    I am going to drink only water this week. I would love for as many people as possible to join in on this challenge and tell me how it went! If you have done this before, or are currently doing it. Please share your experiences with us! I also would love input on other weekly goals that this group can do in pursuit of a healthier life! :wink:

    I will work on this goal as well. I have a hard time getting my water intake in each day so this has been my daily challenge to myself. So beginning today, I will drink only water every day with meals and in between.

    ok, I got to share with you that I thought you meant water ONLY! like a water fast (no food) and I though to myself, :now that is going to be hard!" After reading the comments, I realize that it is a no juice, soda, pop, etc. kind of resolution -- I am in too. I just don;t seem to be able to consistently commit to this weight loss journey - so maybe if I just start with one thing....

    I already do this, with the exception of one hazelnut coffee cocoa thing I have to make once a week to keep my migraines at bay. I don't even add the flavorings bc they are usually way to sour for me. However, I did have some alcohol on Sat/Sun... ok, nothing but water for the next week, and the one coffee, if needed, of course.

    Thanks for this Weekly Challenge Forum, Noelbear...I have been lacking in my water goal of 8 glasses MINIMUM. My body feels it, and I need to be accountable. Also, lately I've been eating fast food, and the only exercise I have gotten has been running after my 27 month grandson...he IS a handful and SOO Adorable...he gives me exercise. I have an 8 month old granddaughter who is become VERY active in her crawling activity...sooo...BUSY...but need sustained exercise. My plan is to walk my granddog (Beautiful White Standard Poodle rescue, whose former owners biked with her...She LOVES to run, doesn't heel well cause she was never taught...but GENTLE with the kids. My daughter decided to take her on...as her Standard Poodle of only 6 years had to be put to sleep from a stomach tumor that grew out of control. I LOVE Zumba, and power walking, but getting little of that because taking care of the grandkids since DD is recuperating from feet surgery yes...both feet...I've had my hands full...but LOVIN' every moment...and savoring my grandkids growing years. I'm taking a cruise to the Bahamas with my Sis. We are celebrating our birthdays. I will be 62 and she will be 60...I am GRATEFULLY still very active in my life!!

    Today: Goal: 2 miles on gym treadmill (30 minutes)
    8 glasses of water (I don't drink soda or juices... I drink coffee and tea without sugar or cream
    NO FAST FOOD (had it twice last week)

    Will report in later today :) ... Ohhh...taking a 3 day out of town trip to Fort Bragg with our Car Club next Friday, Saturday coming home Sunday. I will be dining in restaurants, but I don't consider that fast food. If I go through a fast food place on the drive...it will be SALADS...not burgers and fries that I sometimes crave. My final goal is 110 lbs...my HS weight, When I started MFP back in December 2011...I never thought I wanted to weight under 117... what I thought was my ideal weight back then. MFP made me realize in order to get rid of the body fat I've been carrying for years...YES...I am one of those SKINNY FAT MFP'ers, I then went on a quest to lose fat. As a result, I realized that 110 is a DOABLE, without looking emaciated. LOL. I woke up this morning and weighed in at 114.2. YAY!! I would like to be 110 by the time I go on my cruise on my birthday in December. That's me!! Glad for the group :drinker:

    OK. As soon as I finish this DP I am drinking, it will be my last! I was drinking 4 or 5 a day and then down to one a day and now one every three days. Now we are moving to none. Challenge accepted.

    I'll join on board to drink only water. It's going to be hard to not drink an energy drink once a day...but...I'll try.

    My job sells 32 oz cups downstairs in the cafe...and if I fill that with water once in the morning and once at lunch then I can drink my full 64 oz (8 - 8 oz glasses) just at work.

    Oh gosh! This is going to be hard, especially with how crazy and late my weeks are at work. I brought a Monster with me to work today, so I *am* going to have to have that to stave sleep off on my long shift tonight, but after that I'm in for the just water for one week!! We can do this, good luck to everyone! :glasses:

    OK....So I get up this morning and go sit on my peaceful back porch to read before the little ones get up. All of a sudden I realize I am drinking coffee! How sad is that that I made it and started drinking it without realizing what I was doing! I may have to put my Keurig under the counter somewhere!!!! I don't put sugar in it and I use fat feee
