Water Challenge: 64 oz +

[HarlemUSA]

ADDB I have problem, water...water.. .I've always had a problem with getting my daily requirement. I've tried everything except for accountability. After all the posts that I've been reading over past couple of years,the one thing that remains consistent is accountability. Posting your accomplishments, as well as failure. I realize that I am one of those people who needs that type of support. Over the years I've done Jenny Craig, LA Weightloss, Weight Watchers and I've always done best when I am accountable. I believe that I can get that with ADBB. So I'm reaching out to you, my support system, let's start a water challenge, especially for the those of you who are experiencing the struggle with your daily intake. I will be going into Extended Induction beginning 10/18 and I want to kick it up a notch. I'm already kicking up the exercising . Who wants to join me?

I upped my water and exercise and I've noticed a big difference in the weight loss and inch loss - where the weight loss was stalling a bit, its now a constant loss each week!!

Re: Water Challenge: 64 oz +

Wow...I'm so happy that I'm not the only person struggling with getting the water in. Today is the first day of my challenge and I'm at work sitting at my desk with my 2nd botter of water (16 oz), 9:48 am (NYC). By I'm ready to leave from work my goal is to have completed my 64 oz of water intak. That is my mini goal for now. Alright ADBB the challenge is on, now go and get a glass or bottle of work and kick up this weight loss a notch.

Same here, sitting with my 52 oz bubba keg mug as pictured below except mine is pink. Got it from walmart these things are amazing! They claim to keep beverages cold 10 hours but If I use ice, sometimes the next day the ice is still there!!!



I have a straw in it now, is it just me or is it easier to down a ton of liquid if you use a straw?
so Im sitting here with my pink bubba keg and a straw getting my first 52 oz lol. I think I may do 100 oz today. Man i am really needing to see some kinda loss. Been the same all month it seems. Imma get moving again today and drink drink drink!!!!

8c down. Woohoo! I find drinking out of bigger glasses much easier. I use a 4c plastic cup, and It doesn't feel as hard to me, when I do it this way. I drink 4 of them as my goal. i find that the more water I drink, the more I want to drink. Hehe. I'm learning that I am more thirsty that I realize!

I'd like to join you too.

I've been using a straw also and the counting method. I tell myself that I will sip through the straw at a slow count of five then stop. Then I do one more set of five and then I'll have just about two cups of water drunk by doing that.

A good incentive: I just read two different articles that both say that if you drink two cups of water at one sitting that you raise your metabolism by 30 percent for 30 minutes. So, basically, it will help melt the "cushion" off of us!!

I also put a link on water in my siggie to remind me. You can view it below.

Thanks for starting this challenge!!

Re: Water Challenge: 64 oz +

Oops! I just noticed that this challenge is in the Extended Induction forum...(sorry, I didn't realize it and only saw it under "New Posts".)

P.S. Is it open to only those in EI or everyone? If everyone, maybe we could ask to have it moved to the "challenge" forum and more people would join?

I didn't even finish it it. I had two sips and was like, YUCK. I never thought I'd say that! I used to love diet sodas!
