New You by the New Year Challenge

How much water?

154 ounces of water today, or 4.6 liters.

If you eat a healthy diet, about 20 percent of your water may come from the foods you eat. If you eat a healthy diet you can drink 123.2 ounces of water today, or 3.7 liters.


That is a lot of water. I was having a hard enough time trying to drink 8 glasses a day. Water down Wednesday sounds good to me.

Hello to all and especially to team #2

My name is Gretchen, I am a 38 yr old wife and mom of 3,ages 14, 13, and 7. I work full time as an LPN in a nursing home and am about to start beck to school to get my RN.

Growing up I was of a slender build. I developed a bad relationship with food and exercise....I ate what I wanted, and never really worked out...I was able to get away with it....even after the birth of my 1st 2 children I bounced back to pre pregnancy weight with very little difficulty.

About 10 years ago, though, things started changing....I slowly started to put on weight. And then when I got pregnant and had my daughter, I couldnt drop the weight....

My goal is to lose 50 lbs, hopefully by November, when I attend my cousin's wedding.

My immediate goal is to lose 15 lbs by the end of August, when I celebrate my 15 yr anniersary


according to my weight watchers scale my % body fat is 30....eeeeks

My bf% is 35.

143 ozs, I had 80 yesterday of water and I drink 2 shakes a day, each 14 oz. I'm not sure I can drink any more than that. It said if I eat healthy I could drink 114 ozs that is close to what I did yesterday so I'll try for that.:drinker:

Wow! Just one day late... Can I join? I have more than 50 to lose.

Team Two has come up with a name...Team Abnehmen, which is German for lose weight.

33.6% fat for me......thought it would be loads more than that!!

I have to drink 117.9 oz or 3.5 liters of water im sure i drink that much of water a day maybe even more sometimes cause i drink alot of water i like water :-) and plus its very hot in New York right now.....lets go team 1 :-)

I will calculate my body fat % tonight when I have my tape measure.

By the new year, I would like to lose a total of 60lbs. As of this am I am 212.8, so that would put me at 152.8. Haven't seen that number since middle school!!!!!!!!! hahahhaah.

Team 3, are we going with a name?

LOL
I am going to try to get to my pre-puberty weight! :laugh:

That would put me at 160Lbs, for a guy that's 6'7, thats just "Skelator" looking.:laugh:

Hahaha. Probably not a good look.

My BF% is 27.1.

Hey!!!!

My name is Sam (Samantha). I am 40, with 2 boys (11 & 7).
I am also, a daily weigher (on the scale every day)!!!! I do have a gym membership; but I don't always have time to use it! (Prefer to work out in the morning).
Always had an issue with the weight though! My height is 5' 9", and this morning, I clocked in at 212.6lbs (Will do the measurements in the morning).

My goal weight is 160lbs (maybe 30% BF) (I have been down to 140lbs, and was told, that I looked ill).

I think my problem is, not eating enough for me! (So I am working on that)!
