    I'm the Matron of Honor in my best friends wedding on May 31st of this year!!! I'm so excited!!! I need to lose 28 pounds between now and then! I've been dieting now for about 10 days, and have lost 4 pounds! (probably all water weight!) I'm looking forward to staying motivated with all of you girls!!!

    Kelly, I think its just you and me!
    Is any one else participating in the challenge?

    Yesterday, I had 68 oz of water. Today's not going so well, I hope I can get in my 64. I haven't been feeling too great and I hope I am not getting sick.

    Ok, ok...here we go:

    I never drink all my water.
    :noway:
    I know, I know.

    I admit to being a bit stubborn and refusing to believe that the 64 oz rule is hard-and-fast. I mean, I had soup for lunch yesterday, and the liquid in that's got to count for something.

    That being said, I did just find out that what I thought was my 16 oz container that I drink from actually turned out to be 22 oz, so I'm probably drinking close to 52 oz/day. Not too far off, but not 64 oz.

    Though I do drink a lot from the gym water fountain and I've never thought to count that. Who knows?

    hey all. My wedding is June 01, 2008. I have already lost 22 lbs. Got off track with all this wedding stuff going on but i really want to get back on the wheel and lose another 15 lbs.

    Wish me luck. I needed this bit of motivation.

    welcome sugarplum098! :flowerforyou: Congrats on your weight loss so far!!

    Melathon, you are still out there! :) Kelly and I were beginning to wonder if we were all by ourselves here.. Great work on water intake. I found it hard to believe that you really need that much water every day, but now I can tell the difference. I have had really bad acne breakouts until now. The change is that now that I am drinking buco amounts of water I am opting to not drink as much soda. I think there is a link somewhere there. My brother had the same thing happen. He doesn't drink any soda anymore and his face is pretty much acne free. So, for me, I am going to continue drinking lots of water because it is MUCH cheaper than buying all the acne treatments out there that don't really help anyway.

    Here's to a better, healthier life! :drinker:

    Hi all,

    sorry I've been super busy with school and didn't notice the challenges. But I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the next ones I guess. Also, I'll try to get the image of my bridesmaid dress, it's pretty :) I can't wait til I actually get it, how motivating that will be!!!

    Also, I think as of a couple of days ago, I was down 9lbs.... slowly moving down. Anyone know how many sizes down a dress can be altered? there is some boning in the dress and some rouching on the side. Thanks!

    Hey all... i try to get my water in... i have tea and such all the time (i was told on a previous site that you can count that water in it... cool)...

    but none of that matters now... sorry i've been MIA! I actually contacted the flu or something last week. missed 3 days off work and ended up at the Er so dehydrated and low on nutrients that i got some fluids pushed (i guess thats ONE way of getting your liquid! LOL)

    it's all good now. i'm feeling better... haven't attempted anything diet related because i just want to get better...

    but hopefully i can get myself back in the game soon!!

    and i will say that all this coughing is totally working my abs!

    All of you can reach your goals! If you're not already, please add strength training to your regimen. It's more beneficial for weight loss than Aerobics and/or Cardio.

    One of the best investments you can make in your future is your Health. Do yourself a favor and go buy the book, The Abs Diet by David Zincenko. It costs about $30. Read it and live by it! Pass it on to your children. It's some of the best and most sensible information you will ever read regarding Diet and Exercise.
