100 lb. Club - Water #4

Hi all. Still working to put away as much H20 as I can but usually coming up short. I'm working on it anyway. So how is everyone doing with their water?

Not too great. But I am going to try this weekend, which is usually my hardest time.

choked down a gallon yesterday!

Drinking, drinking, drinking.....during the week I average 110 oz a day. Weekends are harder but I am trying. Will need depends so I can go out on the weekends.

Though I did manage to drink some water this weekend..wasn't nearly enough. I drank so much coffee and some beers on Saturday..am bloated. TOM doesn't help either. :(

But today..gonna chug that water.

Ok, my water intake SUCKS!!!

I haven't been able to drink anything. I did make some cool-aid with splenda. It was great!! I will do that more often. It makes drinking something easier. I will still be drinking my water, but I need a break every once and a while!!

Hope everyone else is doing good.

My weigh in at WW today was sad, a gain of .2 and I know why. My water intake has been worse than pathetic.

Okay so this is a new week and my goal today is to drink down 1/2 gallon.

Let you know how I do.

I'm a newbie and my water intake is never enough. I know it fills you up and washes away toxins, but will it help me to lose weight as well? Need guidance. Going to have a big cup now. Thanks!

Managed 136 oz. yesterday. It makes such a difference. I know some of my gain yesterday was water!!

got down almost 1/2 gallon yesterday, the other 1/2 will be for today.

I got in about 3.5 quarts yesterday, working on my full gallon today :)

Redvelvet..Believe me, water is the one of the most important key factors to losing weight. Ask anyone who has lost alot of weight, and they all say the same thing..

WATER, WATER, WATER.

I lost 62 lbs last year, and I kept swearing by the water...can't go wrong with it.

Tuesday...136 oz.
Wednesday...128 oz. (drank 20 oz. right before bed to make my goal!! :))

Okay, I'm bringing this back up and I am committing to really, really, really, really working hard at getting my water intake increased.

How's everyone else doing? :shrug:

Doing well today, so far have drank well over 1/2 gallon, better than I've done in ages :D

Okay.. I've been in the states for 4 years and I'm still confused about your measuring system! (you should see me at the deli - I always ask for a bunch :lol: ) - I was born and raised in Canada, btw.

how many oz in a quart.. and a gallon.

a quart is smaller then a gallon, right?

I so much prefer the metric system!! I am trying though.. my goal is 96 oz of water..

yesterday I did 76.. a big improvement :)

Hey:)

There are 32 ounces in a quart.
Four quarts = 1 gallon (128 ounces).

I try to get about a gallon of water/day.... More when it's warmer outside, or my activity level is up, as I tend to need it so much more.

Here's a neat site that has helped me with measurements:

Dana - the metric system is comparable to imperial in a lot of ways. A litre is about the same size as a quart and 4 litres is about a gallon. I refer to my water intake in imperial because we have more Americans here than not so it just makes it easier for everyone to understand if we use the same measurements.

Jen -
that's so sweet of you to keep it simple for us backwards Americans...


:lol:

I am trying myself!! I just need to excerise more. I drank 60oz of water so far today!

Had a disappointment at WW, lost .8 but was expecting more. friday was not a good day point wise. I didn't even journal but I think it was at least 40-50. Yikes! Well water wise I was doing well until friday and then it went down hill. I'm chugging away today though. Trying to make up for the past 2 days.

Jen.. I have been having a real tough weekend too.. I am doing everything I can to stay within points today. Friday and Saturday I went over by about 10 each day.. ouch. There is no real reason why... I just wanted to eat!

still drinking water.. gulp gulp.. but need much more. I was doing about 70 oz/day this week.. but this weekend I probably have done only about 30-40 each day :(
Sounds funny to say.. but I need this long weekend to be over!
