    Day 13 - 6 cups. I really need to get on top of this. It's just the frequency of needing to go to toilet that keeps putting me off. I hope my body gets used to this extra fluid soon.

    I've started filling a gallon pitcher with water, 1 sliced cucumber, 1 sliced lemon, freshly grated ginger and mint leaves. I leave it in the refrigerator overnight and drink the whole gallon throughout the next day. It equals about 16 glasses of water and is surprisingly easy to do! Plus it has so many added nutrients from the add-ins. Good luck everyone!

    I like drinking a cup of water in the morning and a cup of water in the evening before I go to bed. I feel so much better when I do that.

    I will start tomorrow. 8 glasses/day for 30 days. I am getting PRK, which is similar to Lasik, in April and they say that hydration is a key component to a successful and speedy recovery. I drink like 4 cups a week. Not good. I need to drink more and now is the perfect time so here I go. Thanks for starting this.

    I've been trying to do this for a fortnight and I've only hit 8 cups a few times. I'm going to start again tomorrow and aim for 7 days to start with.
    So staring tomorrow I'm aiming for 8 cups a day for one week.

    After losing 40 lbs with mfp and gaining back some I'm back to shed the extra weight again. I'd have to say my number one problem is not drinking enough water. Or really drinking anything. I've downloaded an app to help keep more on track and accountability groups are the best too. My daily goal is 75oz. I've hit the mark day 1 and 2. Lets do it day 3!!!

    You are supposed to drink 64 oz a day. That's 8-8oz cups=8 cups
    8*8=64 oz.

    Actually that depends a lot. There are a variety of water goals out there now, based on age, sex, weight, activity level etc.

    8 - 8 ounce glasses of water a day equals 64 ounces. I have a big super insulated cup that is 64 ounces. I fill it up in the morning and make sure that I drink it all each day. Something to remember though...you get liquids from more than JUST water. Food, vegetables, fruits, coffee, etc. And there is such a thing as TOO much water!

    Been looking inti this today, since I have just used the MFP unit cup as if it is 1 deciliter, and I found out it sync to my fitbit stupidly wrong.

    1 oz = 0,295735296875 deciliter
    1 cup/glas = 8 oz = 2,365882375 deciliter

    The cups in my house for water is 3 and 4 deciliter, so it is not playing nice together.

    Until MFP fix the water unit into something that work for us metric users, I'll be using fitbit for my water tracking, then at least one of them will be correct.

    And, btw, I am in for the challenge!

    Day 1 (take 2)
    14 cups.
    I am pretty amazed that I've had so much to drink today especially after attempting to do this challenge since march the 1St and only managing 8 cups a couple of times (hence the take 2). I remembered today that you can log water on here and I think that really helped keep me accountable today :smiley:
