Ok we are going to start off simple, lets make sure we are getting enough water! To find the minimum amount of water you should be drinking calculate your weight time 2/3 (or .67 for the math challenged like me lol)
So, for me this would be 216 x .67 = 144.72 so 145oz a day...... Thats a lot of water lol
Please post with your total!
Part two of this weeks challenge is going to be the 1000 crunch challenge......the goal in to complete 1000 crunches by the end of the week!
I know it seems like a lot but that's why its a challenge
Hope you all have a fab & fit week

Thanks so much posting!! I love challenges to get me going.
I had thought my water was fine at 8 glasses/day....nope! I rounded mine up to 13 glasses!
Stacy...yours is 18?!!! You are going to be peeing nonstop!! Lol. I bet we end up eating less bc of all this water in our bellies!
It all sounds great, and I enthusiastically accept! The crunches are about 143/ day!
Thanks again and good luck everyone!0 -
Ok .. Mine comes out to 12.8 so I'm rounding to 13 .. I thought I drank enough but I will definitely try the 13. I'm so excited to do this challenge and just wanted to thank you for taking time out to put it together.0

I have 17 wow, that should be a ton of fun! haha. Looking forward to the crunches challenge, is that due a week from today, or on Friday?0
-
The crunch challenge is due by Sunday night :happy:0
-
That comes out to 13 cups of water for me! I better get started...0

Okay cool!0

Curious as to where you came up with that formula for water. According to the Mayo Clinic women, on average, should try to consume about 9 glasses of water. Check out this article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/water/NU002830
-
Yes the mayo clinic says for "any average, healthy adult" which for women means someone around 120-130 pounds which would by the calculation that I used would fall in with what they said "The AI for women is 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day."

I am totally on board with your challenge...One more question: Are we counting just water or all beverages? For instance, I tend to drink green tea and herbal tea while at work and water before and after workouts... I would agree that coffee and soda should not count, but healthy juices and other drinks. What do you think?0 -
Yes you can include any drink that is mainly water :happy:0
-
Wow thats a lot of water but I will try to drink 13 8 oz cups a day, as of yesterday I think I drank 5? I know that not enough but that was water only, so if I add my coffee and tea it would be like 8. So I think that I can do it.
And I am excited about the crunches challenge will be a challenge but I am ready:)0 -
I drink nearly 2 gallons. Every day. I have a 34oz water bottle that I keep with me all the time, always full, and I focus on drinking as much as I can. I <3333 water.0
-
I need 12 glasses a day, and that's about right on with my intake.
I will crunch, crunch, crunch.

I have a 32oz bottle of water with me at all times too. I try to fill it up and drink it at least 3x a day. I live in the DC area so traffic here is horrible. I always find myself stuck in traffic and desperately needing to pee!
1000 crunches? Yikes!0 -

Just joined the group! Was reading through some of the posts......holy water! Uggg....I am getting in about 6 glasses per day and already think I pee alot! I will have to work on that. As far as the crunches.....ummmmm, yeah. I have 3 young ones at home....6,3 & 18 mo. I work full time, until 4:00 - get home around 4:30 - chat briefly w/mother in law (she watches the kiddos during the day) and then I have to start making dinner. Then we eat, then dishes and cleaning up....then it's showers/baths, pj's and pick up the house time. By that time - my 18mo is ready for his cuddle time......once I sit and cuddle....I have a hard time getting up again! And it's late. I go to bed by at least 9....cuz I have to get up early. When do you guys find the time to exercise????? Oh, and my husband works a really messed up schedule so he doesn't even get home till after 8 at night, so - no help there!0
-
So far I've done 650 crunches out of the 1000, but today I am taking a day off. I feel like I'm coming down with a cold (could be that I am, or it could just be PMS. Not sure.) and I want to be well for my trip to Bend on Monday so I'm resting.0

If you are in the SkinnyO Biggest Loser Challenge please remember to post your starting weight on there and message it to me for the spreadsheet0
-
So far for the challenge I have done 675 crunches! Ouch!0
-
Ended up doing another 150 last night anyway, bringing my total up to 800 for the week for crunches! Doing another 150 tonight, and going to shoot for ANOTHER 150 tomorrow just because I think it would be awesome to say I did MORE than 1000 crunches in one week. Because I'm weird like that. lol0
