    I did no soda and no candy (which was hard since I had a board meeting with lots of Diet Coke available- but I stuck to water). I was still over calories for the day- BUT I did a 2 mile walk/jog when I got home last night and per my RunKeeper app I burned 230 calories during that, so it made me happy.

    Today I walked to work (0.83 miles) and will walk at lunch then walk home again. Yay me!

    I had no candy or soda yesterday. Although I did find my granddaughters easter basket with her plastic eggs filled with chocolate!:cry: But I didnt have any! :happy: Going to a birthday party tonight. Is cake and ice cream ok?? Hopefully I wont have any, but just to clarify, we are not talking all sweets, just candy, right?

    Day 4 and no soda or candy! I love a diet-coke and almost gave in yesterday. I'm thinking of taking my son to the movies tonight. Does anyone have any suggestions for treats? There is a yogurt place next door and I think they let you bring that in? Also, I'm going to a 2 day event this weekend where there is going to be a CANDY BAR!!!!! And all bad, bad food. When do we weigh in again?

    My Dinner meals really are sucking this pass week. I have got to to just as good as I do for breakfast and lunch. I may have to go to microwave dinners or already prepared meals and beef my caloric intake for lunch. Any suggestions?

    I had some sips of soda today at the zoo. We shared a drink and hubby ordered sprite.

    I'm doing great with the no candy or soda... but am on vacation so there has been a lot of food and margaritas!!! I'm trying not to beat myself up too bad because I REALLY need this vacation (am working over 65 hrs a week for the past month) but I really need to get back on track!

    I think it is easy for all of us to feel that we "slipped up" in one manner or another over the weekend. My food wasn't TOO bad, but I didn't workout either day. So, today I have to start that up again, and that should be interesting since I'm feeling the bloat. Hoping to take care of the water weight by weigh in on Friday!

    Love a water challenge! I just read yesterday that your water intake should be half your weight, but in onces. Example, I weigh 198.2 so my water should be 99 onces a day, about... Makes sense that we don't all need the same amount of water. I think we should shoot for that.

    That said I had some sweets today, but my first ones in a week so that's ok! I also worked them all off already. Time for dinner

    I'm not sure who should decide bu tI say we start Wed as thats when we started last week! I am going to aim for 99 onces a day. I read that you should actually drink half your weight in onces, or 64 once which ever greater so thats what I am gonna do!

    i love the water challenge!! let's start that one... do you all want to do 50% of your weight or 64oz (whichever is greater)?


    Next week the challange will start between Friday & Monday (whenever I have all the weights in) and the winner will make the new challenge! 3 days will weigh in!!

    I am so nervous to weigh in I feel SO bloated ( not TOM either, thank goodness! lol) I love the water challege i need to drink 118oz or so every day for 50% I do 100 most days but some days ( usually days I drink lots of pop, I only get in like 60/70oz. WE CAN DO THIS THOUGH I love having a group to answer too! lmbo.

    I like answering to the group as well, if I fail it's like letting us all down!!

    i agree! the group makes me a little more careful about what i eat! i'm praying for a 3lb loss or more for friday! that'd put me on pace for the 15lbs... ahhhh

    Ugh! I went to the doctor today and I was up 2lbs. Then again, it's TOM so i guess I am actually even? Still, it's frustrating to work so hard and see that.

    Are we already on the water challenge. I was 1 8oz glass short yesterday and that is because i miscalculated. So i have to drink 112 ounces of water a day. That is not the worst thing. water and coffee are the only things i usually drink. sometimes i will add crystal light into my water.

    I drank 84.5 oz of water yesterday! Wow, it took me all day. I know the challenge starts today, but just wanted to get that in , just in case I can't do it again today. I will give it my best try!! And I had to pee all day long! Everyone have a great day.
