Go Sober for October (Water only!)

[amzjp]

Hey everyone, so I have set myself a task of drinking nothing but water for the next 7 weeks, including no squash, juice, fizzy drinks. Anyone else up for the challenge?

[feelingfine]

I'm gonna do it as well I'm always drinking diet coke I don't really enjoy it anymore.so I'm gonna give that up.

[amzjp in reply to feelingfine]

Yeah that's my problem, diet coke. And it's so bad for you so I def need to quit my addiction!

[justmesayinghello in reply to amzjp]

Diet coke is a big no no

Hi I'm new to site but I am starting to diet tomorrow ,fizzy drinks are one of my many bad habits so I will join your challenge too . Don't think I've ever had the recommended 8 glasses a day :-0

[justmesayinghello]

Hi think i would be up for the challenge ?

[amzjp in reply to justmesayinghello]

I'm on day three now, definitely do it, it will help towards our weight loss

[shazita]

My problem is I dont drink any water so for me I'm with you but I start tomorrow as already had cuppa

[amzjp]

I never used to drink a drop of water but now don't mind it. I have a filer for home and at work we have the filtered tap as I can only drink it if it's really cold, can't drink it out the tap.

[highbmi]

Day 1: 1- 1/2 litres of water today ,3 cups of coffee but no fizzy or cordial yet target 2litres before bed

[Justtoes]

I am with you. Saves lots of calories

We will feel much better!

[amzjp]

Start of day 3, this will be the test - the weekend! Day 1 and 2 were ok, drinking water at work is easier. Had about 2 litres a day. Even managed to avoid friday cakes yesterday! How is everyone else going? I'm just getting ready for a 9am BodyCombat class...

Last week i was 13.10 and today i am 13.01 ...It,s not just the coke i no but hey something is working ?

[amzjp in reply to justmesayinghello]

Yeah completely agree, it's been 4 days since I've had any drink but water and I used to have 2-3 cans of diet coke a day! It's been alot easier than what I expected as well, didn't ever need it! It really does help with weightloss as well as I don't feel as bloated at all. What sort of foods do you eat?

[justmesayinghello in reply to amzjp]

I do eat well at the mow water 24/7 morning porridge and some fruit and honey ...Later chicken salad or something like that ? later maybe n e thing but nothing to over the top you no !! Off the beer to helps big time ....

[amzjp in reply to justmesayinghello]

Yeah I've given up alcohol until mid November! Fingers crossed!

[justmesayinghello]

[justmesayinghello]

[amzjp in reply to justmesayinghello]

Yeah as soon as you start to see results then it makes it easier! Next weekend will be the test for me as I'm going to the pub for a family meal and I love a cold glass of beer..but water it will be!

[justmesayinghello]

I got a funeral to go to in the week and sat night i got a friends 21th now that will be hard but knot to say if i fill like i will have a beer i will do ....If i say no to myself all the time i think it will just make things harder don,t you ?

[amzjp in reply to justmesayinghello]

Yeah completely agree, you def need to give yourself a cheat day every now and again. How much weight have you lost so far?

[justmesayinghello]

Well i was 15.03 this time last year, then started the gym and things like that got down to 14 and stopped sort of if you no what i mean .....But now back on it again and over the last 10 days i am down to 13.01 well i was this morning n e way ....How about you ?

[amzjp in reply to justmesayinghello]

My weight has yo yo'd for years now. In 2011 I was 13 stone (5ft 8 tall) , I'm now 15.5 but a couple of months ago I was 16.8 so least it is going down. I lost 3lsb this week. Just started a new gym plan, go to the gym Saturday - Thursday with Friday as my rest day and started calorie counting using the MyFitnessPal app which is working. I want to get back down to 13 asap really!

[justmesayinghello]

Good going girl 16.8 at the very start !! I to am about 5ft 8 i think ? about that !! I am sure you will get back to 13 stone ....I will get down to 12 stone in a 4 to 5 weeks if it kills me lol.... And then take it from there ?

[amzjp in reply to justmesayinghello]

Yeah it's then just about maintaining it! I keep thinking I hope I don't have to go to the gym 6 times a week when I have hit my ideal weight! I see so many skinny girls in the gym every day (and they do 2 classes in a row) and think why are you here! haha

[justmesayinghello]

I see all that at the gym every time i go, but every one is doing there best in the gym the more you go the better it get or so i have been told ..The fitter you get the better it is to do your work out in june i did a 10k run ( well run and walk lol ) but before the gym and working out i would never !! never !! never !! never !! NEVER !! in 250 years think i could do it ok 300 years ..... Time for some water i think lol

[amzjp in reply to justmesayinghello]

Yep time for a glass of water with my chicken salad!
