Hi. I just started MF (today is day 1) and so far so good. But I have a question about the water intake. I've read so many different threads and posts I need some clarification. I know you need 64oz of water minimum, but does water you put Crystal Light into count? I've seen some posts that said yes and some that said no. Honestly, that's the only problem I forsee me having. I like water, but about 30oz plain is all I can choke down. If I have a little flavor in it, I can drink oodles more.

Also, what is the difference in Take Shape For Life and Medifastdiet.com?

Thanks!
Amy

you can only drink 4 oz at a time 4 oz is like 2 gulps then an hour later 4oz before you drink a shake drink a couple ounces it doesnt have to be 30 oz once then 35 later

also you can put a little lemon in it

Hi! and congrats on starting the program! You want to take in as much water as you can... 64oz is suggested. I drink 16oz when I'm getting ready in the morning and then another with my morning shake, then another between that and my "main" breakfast...sometimes I have another during...I sit and drink a lot in the morning, because I get so busy in the evening that I forget!

However at lunch or after lunch I use the crystal lite..they give that change in water...You are doing well with 64oz and then some crystal lite..you just don't want to dehydrate your body!

We are starting tomorrow July 1 and are anxious but scared at the same time. Let's keep in touch and get going to a great new life!!!

Welcome Mouse! This was my first week and it went very well. I am petrified that this is just one more thing that won't work, but so far it has. I lost 8 lbs but when I weighed this morning I was up a pound (but I know why) Don't weigh everyday, it's addicting and a HARD habit to break! Good luck! Do you have a goal of how much you want to lose? I want to lose about 60lbs total....I could lose much more but we'll see how I look and feel after that loss and go from there.

I have the same issue with water. I hate it! I talked to my consultant at the time and she told me that Crystal Light DOES count towards my water! Makes it so much easier.

Huh? Did I miss something? Why can she only have 4 ounces at a time???

64 oz is a minimum and of course pure water is best. Personally, I drink a combination of water, Propel (flavored water with vitamins), decaf coffee, and other sugar free water drinks. I'm told that Diet Sodas count.... but I would not use that much.
Usually I drink 2-3 16 oz bottles of Propel and 1-2 bottles of water, a sugar free drink, and maybe a decaf coffee.
A good bet is to make sure that at least 64 oz is pure water and/or low carb/sugar free flavored water. After that its up to you.

[Finally_Losing]

I think that's what I'll do, a combination of sugar free/calorie free mixes and plain water.....probably alternating them.

I'm basically starting over again, July 4th is obviously not a strong time for me lol. But that's ok, today is a new day and so far so good

I believe Bree was SUGGESTING that she try drinking only 4 ounces at a time.
