    I think I forgot to logg in last week. I was out of it getting adjusted to my new job. I gained weight and hate admitting it.

    324 lbs

    peeked at the scale and I'm down 2 lbs already :bigsmile:
    I'm challenging myself to 21 days of clean eating with no off meals or alcohol and workouts everyday, its working! can't wait to see how the weigh in goes on sunday. I think this week the gold team is gonna kill it!!!

    Palo, your "clean eating" promise is really motivating. I'm going to do the same.

    thanks for the guys who commented about the clean eating.

    looking over the recent posts, how about we have a clean eating challenge till the weigh in on sunday?
    I've also found drinking half your bodyweight in water really helps too! this week I have been drinking an ounce per pound in water and I see pounds dropping daily.

    I'll take you up on the water challenge. Don't know if I'll get a full 27 cups of water in a day, but I'm approaching 20. I'm increasing my salt intake a tad to keep my electrolites balanced. As for the clean eating I don't have a choice. There's nothing that comes in a box that I can eat and I can't eat refined sugar either.

    Does drinking that much water really help? Do you know why?

    Yeah, I eat a lot of potassium already, I was super low about a year ago due to my celiacs so I've made a conscious effort to have a high potassium diet. Sodium was my low one. I also know the signs for overhydration and watch them like a hawk. Haven't had a problem yet, and I feel a lot better since increasing my water so much.

    I started drinking that much after reading an article in "off the couch" magazine about a year or two ago. I don't always do it, but it seems the weeks that I do it, I drop more weight than normal. It's easier to do it over the summer months also as its hot as hades here in texas.. I wish I could give more insight on this...any takers?

    Did this thread actually die off? No challenges or spreadsheets for the week? Just curious?

    I'm hoping the leaders of this thread didn't disappear. I'm having a lot of fun with this challenge.

    As to the water, a recent study showed an increase in metabolic rate when drinking lots of water. http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20040105/drinking-water-may-speed-weight-loss

    Thought that was pretty cool and I've noticed an increase in my weight loss as well.

    Hello Bigger summer challengers!
    I'm very sorry about the lack of challenges this week.
    Next week, we will have challenges. I've been very busy, and i apologize.
    My mother is very ill, and I'm waiting to see if I need to go see her.
    I don't have the spreadsheet, because the other leader of this thread has it. So I'll ask her and get back to you.
    I apologize again for the inconvinienceof my situation.
    keep kicking butt!

    I hope the other leader checks in soon. It would be nice to see how everyone did last week and who the leaders are. I'm really looking forward to this weigh in. This past week was incredible.

    Challenge start weight: 197.8
    6/5: 197.8
    6/12 195.6
    6/19 196.0 (+0.4) Not bad, considering I spent the week at DisneyWorld with my four teenagers. I think it's mostly water retention, since I had a hard time drinking enough water. I'm at the beach this week, so I'm hoping it will be a lot better!!
