Today's Challenge 1/6/10

Drink more water today. If you don't drink any, try to drink at least 4 glasses. If you are pretty regular with your water intake, do you know you are supposed to have 1/2 your body weight in ounces, NOT just 8- 8 oz glasses.

so, for me that would be 85 oz.

im going to walmart to get a few of the fizzy waters today. I never heard drink half your weight. I struggle with water..yuck.. I'm always up for a challenge though

ill take it cuz i think i am dehydrated, woke not feeling well and VERY thirsty!! Already had four glasses! NEED MORE!

Wow I've had 4 oz of water since Christmas. LOL Gonna be a real challenge ofr me.

lol i feel your pain.. try the flavored fizzy water..

water is SOOOOOO important tho!! healthy skin, kidneys, TONS of weight loss etc....

I am good at this!

About 6 years ago I decided that 300+ lbs wasnt me, and I decided that I would do something about it. Well I did! With the help of my ex husband I drink 150 oz of water a day for 2 1/2 years that is all I drank! WATER WATER WATER! I lost a total of 126 lbs! My skin was beautiful and my hair never looked better. WATER works, Ladies! I know I did it! Sissie dont even think about it! You are not designed to consume that much water in one day, dont do it!

Wanna know what happens when I consume that much............


My brain doesn't have the sensor to pee, so I hold it for hours sometimes days (till I start leaking and think oh I haven't gone to the bathroom since yesterday) Well then my bladder is over extended and I don't fully empty it when I go so it's a viscious cycle and I end up having bladder surgery to shrink it back to size complete with bladder contractions and a cath.

But I do it to my self when I get real desperate to lose the weight. LOL

Ladies, It is NOT healthy for my sissie but it is for me...GO FIGURE! We are twins...strange

PS

I tell you this to warn you!

Just be careful when drinking that much water.

I have a friend who has an identical twin, she is healthy her sister is not. GO FIGURE!!!

You're right Missie. TOO much water is unhealthy also. Runners have died from consuming too much water. Think alcohol poisoning but with water. If you slowly work your way up to 8 glasses or close to it, it helps.

Julie, Have you thought of getting a watch with an alarm so you can remind yourself to pee at least twice a day or something? I can hold my pee for almost a day as well but I need to go in the AM and before bed. lol

I didn't make the challenge but did do better than I have in past weeks. Still trying for more. I've found lemon juice and some ice helps. I want to try to stay away from the flavored powders you put in water.
