So people have been telling me I need to be drinking more water. 8 glasses today!!! Woot! And it's only 3:30 - I plan to run tonight so I'll need more hydration then. I'm hoping this helps with my weirdo gaining weight backness.


....sure am peeing a lot....

:tongue:

    Aside from the obvious health benefits to drinking plenty of water, I think it's suggested so that the more you drink the more often you have to get up to pee, which must burn extra calories :tongue:

    I just get sick of it after awhile. And water is sooooo boring tasting.

    Eventually you won't have to pee as often. Your body will adjust to the amount of water that it becomes used to receiving! So...something to look forward to. Not sure how long it takes...probably different for everyone. But, there are people who naturally have the urge to pee more often too. So, who knows!:wink:

    Yes, drinking 8+ glasses of water a day burns more calories! :wink: The extra calories are burned when you get up to walk to the bathroom that many more times! :laugh:

    Water is my best friend ever! I drink AT LEAST 8 glasses every day. I never understand how people have a hard time drinking it because I feel like it is a necessity for me..haha! Maybe I am weird! I feel like every time i eat something I need to drink plenty of water with it. I also drink soda though...but mostly water!

    If you want to spice up water, try crystal light! It's yummy....the to go packs are kind of expensive though so try and make it by the pitcher!

    WOO HOO! GO WATER! :):)

    I <3 the taste (or...non-taste? - I SWEAR it has a taste) of water, just not the peeing - lol - and I agree, that must be why you burn more calories!
    :laugh:
