I well remember how tough the water allocation is when bigger... Reducing the amount of water by every half litre was one of the big milestones that I used to celebrate in my big project... Well worth celebrating as much as any BMI level change....

I havent been doing it lately though...... LOL I would never manage my more modest water requirement these days if I wasnt doing the cardio... I had 0.5 litre of water yesterday right up to my hour of zumba... I couldnt face any more... Then in an hour of hardcore zumba I got through 1.5 litres so that got me up to 2 litres... That encouraged me to have the extra to get me up to my target...

I should manage today's ok as I have 2 hours of zumba and then salsa...
I drink water or diet cola when I am salsa dancing... Most people do... It tends to surprise bar owners who want the clubs in their bars... They imagine that the bar sales will be huge because we are so lively and then get a shock when people just want water and soft drinks...

Feel like throwing in the towel. With all the other crap that's going on, feeling as if my body has decided to actively work against me isn't helping at all. :(

Updated my scoresheet. Sorry for not being able to contribute more, team.
 
I have good news for the team...
As you know - I had negligible weight loss in week 1 - earning 1 point with my 0.1% loss...
Thankfully - my work has been rewarded this week with a lovely loss of 2.7% (2.8% in total since the start of the challenge minus the 0.1% which I had already claimed points for)...

I maxed my points otherwise... The exercise points are always guaranteed for me unless I am ill or injured. The water took some hard work - but I got there.

Don't throw in the towel. No need to apologise - we all have weeks where nothing goes right.

I can see how hard you have worked:

You have put in a lot of effort and maxed your exercise and come amazingly close to maxing your bonus points too... That's a heck of a lot of water that you downed for the team...

Getting the actual weight loss is tricky for a lot of us... I got virtually none in the first week... Maybe your body will catch up for you soon and give you the results that you deserve...

Hang on in there.

Ok, so I’m pretty upset this week and feel like a big fat failure! My exercise was down. My weight was up. I do not think this is fat gain. My body has been playing tricks on me. My TOM should’ve started several days ago and here I sit waiting. Anyway, the scale has been hovering around 198-199lb all week after being down in the 195’s for much of last week. If I figured my math correctly, I only earned 4 points for this week because of the weight gain deduction.

My exercise was cut shorter than usual this week because of some back pain. I’m going to stop doing the 30 Day Shred and go back to Taebo. I wanted to give the 30DS a real try, but it’s not worth the pain, especially not in my back. Maybe when I’m in better shape I’ll give it a go again, but for now I’m going back to Taebo. My exercise numbers will be much better, hopefully my scale will kinder as well.
