    I'm super bad with water and am a Diet Coke junky. I need to stop, I know. So, if there were a water challenge, what would it be? I'd need something feasible. (Like replacing ONE Diet Coke with a glass of water! Heck, what do you want? I'm addicted! :ohwell: )

    LOL! I understand! I was thinking maybe just adding 2 glasses of water to the 8 we are already getting. Personally all I drink is coffee and water so this would not be too tough for me...but for you what you proposed might work best! I would say start off replacing one a day then increase with each week...YOU CAN DO IT!!!:smokin:

    I actually do need to work on my water... I haven't been doing so well the past few days. Normally it's not a big deal, but if I have a day or two where I don't do well it is tough for me to pick it back up. And it's not like I'm drinking soda or anything... I'm just not drinking.

    I did workout last night... the original Biggest Loser workout video. Holy burning quads, Batman! Could they put any more squats and lunges in one workout? Wow. There are several different workouts on the DVD, so it may keep me entertained for a while.... assuming my TV doesn't give out on me. It's acting like it wants to die. :cry:

    Good morning, everyone!

    Last night after Biggest Loser, I completed Week 3, Day 3 of the Couch to 5K program. It was pretty easy and I even added two minutes of running at the end before my cool down. Yay. Tomorrow, I start the Week 4 workouts.

    I also stayed within my calories last night, which I've been struggling with for the past few days. Weekends are terrible for my eating! Last night, my boyfriend started on his Men's Health eating plan again, so we're both moving toward eating better. It's unreal how delicious the meals are on his plan!! But, I still don't have him talked into doing cardio...he told me to stop swearing at him (to him, cardio is THE "S" swear word!).

    This morning started with a protein shake for breakfast, so I'm off to a good start. The scale was up 1/2 lb. this morning, but I'm blaming TOM.

    Have a great day!

    Good morning!

    I drank 5 servings of water yesterday, compared to my normal 2. I also cut out two Diet Cherry Cokes. The 3rd of 5 workouts for the week has been completed, with Biggest Loser Power Sculpt last night and Week 4, Day 1 of Couch to 5K this morning.

    Last night I had a weigh in at the place I buy my protein shakes from and I've lost 2.5 inches from my butt and thighs! Woo hoo!

    Keep up the good work, everyone!

    I keep hearing people talking about protein shakes. Is this something I should be doing? What kind? Do I drink it instead of a meal? How does everyone use protein shakes. :drinker: That's me trying out the protein shakes. :bigsmile:

    So... I vanished for a week or 2... Not so great with weight loss - only .5 pounds since the 12th...
    Ah well... I dragged myself back to the website and am going to try to re-motivate myself.
