I've been drinking half of my body weight in ounces of water..i notice right when i drink water, i use the bathroom 5 minutes later. My urine is almost close to a pale yellow, but i'll admit that sometimes it's hard to determine the shade when my multivitamin is neon yellow. :p LOL

What i'm wondering is..is that the water i just drank or the excess water?
Tired of the many trips to the bathroom today..ahh! :(

Sorry if it's a dumb question.. :p

    Glass of water --> GI tract --> blood --> kidneys ---> bladder ---> pee
    there are no closed compartments. you will pee all the water your body doesn't need.

    Just drink less. This drink tons of water malarky has very little basis in science or common sense yes sometimes it's worth drinking some more to flush excess salt but other than that listen to your body. Your body has a perfectly good way of telling you it needs water it's called thirst. You get a huge amount of water via your food also the 8 glasses of water a day is just a total myth it's just a number plucked out of thin air

    It's worth it to me, especially once I started noticing the water weight coming off.
