    Good grief. I interpreted it as "hey guys, make a conscious effort to drink only water today (instead of beer, soda, fruit 'juice', Starbucks, whatever might be the norm)." So she mentioned Shakeology, maybe that's her thing, and maybe she's specifically trying to connect with a community that uses Shakeology or whatever. I've heard of it before but I don't know exactly what the deal is, but because she mentioned it in passing I don't feel suddenly inclined to throw myself at them in the hopes that they'll make me skinny. I don't get why folks are so darned quick to put down other people! All I've seen in the forums is negativity and it's so stupid. If we're all working towards a common goal, why do so many of you guys so gleefully start trolling threads or insulting people?

    My boyfriend used to drink anywhere between 4-6 sodas in one day! Not good. I used to drink around 3-4 cups of coffee a day, also not good for me, personally. This challenge would be great for people like we used to be. I thought this thread was a nice reminder for me, now, because while I don't drink tons of soda, alcohol, etc., I still don't drink nearly enough water (maaaybe a cup and a half a day).

    Thanks for the gentle reminder, OP, sorry folks are taking advantage of a (weak) opportunity to tear somebody else down.


    Here since 2011, yet doesn't see a problem with someone pushing a product against forum guidelines?

    You don't, by chance, answer to "coach", do you?

    ETA: OP, you misspelled "Sake Bomb" in your title. That would be a challenge I could get a hold of. Nothing but Sake Bombs and sushi all day.

    I am shocked and dissapointed by all of the negativity on this thread! Didn't your mothers ever tell you what to do if you don't have anything nice to say? This young lady is obviously trying to muster engagement from the MFP community, many of whom , may be embarking on a NEW RESOLUTION for health and fitness and could probably stand to drink more water!

    If you don't agree with Shakeology, great! Neither do I! But don't be a jerk about it and discourage others from using it if it works for them.

    As for the challenge... already completed. I'm at 15, 8-ounce glasses for the day so far! I try to drink 1 ounce per pound of body weight daily. To help me do this, I refill a 3 liter (101 ounces) bottle every morning and keep it right on my desk at work. I try to finish the bottle before going home!

    So why not just encourage people to drink more water without including the stupid Shakeology caveat? If she wants to spend her money on that because she thinks it's going to do something for her, fine, but it's not necessary for someone to be successful at losing weight. Most of the MFP community is wishing someone would just double tap the Shakeology Ads zombie so we don't have to keep seeing its entrails dragging all over.

    Couldn't agree more! But I'm not the author of the original post nor do I have the power to change it. I was more concerned the the people attacking her for using/promoting shakeology rather than explaining why they disagree with it.

    white knight gonna white knight no matter what . . .
