To help us on our weight loss journey, let's drink our old weights in water. In doing so, we'll get to our new, healthier weights!

Here's how I figured it:

• 7704.8 lbs start weight/8.34 lbs per gal of water = 924 gallons total for the Water Challenge.
  
• 924 gallons x 128 oz/gallon = 118,272 oz
  
• 118,272 oz a day/77 days (11 weeksx7 days left, about) = 1536 oz a day
  
• 1536 oz a day / 35 losers (approx) = 44 oz a day

Through the magic of this incredible team, this is achievable!

So, start with 118,272, and subtract your water as you drink it.

Here's to us! Glug, glug!

GO RED!!!

Only for you, Candle! I know the water thing is not your favorite, and you are doing so well.

Actually, I'm wondering if ANYONE likes drinking all this water? When I'm at the gym, I crave it so I can usually get 24 oz down pretty quick.

Anyhow, here's my contribution for today:

118,121.7 - 80 oz = 118,041.7

Now, which one of our water-logged Red Teammates will get us under 118K?

Chug it, Red!

BA

I've done 88oz today. So thats:
117,928.8 - 88 = 117840.8

Thanks choosewell for getting this going. It's a very big help.

117840.8 -64 =117776.8

Cat and GH2007, great to see you tonight! In the nick of time, too, we need your ounces.

I felt compelled to drink some more water tonight, you guys are fantastic for motivation. So:

117776.8 - 16 = 117,760.8

We have some serious water drinkers on the Red Team, so this might go quickly. If so, we are going to empty/fill that swimming pool!

OK, get some shut eye, and dream of clean, clear water, washing away our unwanted pounds and inches.

nighty-night! choosewell

I drink 2 full 1 liter bottles every day (I'm incredibly consistant with this for some reason), and that = 64oz a day so...

117,760.8 - 64 = 117,696.8

Katiebo...sounds like you have a nice little water habit going there! That's to your teammates' advantage, and yours!

Tomorrow...we head for the 116K's, previously uncharted territory.

zzzzz choosewell.

I drank an extra bottle just for this challenge! 67.6 oz for the day.

117,696.8 - 67.6 = 117,629.2 (this is why we had to learn math with decimals, wasn't it?)

It's so great to see more of the red team members posting here. Welcome and Go Red Team Go!!!!

Thank you so much for starting this challenge for us. Sorry I haven't been around this weekend,....been busy.

Yesterday I drank 96 oz of water

117629.2-96=117533.2


We are on our way.

117,533.2 - 32 = 117,501.2


I'll do another 32 after I go shopping today

I got down 32 and another 32 in the works so 117,501.2-32= 117469.2

Ok this is a challenge I can keep up with! Sorry I wasn't around this weekend to do this. Sunday was 100oz and Today was 60 so far.

Jenny puts us


117469.2-160=117309.2

WooHoo

I drank 112 oz of water today!!

117309.20-112 = 117197.2
