  • July water challenge -- come one ... Come all!!!





    It's almost July - half the year is gone... so sign up for the Monthly Water Challenge!


    Drinking enough water is vital on Atkins for many reasons.
    1) It helps to flush toxins and fats out of the body;
    2) protects the kidneys;
    3) prevents dehydration;
    4) helps to prevent constipation; and
    5) helps with water retention.

    This is one of the easiest challenges to can do - all you have to do is DRINK!! We don't take any days off - this is a month long challenge. It's up to you to post daily


    RULES
    1. Commit to an amount of PURE (nothing added except ice) water you will consume each day (64oz minimum).

    2. Sign up A.S.A.P. We start July 1st

    3. Post your water intake no more than once a day

    4. All you have to do is post your name and how many ounces of water you are pledging each day. Each day put the date and number of ounces you drank for that day - it's that easy.

        carole, i want to join for july but i know for a fact that i will be moving and i'll be without internet for days, maybe more than a week. is that going to be okay?
        if so, i'll pledge the minimum of 64 ounces per day.

        i took the liberty of moving the thread to the challenges forum. it was stuck in the exercise challenges forum.

                Jimmie -- thank you for moving the thread ----- after I posted it I thought about where I had put it...(head slap).

                As far as you moving -- congratulations (better you than me!!) -- keep track of your water intake while you are offline and when you get back put them in 1 post...I'll make sure you get credit for what you drink!

                Batman - I usually drink 150oz a day (and sometimes more) but I pledge 120oz -- that way if I have a bad day or can't get all my water in for some reason I'm still ok. This is a pledge of what you will drink -- if you drink more -- WHOO HOOO -- good for you!!

                Remember when you come and post please post this way:

                July 1 -- 150oz.

                if you have more than 1 day to post:

                July 1 -- 150oz
                July 2 -- 150oz
                July 3 -- 120oz
                July 4 -- 170oz

                something like that.

                LET'S HAVE A GREAT MONTH!!!

                            My first thought was "Why are we talking about July?".

                            I will try it again. It has been helpful to keep track.

                            I will go for 120 oz again.

                            Now off to update my June totals..had company for the weekend and I am behind on posting them.

                            Thanks Carole!!

                              Yes, 100 oz will be my minimum. I found that I don't even drink soda anymore. I take a 24 oz bottle where ever I go and drink about 5 bottles,(refilling them for economy and ecology sake) LOL
