INTRODUCTION - 30 Day Water-Only Transformation: The Beginning - Any Food You Want

[BooAGuitar]

i always drink water nothing else lol, well sometimes milk or orange juice but nothing else been doing this for a year now.

Water is King.

[mylaylay18]

@BooAGuitar You are so right. Since starting this journey, now all I drink is water and green shakes...nice to hear from you! Keep in touch!

[Summersweet1]

Hey, I just found your page but think that the 30 day fast of water only is a great idea. I will definitely join you and try this out...

[mylaylay18]

@Summersweet1 Cool! Nice to meet you!

[maximuslyricus]

Weird! No idea what it cud be! Thinking about joining u on the water fast - albeit late!

[mylaylay18]

@maximuslyricus It's never too late!!! :-)

[franice01]

Hi by water only do you mean we can't drink tea or hot chocolate or any of those hot beverages??? Please let me know thanks

[mylaylay18]

@franice01 Hi! Nice to meet you and hear from you :-)...I mean water as the beverage you drink with all of your meals. No other beverages :-D Hope you join in!

[athomas1124]

I am loving your videos...

[mylaylay18]

@athomas1124 Hey Lady!!!! So nice to hear from you!! Hope all is well in your world and glad to know you're enjoying the videos!!! Hope to hear from you along the way...talk soon! xoxoxo

[93stephaniee]

@mylaylay18 Hey, hope you are well. It's going great so far. Got lots of water to drink and have already drank lots. Made a mistake and went down the drink aisle at Walmart and the thirst for tea hit me like a ton of bricks. Needless to say i got out of there quick :-} TTYL

[mylaylay18]

@93stephaniee LMBO!!! I have the same thing happen to me almost every day!! lol...even tonight...going to a nice dinner party and won't be able to drink ANYTHING but my good old trusty water :-)

[allthatisbeautyntrue]

Wow i have been drinking water as my mean beverage for years now. So I am sure I drink water only at least 300 days or more out of every year. I am happy you are doing this your body will love it.

[mylaylay18]

@allthatisbeautyntrue That's great how much water you drink each year! I used to be the same way except for the last 6 months or so. So, I'm glad to have a chance to get back on the path. Good to hear from you and hope you stop by to share some of that motivating energy since you're used to it already :-) Talk soon! Much love!

[allthatisbeautyntrue]

@mylaylay18 I never measured how much water I drink per year before, but I try to drink a least 1/2 gal. per day, some days more or less. At the moment I am drinking green smoothies with kale, chard, banana, pear, dates and an apple. But I never drink sodas, coffee, beer etc. I do drink fruit juices & teas sometimes. But most of the time I just drink water. When I drink a beverage it has to be something healthy. I don't know how people drink soda it feels like acid/poison to me.

[mylaylay18]

@allthatisbeautyntrue OOOOOhhh, I love green smoothies!!! I see what you mean with soda feeling like acid...it's like we enjoy the burning sensation lol I'm doing well so far though and really enjoying my water! I think I'm going to go another 30 days and see where that takes me...good to hear from you!

[mylaylay18]

@MissAvail Hey there! Nice to hear from you! This water-only journey is focused only on the beverage part, not the food. So, I'm still eating whatever I choose for now :-) Hope you're enjoying your evening! Keep in touch!

[SimplyZeal]

I just came oof the the Daniel fast last month. Rightnw there is Rice Milkd and Orange Juice inteh fridge. I would join but I have to get my iron back up to par. I been drinking fresh beet/fruit juice every day. I wish you thebest.

[mylaylay18]

@SimplyZeal Wow, that is great @ the Daniel fast. Although you're not joining in, it would still be nice to hear from you along the way since you're somewhat of an expert here due to experience :-) Thank you for the well wishes and talk to you soon! Much love!

[jerseygirl4267]

i definitely will keep in touch with you this is great experience and a wonderful journey as well as i try to fast twice a week

[mylaylay18]

@jerseygirl4267 Great! I think I'm fasting a bit too, just not officially. Maybe 1 day per week. Talk soon!

[mrsconversationpiece]

I'm in starting today 2/15/11

[mylaylay18]

@mrsconversationpiece Yay!!! That's GREAT!! Glad to know you're joining in and it's really nice to hear from you! I've heard of your nice jewelry from several loctubers :-). Hope you have your water today and looking forwarding to hearing from you along the way...talk soon Lady! Much love!

[renegodisable]

i would like to join you all in the water fast its only water correct no food?

[mylaylay18]

@renegodisable Hey there! You can eat whatever you choose, with water as your beverage :-) Glad that you're joining in!! Looking forward to hearing from you along the way :-)

[natureldiva]

Okay...thank you!

[mylaylay18]

@natureldiva You're welcome! Keep in touch!

[bronzz]

thats not hard...interesting..I'm i 2 late to start??

[mylaylay18]

@bronzz I know right?? Isn't this an easy goal? :-D...you're NEVER too late. No matter when you watch this video, you can still join in! :-)

[natureldiva]

Hi Mylaylay18, I know that I am 2 days late, but I would like to participate in this 30 day water only transformation...I think that it is a great and healthy choice!

[mylaylay18]

@natureldiva OF COURSE! You can start whenever you watch this video. However, if you're a few days late, you can just watch the current videos so that you're up to speed for the next round of videos.

[breathtaking09]

im doin it tooooo :) hopefully i can loose some damn weight :)

[mylaylay18]

@breathtaking09 Hey there! Nice to know you're joining in! If you are also incorporating exercise and food diet in this journey I think you're sure to lose some weight. If you're just focused on the water, you'll probably FEEL better and have a few detox symptoms at first before you start seeing the results. Looking forward to hearing from you along the way :-)

[93stephaniee]

H²Okay Mylaylay i'm in. Great idea and thanks for the challenge invitation. @vddavis 123 i was thinking the same.

[mylaylay18]

@93stephaniee Great!!! How's it going so far? Do you have all of the water you will need for the week? Hope you're enjoying your day. Talk soon!

[Krayoni]

I'm starting today...Better Late than never!

[mylaylay18]

@Krayoni I completely agree with you! Welcome to the journey :-)

[vddavis123]

i'm thinking that the glass either already had an undetectable crack in it...and maybe the spoon hit it while you were stirring the drink, causing it to gradually split apart...

[mylaylay18]

@vddavis123 That's a good guess..thing is, the glass was brand new, no cuts. Another thing is that this has happened before with a glass cup and the same mixture so it has to be the chemicals or something, ya know? Thanks for helping me think through this..thought my deck was haunted or something (j/k) lol. Talk soon!

[RoyalEleven2]

i do this all the time....kinda slacked off during christmas.....but i'm on board now!!!

[mylaylay18]

@RoyalEleven2 Me too! I was really good at always having at least 4 bottled waters until Christmas lol. Glad to know you've joined in and hope you're drinking your water :-) Keep me posted!

[tiffanyjay1211]

I'm with you....I've just recently went 2 weeks. So I'm on board again!

[mylaylay18]

@tiffanyjay1211 Wow, that's great! I hope that by the end of the journey, I won't even want anything other than water lol. I'm learning a lot during this "walk". Hope to hear from you along the way :-)

[MsMommyw2]

Hey mylaylay!! I more than excited to join you in this transformation. Good luck both of us!! :o}

[mylaylay18]

@MsMommyw2 Hey Lady! That's great! I hope you're enjoying the journey...so far so good with me. I picked up some more water last night and I'm good to go lol. Looking forward to hearing from you along the way!

[thecreativelady]

I am joining you. I was just thinking about Lent but this is right now! Wow! I'm in. Girl, you sure know how to challenge me! :-) This is going to require lots of strength. I must be realistic and know that I will probably have a soda depending on my meal. Some things I just need a carbonated drink with but I promise I will try to be 100%. OMG!

[mylaylay18]

@thecreativelady LOL - Yes!!! I think it will be easier than you think if you come prepared. Always have your water with you and you'll never have to worry about not having any when it counts. I LOVE juice and soda (and milkshakes, tea, etc.) but I can go a little overboard at times. I can drink 3 straight glasses of juice in an hour while it takes me an entire day to drink 3 glasses of water lol. Now, since I removed the tempting stuff, water is all I'm drinking and it's ALL GOOD! :-) TALK SOON

[afronique]

Okay so I decied to not have cereal this morning so I won't drink the milk. I'm adding to this the goal of drinking half my body wieght in oz of water so I want to make sure I drink at least 8 oz with each meal. I pretty much only drink water but not enough. I will comment on this video each day so I am held accountable. Thanks for the challenge.

[mylaylay18]

@afronique You are so welcome! Glad to see that you are READY for this one!!! I just felt that this is the time for us to cleanse...I will aim to post a video every day (or every few days) so we can continue to share our journey and learn from each other :-) I just posted a new video today too! Talk soon! :-)

[teddygirl52]

Girl, you are something else I mean that in a good way :o) I drink water, but not enough...needing to up my H2O 64 more oz. Me in....

[mylaylay18]

@teddygirl52 Aw, thanks Lady! lol I'm glad to know that you're joining in too!!! That's good. I've been meaning to increase my water intake too but with all the tempting drinks, I was getting full off juice and soda lol. So, the easiest thing to do was to remove the tempting drinks which left me with the REAL stuff :-) Looking forward to hearing from you along the way!

[Dequann987]

Hello! Mylaylay18. I started drinking nothing but water years ago in trying to slim down. soda's will make your stomach hang over. My only down fall is sometimez I drink soda's on the weekend and I need to stop doing that. I go strong all week long and the weekend I do bad.

[mylaylay18]

@Dequann987 Hi there!! You are so right about soda (beer too lol). I was doing really well not drinking soda but then I missed it lol. So, I allowed myself a few months to just splurge in all my favorite drinks and junk foods lol. Now, I'm ready to get it together again and get back on track. You're doing good if you're only challenged on the weekends though so pat yourself on the back! Keep in touch :-)

[qochemist]

I will do my best on this challenge...I still have some tempting items in the fridge and I cannot resist a glass of wine if I go out, but I do need to kick start my workout and healthier eating plan so let me sit here a minute and get myself together. This is always tough for me.

[thecreativelady]

@qochemist Hasn't she pulled our cards on this one? OMG Mylaylay18! I thought YOUR Use What You Have Challenge was tough! I'll try.

[mylaylay18]

@thecreativelady LOL!!!! Girllll, you just don't know lol.

[mylaylay18]

@qochemist Yay! That's great! Glad to know that you're joining in...this is a very good way to kick start your workout and healthier living plan..that's exactly why I'm doing it now. It's getting warm so I want to give my body time to adjust and get ready for all the spring and summer fun!!! Hope you have some time to check out the videos too because I will share things I learn, etc. Talk soon!

[MrCashAtHand]

Best Wishes!

[mylaylay18]

@MrCashAtHand Thanks friend!! Hope you're drinking your water too :-) I do remember your video on healthy living and I am deciding on the best way to incorporate some good information into my journey so that I can share...talk soon!

[MrCashAtHand]

@mylaylay18 Good deal!! I wish you the best in your transformation. Yes, I'm always drinking my water...LOVE IT!! Drink to your heart's content! CHEERS :-)

[mylaylay18]

@MrCashAtHand Yes! Cheers to you too!

[kokofemme]

Oooh gurl...this would truly be a challenge for me but I can TRY to do it with ya! Lord knows I need to work more diligently on cutting back on the sweets, sodas etc so thanks for the inspiration! Wow, that's crazy about the glass!

(✿◠‿◠) Kokofemme

[mylaylay18]

@kokofemme LOL - Koko - I hope that you've been doing well with your water journey! I'm still eating my sweets for now, just focused on beverages, which I think is the most important. I am a junk food JUNKIE lately. I was doing really good about 1.5 years ago with NO sweets and just healthy food and water. Then, I missed it and came back. Now, I'm ready to move on again lol. Talk soon! :-)

[mylaylay18]

Finishing up my LAST juice until March :-). I've enjoyed EVERY juice, soda, milkshake, alcoholic beverage, etc. Now, it's time to purify myself and to share my journey with you :-)...this would be EVEN more valuable if you JOIN IN! More details and thought-provoking questions and facts to come...stay tuned! Much love!

[shaggylocs7]

{{✡Shaggy✡קדש✡Locks✡ = 5✡✡☆✡✡ }}

[mylaylay18]

@shaggylocs7 Thanks Shaggy! Hope you're drinking your water :-)

[jerseygirl4267]

[mylaylay18]

@jerseygirl4267 That's GREAT!! Good to know that you'll be following along :-) You're way ahead of the game too since you've already stopped drinking juice and soda...this should be a breeze for you. Hope you keep in touch along the way :-D

[afronique]

I want to do this. I just bought some orange juice but, I should be able to freeze it.

[mylaylay18]

@afronique I have some OJ downstairs too. My hubby is drinking some of it and so are my pets lol. I LOVE OJ too! Glad to know you're still staying with the journey! :-)

[MITZZB]

I'm going to join you in this challenge. I'm going to use my daughters ipod to make my videos. This is a small sacrafice to put me on the road to eating more healthy. And I will admit I love my soy chai latte from starbucks but i've been trying to ween myself off ... thanks. see ya soon

[mylaylay18]

@MITZZB That's GREAT!! I hope you do find time to make your videos...it's a good addition to the journey and it's a way to keep yourself accountable. That's exactly what I was thinking too, looking for an easy way to get back on track with healthier living :-) Keep in touch!

[kareemtiheed]

Im just starting off small no sugar drinks or soda....

[mylaylay18]

@kareemtiheed That's a very good start! So, that leaves you with juice and milkshakes and tea :-)...hope you still keep in touch to share what you know about water or what you learn...talk soon!

[DollyMat]

I used to hate water but found when I started w/loss I couldn't get enough. When I'm not in that zone I find it hard to drink but may join u on this one. Good luck!

[mylaylay18]

@DollyMat Hey there! Nice to hear from you. Maybe if you start drinking the water, you'll be inspired to exercise? Just a thought. I am the same way with water...I drink a lot more when I'm active. When I'm sedentary, I don't drink as much. Lately, I've been drinking my water though and I feel so good about it. My next step after this journey will be exercise and food. Hope you do decide to join in and hope you keep in touch!

[EzraYisrael]

I'm in!

[mylaylay18]

@EzraYisrael Yay! How exciting :-) I hope you have your water ready...talk soon!!

[NzuriMahoganySoul]

O.k. maylalay I'm going to join you! Is this going to be ice water or room temp. water? Great video as always! :)

[mylaylay18]

@NzuriMahoganySoul Great! The water temperature is completely up to you. The point is to commit to only drinking water as the beverage with your meals...then, as we get into the 30 days I'll share things with you all that I've learned to keep us motivated, etc. :-)

[ruqayyah4]

maybe the break is from the wheat grass and metal spoon coming in contact with each other..........i don't know!

[mylaylay18]

@ruqayyah4 Hey! Nice to hear from you. This is pretty much the same thing I came up with so I guess it's the closest answer? lol I also thought that maybe the fiber in the glass expands and then cracks the glass. This isn't the first time I had this mixture in a glass where the glass just broke for no reason. lol

[MosaicMaiden]

I was sure that I had answered this post, good luck my Lady, this will do you good!:)

[mylaylay18]

@MosaicMaiden Thanks Lady! I know I will succeed. My biggest wish is for everyone to make it to the finish line with me! :-)

[danayparker]

humm~ did you just get the glass out of the dishwasher?

[mylaylay18]

@danayparker Nope, I didn't. I had just finished drinking a green superfood mixture.

[icunvme2005]

I'm in

[mylaylay18]

@icunvme2005 Great! Good to know you'll be joining me! Hope you have your water ready for the week :-)

[jsix4evr]

I think I'll join you on this journey....Sounds so healthy. The glass....hmmm.....I don't know... HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU TOO! =0)

[mylaylay18]

@jsix4evr Yay! How exciting to know you're on board!! I feel so much better internally already :-D Keep me posted!

[fatchickskinny]

When you say WATER ONLY do you mean without food? I've actually been considering a water only fast to kick start, what I'm considering, a personal healthier living challenge. Trying to get at least 20 days of some serious behavior and thought modification under my belt, before incorporating food again. In any event, I'm interested

[mylaylay18]

@fatchickskinny Thanks for your question! I made some updates to the title and description. Since this is the beginning, I'm just focusing on water only as the beverage that you drink with ANY food. After that 30 days, we'll move into specific foods/ingredients/etc. or whatever time tells :-)

[eniale4u]

Well I will have to say I'm in... because that is all I drink anyway!! lol I will have the occasional glass of wine... but i can cut that out for 30 days..

[mylaylay18]

@eniale4u LOL - I love a glass of wine every now and then too but the wine isn't going anywhere. As a matter of fact, IT ages well over time...we want our bodies to do the same so glad to know you're on board! :-)

[pinkangell3]

only water ?without food ?:D

is a temptasion for me too.

[mylaylay18]

@pinkangell3 LOL!! You can eat whatever you want for now :-)...that will be another step on the path :-)

[moormagic1]

Good idea!

[mylaylay18]

@moormagic1 Thank you! Glad to know you're watching! :-)

[MaSoulDeep]

So in!

[mylaylay18]

@MaSoulDeep Yes! Glad to know I'll have lots of company!! This is so motivating! :-)

[LocdNLovelyRita]

Youve got my support, I had to make myself fall in love with water to get away from all my delicious sodas and juices :0) good luck!

[mylaylay18]

@LocdNLovelyRita Thanks Lady! Falling in love with water is so easy to do...I'm looking forward to sharing my epiphanies :-) Hope all is well with you and Ebony :-D and the hubby!

[fischer3x3]

great work

[mylaylay18]

@fischer3x3 Ah, thank you :-)
