    Not sure if you are still going. Certainly easier in summer than winter &/or you count any liquid. I had a kidney transplant and was advised to drink 4-5 litres/day (~1gal). Apart from volume, easy enough spread over the day, my biggest problem was having to pee at 3am!!.
    I use any liquid as food item in MFP with most large mugs & glasses 300ml or cups/ small glasses 250 ml. I count tea, milk, coffee, diet drinks & water.
    Happy for anyone's idea. Metric (ml's) here in New Zealand than USA metric.

    @Machafin, You are doing really well! I can see on "10 days challenge" that your water consumption is helping you get closer to your goal!

    Haha, yeah I was thinking it was making a difference too! You're doing well also, keep it up!

    I like this challenge and it will it help me stay more mindful. I will only count plain water, sparkling water, and herbal tea. Coffee and diet Coke is NOT counted because that would be all I would drink if I allowed that. I use a water tracking app but I think actually posting it every day will be motivated to actually do a gallon a day. :)

    September

    1-Sep 136 oz.
    2-Sep 126 oz.
    3-Sep 114 oz.
    4-Sep 80 oz. *Weigh in days are hard because I don't start my day with my usual 24 oz.

    A gallon ... that's 3.8 litres ... how the hell does one drink 3.8 l a day??? If I have a very, very good day, I make it to 2 l, but that's rare. Also, I spend all day going to pee if I do that.
