Water
 

How much water do you drink daily? :cheers:

I drink about 1 gallon a day and boy oh boy, am I headin' for the bathroom towards the end of the day:o

4-6 liters, every day.

I have 24 oz bottle that I carry with me all the time and I try to get through at least 4 a day.

I drink anything from 5 - 10 pints a day depending on how thirsty I am. And yep, I practically live in the bathroom :lol:

Hugs,

Water is important
 

I was amazed, but the more water you drink, the more weight you loose. I guess that's why the experts keep telling us to drink water. I discovered this (luckily) early on, when I had one week of low water consumption and then the following week of enormous water consumption. The 1st week 1 1/2 lbs lost; the 2nd week 7 lbs lost. I find that I always do much better, though 7 lbs is extreme, in the high water consumption weeks. :D Drink as much as you can ~ (some days you'll feel as though your kidneys are floating, but its soooo worth it).

The line between hydrated and dehydrated for me is a fine one. When I'm dehydrated, I get dizzy. When I'm really dehydrated, I have a pulsing sound in my inner ear when I turn my head plus being dizzy.

Minimal intake is 60 oz, not including my morning tea or 1-2 caffeine-free sodas in the evening.

I like to hit 80oz during the day. Makes me wear a path to the little girls' room, but I feel better.

When I exercise, I drink about 16oz average additional water for every 30minutes (especially if it's outside summer bicycle riding). I've been known to consume over 72oz on a 25mile ride (a little over 2 hour ride), and then drink another 72oz after the ride. I didn't mention that I sweat like a piggie (as the saying goes).

BTW, I have to make a conscious effort to drink water! If I were only that way with food...... *sigh*

100 ounces a day, as recommended by both my nutritionist and surgeon.

I'm the rare case of drinking relatively no water -- at the beginning of my change, I drank the default 64 oz, but that only lasted 2 weeks. I'm just not a big water fan. I do drink alot of diet pop though -- and crystal light. Water consumption never seemed to have any effect on my weight loss. I can't imagine myself forcing down X oz of water every day for the rest of my life. I'm not undermining its importance, but everyone has to find what works for them and what they can live with.

Hmmmmm. I'm not sure about the liters and pints conversions. I drink 80 - 100 ounces. I guess I could drink more but if I eventually do, it will be a gradual increase.

I TRY to get 64 oz in. Water isn't my thing. I'll drink more if it has lemon in it. I do drink lots and lots of iced tea year round.

I am horrible about water... we have well water and I think it tastes nasty. Can't afford bottled water. But have had more than one Doc in the past tell me , I can do crystal light as a replacement, not as good for me but if that is all I will drink then do it. SOOOO Since I seen this post , I been reminded I have not been drinking it as much as I should so this morning I left the soda in the box ( I hate warm soda) and fillled my sports drink bottle with CL. And made a new container of it as well... I've drank about 20 ozs so far this morning and even had breakfast... I plan on drinking at least 2 more of my sports bottles of CL today if not more. I am not a big drinker of anything n general.

THANKS! for the reminder to drink healthier!

Sing together, everybody!

i shoot for 4 litres a day. I usually get about 3 and then a tea/water mix with dinner..

I usually have from 4-5 liters. I love water and have it with every meal except for breakfast. I sometimes will squeeze a bit of lemon into it just for a little kick.

I carry around a 25.7 fl.oz. bottle with me. I freeze it each night and drink that, then refill it and drink it again. Sometimes I add a Crystal Light On The Go to mix it up.

I can't count the ounces... it just doesn't work for me, I can't remember, I don't want to have to check ounces all day. Counting calories is enough work for me. What I've done instead is to cut out caffeinated beverages (well, mostly... some days I have ONE cup of coffee) and try hard to drink water whenever I'm thirsty. A lot of times when I think I'm hungry I drink some mineral water and realize... hey, I was actually thirsty, not hungry. I'm probably drinking 64 oz. or more a day, but I guess you could say I'm an intuitive drinker.

ok ok all this water weight stuff got to me.. that and walking thru Walmart and seeing the breast cancer awareness 1 liter water bottles.. I bought one yesterday and have almost drank 2 liters today... WOW that is a first for me.. I really am one of those rare water drinkers.. But I thought about it and I want to be healthier and I am bound and determined to be skinnier. For some reason it is easy to drink it down today.. Maybe I good day?? I hope everyone else is doing well.. not sure how much I will end up drinking.. but I am making a start and some is better than none.

I too add Crystal Lite. Actually, I dilute it, and have a great big gallon jug in the fridge. Then I tap it, and tap it, and tap it....

So, I really don't know how much I drink, but I'm sure it's more than a gallon a day!

I started out with 48oz a day to ease myself into it, so I wouldn't spend half the day in the potty.

I have always done so much better when I have been drinking a ton of water.. You could really tell in my losses when I had all the water I needed.

I just need to get back in the habit of having that at every meal..

:) I usually drink around 64 oz. or so each day, it really helps with the weight loss! I didn't realize it until I had a week of not drinking very much and only losing 1.5 pounds, and the week after, drinking the 64 oz. and losing 4 pounds.

i aim for 5-6 litres a day. half the time I get there, the other half I will get about 3 litres in. Today is a 6 litre day!

Ok, after reading all this, I am chug, chug, chug.....gulp, girgle, chug, chug!

A gallon or so. I don't keep track as well as I should. My cup holds 32oz and I drink between 4 and 6 of those a day.
