I got closer to 80 oz today on the water, AND for once, I ate before 8pm! Woot!
-
None yet for me, but have split pea soup and salad planned for lunch, and a dinner of salmon and black bean tostadas with cabbage slaw planned. I might cut up a honeydew melon for some snacking too...
-
Got my 64oz water in today. Gonna make a real effort to get to the 100 oz every day this coming week... I have been slacking in that regard.
-
Epic fail the first day of the challenge... probably got 3 servings in (if french fries count as a vegetable!) lol Monday is another day...
-
I definitely got about 80 oz in!
-
I also use my HRM and put it in as Cardio exercise. Depending on the day, I have registered any where from 500-650 kcal for the full 60 min, but I'm quite overweight.
-
I got 64 oz in on Friday... not doing as well against my personal goal of 100 lately.... will have to step it up!
-
Could have done better today - but got my 64 oz in. Not hitting my goal of 100 oz the last few days. Friday is a new day!
-
I know I drank about 64 oz, but I also worked out, so I didn't get enough water yesterday - did have 2 large diet sodas, which is even worse (and I got the shakes from all that caffeine!) But, it was a busy day at work, which makes things more tricky anyway. Today is a new day!

I did pretty well Monday with the water - didn't even get my usual diet soda in. Had at least 80 oz, and then lost track. I gotta get out of this plateau I'm currently in!
-
I wish I didn't eat when I was stressed - it has the opposite effect on me. Great job with the water and the avoiding the late night snack!
-
I didnt do that great with water this weekend. I think for Sunday I barely eked out 60 oz, and that might be a stretch. I tend to drink too much diet soda on the weekends, which eats into my water. Back to regular routines now that it is Monday again. Good job everyone else - I'm impressed with you all! :drinker:
-
Great job keeping up with the water! I find it VERY tough on the weekend!
-
Not as successful with the water today - probably got about 56 oz, but drank like 3 24 oz fountain diet cokes. Oh well... Sunday's another day
-
I got through 96 oz of water yesterday - this is really helping me drink it up, accountability helps motivate me, so thanks Chika! Although I'm not able to do the not eating after 8pm, I am proud to say that I have eaten dinner before 9pm for 3 days in a row, which is good for me. Make it a great day everyone!
-
Managed to get almost to 100 oz of water today - woo hoo!
-
The scale is a dangerous thing - I agree with others, use a measuring tape in conjunction with the scale (if you can't give it up) and do measurements once a week or every other week. That will allow you to see changes that the scale won't show you. If your clothes are geting looser, you are doing great! Sometimes, our…

Managed to get in 96 oz today! Woo Hoo. I'm liking this challenge already!

219.4 this a.m. - definitely put on a few lbs over the New Year's holiday, and hope they come off quickly....all the extra water should help! :) Would LOVE to see 210 by the end of the month. Rose

Definitely one for the books! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats on your success!

Welcome - you have taken the big first step - saying how much you weigh and saying out loud that you're not happy about it. THat means you can really get started. Its certainly not easy, and trying to go cold turkey on everything in your life is hard too, so baby steps into a lifestyle that you can maintain - its not a…

Someone above said it - consistency! No matter how you day has gone, whether your over or under your calories, or did or didn't exercise, just put it down. Log it! Getting into the habit of logging really helps with mentally planning your eating day so you can plan your splurges and not feel like your constantly deprived.…

I lost 60lbs one time by doing Atkins (very low carb) and did it really fast. However, while it worked that time, the minute I added carbs back into my diet, my weight ballooned right back up. Eliminating carbs (or any thing) can often work against you. I also think the low carb thing messed up my metabolism a bit, because…

Does running on the treadmill count the same as running outside? I know that you don't have wind resistance and other benefits of "moving through space" on the treadmill...

I will look forward to hearing responses on this, as I experience this as well. I find it is worse on the elliptical machine I have at home, and not so much at the ones at the gym. It is really annoying... Rose

I just took my first spinning class this last week, and I loved it! Like you, I was afraid to go and try it, being afraid I woudn't be able to keep up, do it, etc. But it was really great. Like others have said, introduce yourself to the instructor and make sure you know how to set up the bike and change gears etc. I…

What a wonderful feeling! Congratulations, it is a truly great accomplishment!
-
Nice job - you can really see the results of your hard work!

Certainly talk to your doctor, but one of the things that helped me as soon as I got the ok from my OB was to get a heart rate monitor so that I always knew that I wasn't exerting more than was healthy for my little one! Good luck!
