I'm trying to drink more water so I thought a challenge would be a great way to reach my goal! My goal is 64 oz plus every day!

    I have been doing about a gallon a day for a few years since it does help some with joint pain. Water, coffee and tea is all I drink now and plain.

    Welcome to MFP @niz84 and @falconfady .

    @falconfady I know what you mean but I think it's because our bodies aren't used to it yet.

    Learn about electrolytes so you do not pee out your brains. :) Yes water can be toxic so Google and double check any "facts" you are given in person/social media/etc. The body can adapt to many things but do not rush it. In my case it took about 90 days to get comfortable living in nutritional ketosis if you plan to go that route. Some do it very fast and others may that 6 months+. There is no reason to rush but I say it was 6 months before walking up a steep hill was easy to do but remember I had little muscle in my pre LCHF way of eating days.

    I usually try to get 64 ounces a day of just water. I try to start early in the morning so I've met my goal by 3pm, then I have no worries about getting up a gazillion times to go to the bathroom at night. lol

    I've been upping my water the last few weeks. I use an app on my phone called Plant Nanny. It's cute and keeps me motivated to watch my plant grow. I love the notification, it says "You and your plant can use some water" Too cute.

    I bought a MyHydrate bottle. It only hold 22ounces which is small, but it beeps if you don't drink for an hour. I call it The Boss! It reminds me to drink when I get so caught up in working. I hear that beep and I drink! Plus the smaller size gets me more steps to go to the cafeteria to fill it 3-4 times when at work.
