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!

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.0

I'm In :-)0

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....0

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.0

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: 0 -
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.0

Get 8 hours sleep0

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.0 -
Wait! I just realized this means no coffee also! This will definitely be more of a challenge!0
-
It has been a personal goal of mine to start drinking more water! I don't drink enough. I am definitely in for this challenge. and i agree with Tiacox1 No coffee is definitely going to be a challenge!!! Good luck to all we can do this! 0
-
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:0
-
i already do this but will try to increase my intake0
-
I agree this will be hard, the no coffe thing is going to be the hardest for me, at least Mcdonald is done with it's free coffee give away LOL0

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!

OMG...**T**...I went out to breakfast this morning, and had coffee and water. I was sooo bent on reaching my goal of 8 glasses of water early that when the Challenge ONLY water for a week...my brainwaves interpreted...drink 8 glasses. :blushing: Anyway, from this moment I will not have coffee or tea until next Sunday at this hour (that *will* be difficult because we are going out of town...and I love my coffee. Oh well...It is a habit, and I don't drink it that often to have withdrawals, but until I read your post, I did not realize that we should have NOTHING but water. Thx for your post:flowerforyou: Deb... 0 -
Yea, I have had a cup of coffee every morning since I was TWO so it will be a hard habit to break. I doubt I have withdrawals because it is only one cup a day, two in the weekends, so I should be fine with no withdrawals. Now, when I quit drinking 5-6 20 oz DPs every day.....that I bad headache withdrawals!0

Goals 9/30/12
1) Exercise - 30 minutes - DONE - Walked with Grandbaby of 8 months, and White Standard Poodle Rescue...my new granddog!
2) No processed sugar - DONE
3) Water - 8 glasses - DONE :drinker:0 -
Of my three challenges for a week, 1) drink ONLY water for a week, 2) Exercise 30 minutes 3) No fast food. (My choices), all seem hard to me even for one week. It is AMAZING how habits are hard to break. I love my coffee, and an occasionally soy latte. I *did* have a side effect of no coffee, even thought about quitting the group...yes already. I was grumpy, ... it could have been because I was fasting for a blood test that I didn't take because I was told I could not until the 19th of this month. LOL...my life seemed like a comedy of errors. I *do* feel better. I made a SCRUMPTIOUS salad, in which I cut my forefinger a bit. "It could have been WAY worse, and snapped me back to reality. My VICTORIES are that I ate a salad I prepared instead of going to stop for fast food, and drinking Hot Water instead of drinking coffee in spite of craving it. One of my MFP Pals said something as simple as I was "an inspiration" for my Daily menu YESTERDAY! Wow right on time. We just don't know where the encouragement will come from
