@eminator, A gallon of water every day truly is not necessary. It can deplete you of essential electrolytes. Drinking that much water is valuable for rehydration if you have been dehydrated for a while, or for flushing excess water from your system. If you feel hungry between meals, drinking water will fill you up. Your body shows you if you need more water through your urine color. Pale yellow, hydrated, clear, too much hydration, anything from dark yellow to brown, get out the gallon bottle! If you take B vitamins, your urine will be yellow, but an artificial looking yellow. When I was younger, everyone followed, drink half your body weight in water to assist weightloss. That could be too much also.
Learn your thirst cues. If you feel thirsty, don't ignore it. Notice urine color, your skin, is it dry? Bodyaches, your kidneys. If they have a feeling of achiness, drink more water. All fluids count, as long as they are mostly water and not full of milk, sugar, etc. Black coffee, green tea. Pure water is essential. No more than 16 ozs/ 470 ml an hour.

@eminater, I am sorry about that typo in your username. I didn't catch it. I DO know it but I think my phone has memorized it and changes it sometimes.

eminater

@tiabirdie56 thanks, no problem ... it seems that there is no where actually active (except you and me! ) to post about water! The other challenge group seems to have fizzled out very quickly

tiabirdie56

@eminater, Thank you for being understanding. Well we can post to each other here on this thread to be accountable. But, I don't think it's necessary to drink a gallon of water everyday. Let your thirst and your body command. For me, the amount of water needed varies each day, depending on other fluid intake and whether I have eaten vegetables or fruit full of water, the ambient temperature and how much I sweat during exercise. People are odd about drinking water. Some want to drink it and just don't drink enough. Some people actually hate drinking water, which is really peculiar. They see it as a good idea to track their water intake, join a challenge, then don't do it. Same with exercise.

16/06 - 3.4 l
17/06 - 3.75 l ✅
18/06 - 4.25 l ✅ (but I feel I drank too much, if that's possible).
19/06 - 3.5 l
20/06 - 3.75 l ✅
21/06 - 3.25 l
22/06 - 4.0 l ✅
23/06 - 4.0 l ✅
24/06 - 2.75 l
25/06 - 3.5 l

I'll keep posting here then - since that also motivates me to track my water on the app. Maybe someone else will join us ... who knows

I am trying to keep up! Not quite 1 gallon today, but close. I purchased water delivery for the family yesterday because our water tastes like, ya know, kitten!!

@L1zardQueen, Lol. What in the world is kitten? I've seen it on other MFP members posts. I'm not in that loop.

For 25 years, I had spring water delivered to my home. We had well water, but I didn't trust it. Now we are on municipal water and it tastes and smells like chlorine. I now use a purifier.

Close is great! If you've read my other posts on water, you know that I don't think it's necessary to consume a gallon on a daily basis. I drink a gallon to force a breakthrough when I haven't been drinking enough. If I get up to 80 ozs every day, I'm good, but if I can't even manage a half gallon of water for more than 4 days in a row, I need that breakthrough level.

Thanks for the company and good luck! Note: If your urine is colorless, you're drinking too much water. It should be a pale yellow.

"Kitten" is MFP"S cuss word. Our water, here in San Diego, is heavily chlorinated, so I just started getting our drinking water delivered. Cheers
