Ooh, I want to join. My usual weigh in day is Thursday, but I'm changing it to Monday. So, since Thursday, I'm down 1.0.

972-1.0=971

I couldn't stand it any longer.... I weighed in this morning instead of Friday. I'm down another 4 pounds!

971.0 - 4.0 = 967.0

Hi Team,

I have a quick question for you all...how did you figure out how much water was the right amount for you to drink? I went by the old 64 oz a day plus 8 oz for every 10 lbs I am over weight routine but I see on the forum that some people drink tons more water than that..how do you know its the right amount?

I'm trying to drink more water but I can only get so much down a day. I drink 100 oz. right now....but I'd like to drink 64 oz plus 8 for every 10 lbs.

Phatdiva welcome. Just under the wire. That makes ten of us. Just a couple of things to get out of the way here,

1. Marebear has been kind enough to design a graphic for either our avatars or signatures. A big thanks to her.

2. I wanted to thank everyone for joining me in this. The team concept makes it much more fun.

I am not going to weigh until Sunday. My scales are calling me but I MUST RESIST!!!!! I am looking forward to it, my shirt today feels very loose.

Regarding the water, I just take a 64 ounce bottle of water to school/work with me and drink from it all day. It gives me the fluids I need and helps me avoid soft drinks.

Excellent work gachic and Phatdiva. We are really whittling away that first 100.

I love the graphic marebear. It looks great! Thanks.

Hi team
I made a small banner that we can use and link to if you would like.
Just go to your user control panel, edit your signature and click on the "insert image" icon. A box will pop up and cut and paste the URL and it will add it for you.

Concerning the water issue - right now I drink 100 oz a day and more if I can. What I have heard/read is that you need 1/2 oz per pound. I know the more I drink the less hungry I am. I also bought stock in Charmin

Tell me about it...I visit the bathroom more often now than I did when I was pregnant........my kidneys are well flushed I can tell you that!!!! To bad we cant just shake and go like men!! Might cut down on the toilet paper usage!!

Down another pound at 206.5!

967.0 - 1 = 966

Wow! 28 punds in less than a week! This is great!

missaec.... you're almost in onederland....WTG!

Team 1000-

I was a bit late to join, but I'll cheer you on from the sidelines.

You're already on your way.

Maybe, if 9 others want to join w/ me, we can have some friendly competition to keep us motivated. Any one else interested? -Phat

WOW I got the link to work! What a wonder that is! I love this Mare! I am looking forward to weighing Monday and bringing that number DOWN (hopefully).

Yeah Phat, I think it would be a lot of fun to have different teams! HAHAHAHA! A little friendly competition can be a great thing.

Phat the best advice I can give you is to start a team thread. There are more people that are looking for this sort of thing. Either way, feel free to stop in and say hello anytime.
