Welcome to WA beaugael! You look great w/out makeup! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> :icon_bigg

 

[qristeele]

How did everyone do over the weekend? I have been keeping up with 10 glasses on Saturday and 12 today. Just thought I'd post a picture of myself at this stage. Of course, picture is with some makeup on, taken just before I went out for dinner today. :icon_bigg

 

[KittySkyfish]

Hi qristeele! You look beautiful! Your skin definitely looks luminous, as well. :clap I hope you had a nice dinner - what did you have?

The last few days have been great w/ water. I've had at least 80oz per day, and doing more of slow drinking versus glass gulping. But there's something else that has been happening - I'm not using the bathroom as much after I go to bed. Before the water challenge, I would have a routine of going at least 1x around 3-4:00 a.m., then getting up later and going again when I wake up for good. Now, if I stop drinking early enough, I seem to be going only when I wake up! I think this is having a positive influence on my bladder, whether it is because my usual soft drinks are more stimulating and irritated my bladder or because there is less bacteria to be found in the bladder. Very nice!

 

[qristeele]

Hi Kerry (hope you don't mind me calling you that), thanks for your compliments! I feel that now my makeup lasts longer too and my skin is not as oily as it used to be. This challenge has been wonderful! I had fish and chips (my rare treats for the month). It was yummy! :clap

Hey, I experience that too! Just a few days ago, I was asking if anyone still rushes to the bathroom even on days when they drink less but now I find that my bladder has 'stabilised'. I go to the bathroom less often now although I still drink 10-12 glasses daily. Don't you think our bodies are amazing? :icon_love

 

[KittySkyfish]

Don't mind being called Kerry at all! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ohhh, fish and chips. Yummmmmm...*drool* That sounds so good,esp. w/ malt vinegar!

 

[Laura]

I dont know why on earth i'm posting this pic but hopefully it will motivate me. I took this yesterday so bear in mind that i have a chest infection & tonsilitis while this pic was taken LOL!

 

[Miffy]

Aww Laura!! Are you feeling any better?

I started drinking 8 glasses of water a day, using ACV as a toner at night, and moisturizing with sesame seed oil. My skin feels sooo much better! The blemishes on my cheeks cleared up and the ones on my forehead are clearing up nicely. My skin's softer (or firmer? I don't know.) My skintone's a bit better now. Unfortunately I have a buncha scars on where the blemishes invaded my cheeks, so it doesn't look that much better.

 

[Andi]

Laura sweetie hope you get better soon!!! you don´t look bad at all...when I´m sick I look so pale and gross my brother always tells me to go put on some makeup :icon_chee

ha, the big cystic zit I felt coming up didn´t come up, it stayed as a swelling under my skin for like 2 days and not it´s already going away. not sure why (never happened before!), maybe it´s the water, maybe my new skincare stuff.

anyway, even after not doing great with the water challenge on the weekend (as usual!) my skin is looking good. I´ll make up for the water loss during the week

 

[crazi29]

I am so doing this now!!!!! I think its a GREAT challenge for us and its fantabulous that we can all share our progressess!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I can do this because I've been pestered by my mum (shes a doctor) that if I don't drink enough, I'll have kidney problems and my skin will look horrible so...yea

This is me like 2 days ago.........

 

[KittySkyfish]

Awww, Laura, I hope you'll be feeling better soon! Hopefully today's been a good day of rest for you.

*fluffs Laura's pillow and serves her chicken noodle soup* :icon_chee

 

[KittySkyfish]

crazi - you remind me so much of Sarah Michelle Gellar! *Very* pretty!

Andrea - that's great your cyst is receeding! :clap

 

[PopModePrincess]

Hey everyone. Glad to see that everyone is still hanging in. My 5 year old has been sick and it's been really hard to think of anything else but getting him well. Today he's doing much better, so I've been trying to drink more than I have in the last few days. To be honest, I kind of fell off my water drinking because I haven't been eating or drinking much at all since he's been ill.

 

[Laura]

Yup i'm feeling much better again now Miffy, thank you!

Andrea are you kidding me girl? I look like death. I'm so regretting putting up that pic now but its motivation for me to drink so i'll leave it there!

*gulps down Kerry's soup* that was delicious hun, thanks!

 

[crazi29]

aww!! Thank you!!:icon_love

Well...till now..I've drunk 5 glasses...I'll probably reach 8 after dinner....I'm already noticing a difference (even after a day of starting) because normally my skin will be really dry in the morning but today it was slightly less tight..:icon_chee wwooohhooo

 

[Kelly]

Yea. Welcome welcome to beaugael & crazi29 & Miffy. You can ALL do this....it is SO AMAZING to see your results, after about 3 days (sometimes longer) you will just be amazed. And then again after about 2-3 weeks you will be amazed at what and how your body reacts to the POSITIVE change.

I too have been away for a bit, so I'm popping my head back in to see how everyones doing, tomorrows another BUSY one....so hopefully I'll be back on track by Wednesday.

So sorry to hear about your being sick Laura, hope your feeling better. And for being sick, you don't look too bad hon.....man you should see my pics when I'm sick.....actually people don't get to take pics of me when I'm sick....:icon_lol: .

qristeele great job this weekend. I actually fell short a bit this weekend, but back on track today. Awesome to hear your makeup is going and staying on better.....it's because your have a smoother, more renewed canvas to start with.:icon_smil YEA!

Kerry, I too have found my trips to the bathroom are less...yea!!!! I feel my poor bladder is thanking me too, I used to have such a weak bladder! Love your new avatar too.

Arielle I'm so excited to hear about your cyst and its reaction and hopefully it ran and hid and died away.....that is sooooo promising, since I have acne prone skin as well and can be prone to cystic acne....this is SO AWESOME!!!!

Raquel, sorry to hear you fell off for a bit....that's ok.....just jump back up, but hey I hear ya, my daughter broke her finger and I've been doing the bathing and bathroom visits with her....pretty interesting babying my 12 year old again.

So I'm gonna go ahead and add the above 3 to our list.

WAY TO GO ALL OF US.....YEA US!!!!:clap

 

[Andi]

I have to say I have rather clear skin, just the occasional whitehead and cystic zit (PMS related I guess..no matter how healthy I eat I still get them every once in a while). never ever has a cystic one ever just gone away before reaching its surface. this is a miracle happening *LOL* I will NOT stop with the challenge!!!! I swear

you can call me Andrea btw :icon_chee

 

[Kelly]

Thanks Andrea....I guess I didn't catch your name or wasn't paying attention. I can tell by your pictures that you have very nice skin (very beautiful, might I add) and you're like most of us who suffer from the occasional breakout. Glad to hear the water is working great for you:icon_chee .
