    She does have a good point though!

    As for the water--the idea of needing to drink X number of glasses is outdated/unnecessary. Drink when you're thirsty. In general, pale urine means that you are dehydrated but I wouldn't be too fussed about checking that on an ongoing basis as long as you feel good/not thirsty. I do notice that I lose more weight on weeks when I drink more water but, at the same time, I'm generally more active during those weeks (working up more of a thirst) so I'm burning more calories.

    I think it's dark urine that means you're dehydrated. The lighter your urine, the more hydrated you are. I always shoot for clear urine.


    You're absolutely right. I wrote that wrong. I just corrected it in my original post.

    We love you jemhh. .sometimes around turned get all We ;)

    Aw shucks.

    I had read that 8 eight ounce glasses of water was the intake required for a person of regular BMI and I am obese so the app on my phone calculated it for my weight. Maybe I'll scale back though.

    Also I didn't know that all fluids count, I thought all other beverages were extra lol hey I'm learning

    Also remember that anything you drink counts as fluid, so if you have an 8 oz. cup of coffee or a 12 oz. can of soda, that counts too.

    You cant really go by urine color as other things (not just hydration) can cause urine to be darker or lighter.

    Make sure you don't have kidney problems(or pregnancy!), otherwise it's fine
    P.S. Last March I started counting calories, exersising and stuff. I kept feeling swollen and heavier, so it turned out I was pregnant (only 3 weeks)

    Congratulations.
    But that will delay a weight loss program.! ;)

    Haha This is true when you take B vitamins amongst others, it's quite a shock when you turn around and see bright neon yellow in the loo :lol:
