a time" approach will help.

    I count all fluids towards my "6-8 glasses of water a day" requirement. So far this week, I have had at least 6, but only once had 8, 8-oz glasses.

    Better late than never....I'm here with this group to improve my motivation for weight loss. I'm the best YOYO dieter around.
    I hope I can stick with it this time and really keep it off once it is gone. I have a really hard time with going out to eat lunch during the week then the eating out on the weekends. So I know I have to make some changes all the way around for this to work. Cindy

    I've definitely gotten in my waters! If I wasn't sipping on water or caring for my residents I was in the bathroom!!!

    Melanie, that's how I feel too! Drinking water all day and going to the bathroom frequently!

    Beth and Cindy, thanks for joining!

    We can't change everything at once (and stick with it!), but we can focus on one thing at a time and hopefully this challenge will help with that. Hopefully this group will provide support for all of us, self included!

    So far so good this week with drinking water. I keep a water bottle filled at all times and when it gets empty I just refill it.
