in Motivation and Support
OK so since today is the official first day let's everyone post there weight today and goal weight. This week we will do an easy challenge. We will do a water challenge. I came across a great site to figure out how much water you should drink per day. It is a formula that is tallored to each person. Since my weight today is 190, I divide it by 2 and get 95 then 20% of 95 is19 and I subtract the 19 from the 95 and get a daily total of water which is 72 oz! Here is a link so you can all figure out how much water to drink. We can check in everyday if you want and let everyone know how you did with the water challenge.
My Weight today- 190
My goal weight- 165

    I'm thinking of going home for Thanksgiving and would like to be trimmer when I see the family again. So, your group comes at the perfect time for me. I've not done one of these motivation groups before, but I certainly could use all of the motivation and support I can get.

    Water challenge - go! I fell out of the water habit this summer so this is a good one for me. I woke up and immediately drank a big 12 oz glass - my goal is 62 oz.

    My weight today - 168.5
    My TD goal weight - 152

    My current weight today: 193
    My overall goal weight: 130
    My Thanksgiving goal: 175

    I like the water challenge too. . .I figured mine and it is 77.2 ounces is what I should be getting. Right NOW I am getting that but I need to be challenged to keep it up so this should help me:smile:

    I'd like to join. My weight's kind of plateaued since I met my new BF and I frequently go over in my calories bu 300 or so just by eating with him, and am not as loyal to the gym since I don't get to see him as much.
    water goal - 52 oz
    current weight - 130 (dissapointing since I was 128.2 a few days ago. I am bad and weigh myself daily)
    goal weight by turkey day - 125
    total goal weight - 122 if possible

    Glad to see some familiar faces and welcome to all the new faces! I have not done so good at the water challenge today. I still have some time though. Also for those of you who might wander why I am on at such odd times. I am in Germany and I am 6 hours ahead of eastern time. So I may not be on much in the evening my time which is day your time.

    I'm going to Phoenix for Thanksgiviing to visit my best friend and it'd be awesome to be close to 50 lbs lighter when I see her--by the time I get there, it will have been 13 months since I've seen her!

    Well, I JUST finished my last glass of water. I think tomorrow I will down more water first thing in the AM. :drinker:

    Going to bed early tonight - new exercise program is making me a little more tired this week. Hope I'm not up all night going to the loo after my 62 oz of water. Good night all!

    Good luck, everyone1 :drinker:

    According to your formula, I should be drinking 70oz. of water (if I did it right :tongue: ). I definitely get that all in. I drink closer to 100oz. a day. :drinker:

    Ooh I'd like to join if I still can! I did a few of these MFP motivational challenges and found them super helpful - so I'm hoping for the sam results with this one!

    Starting - 184
    Current - 155.8
    Goal - 140

    My Thanksgiving goal is 149. That's about 1 lb per 2 weeks - pretty slow progress, but I'm down to those last stubborn lbs. Gotta work it and be patient :)

    As for water, I've attached myself to a 32 oz water bottle that I carry w/ me at all times! I find it easier to get the H2O in if it's always close by...

    Anyway - good luck to everyone!! Let's do it! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I'm so glad to see you back, Christine!!! We missed you! I wanted to bookmark this thread-and I'm joining up, too!!! My kids started school; it's the first time BOTH have been in full-time, so I have no reason to fail at losing the rest of my weight! I'd like to drop a total of 30 pounds by Thanksgiving... Counting calories again plus all the workouts I've been doing should get me there no problem!
