Water Challenge!

As many of you know and a lot of you will learn...Water is one of the most important keys to helping us stay hydrated and getting the weight to fall off.  I really like short term challenges because it seems like the end is easier to obtain. So, I would like to start our first official WATER CHALLENGE on this board.  It will start tomorrow (Monday, January 6th and run through Sunday, January 13th). I would encourage everyone to try to get in 80 plus ounces of water each day.  This is a challenge that you can do whether you are pre-op or post-op. Please come here each day and post your water intake. It would be great if we could all get to 100 ounces of water each day and...think of how your body will thank you and...how the pounds will drop off. Who's game? Tonja

Today is the day.  My goal is to get as close to 100 ounces of water as I can.  I will post tonight before bed or tomorrow morning on how it goes. Who is up for joining me? Tonja

I will take on the challenge.  I need to increase my water intake just like everyone else.  By the way thank you for adding me to the group.  I am a bit furthur north than most if you, but can use all the support.  Have a great Monday!

YEAH!  We've got a taker!  I'm on my 2nd bottle of water now.  I'm not doing as well as I had hoped.  I would really like to be on #3 right now.  But...tis life. Tonja

I'm in on the challenge.  I'm on my 2nd  32 oz water jug for today.  On the other post "checking in", I left an idea for the winner.  I will gladly purchase a new water bottle for the one that wins this week's challenge if you will send me the winner's name and address on my personal email address or call me and let me know. I love challenges however short or long in duration.  It is very motivating to me.  Thanks for starting this one.

That is a great idea!  I bet I could get a waterbottle from my hubby's job...he's at Chesapeake.  They have grea****er bottles. Let me talk to him! Tonja

That sounds great.  Thanks for checking on that.

Okay...I've got bottles lined up.  We will do this challenge a week at a time.  If everyone could post each day how much water intake they had each day.  I've got three bottles that I'll get this week.  They are Chesapeake Water Bottles and I can mail them or hand out in person to the winner each week.  So...everyone get to posting on here! We'll just be using the honor system. I'm on my 3rd bottle of water for today.  I'd like to get in 4 bottles.  We'll see.  That will be 100 ounces of water. So...let's get this party started! Tonja

Ok my water sucked today, but I got all my protien and vitamins in.  My water is currently at 50 oz.  I am finishing my cup so that I will be at 66 before bed.

My water consumption for Monday, January 7th was 72 ounces.  I will try to do better today.
