    yes just stick to it!
    when you start to feel like you are falling just tell your self you are doing this for you.

    It has been a mind thing for me. I have just told myself that i can have anything i want but if i do who is it hurting (if it is bad for me) it is me that I am hurting.

    Count your calories and listen to everyone on here that gives advice I have only been on here for about 2 months but they have helped me when i start to fall. Just tell yourself you can do it. it will happen for you if you want it!!!!!

    Course we'll have someone give us the exact rules :drinker:

    But for now.....let us BEGIN:drinker: I'l check back in with ya later Chickie:flowerforyou:

    ok, and just so you know......are you sittin down?:laugh: I drink at least 10-12 24 oz. bottles a day...usualy more like 15-24oz'ers.....

    So we'll make a great team....it's true what they say.....many folks DO get used to drinking more water and don't have to go as often... that's how it for me. :noway: But once I slow down on my water intake, I pee more when I start again to increase it until my body is adjusted again...

    So hang in there the peeing for most will not be such a intrution if we keep it up regularly.:drinker: :drinker:

    Well. So far, so good. 100oz. (at least) of water down (and probably 70oz. out :ohwell: ) so far today. Now I'm waiting for The Biggest Loser to record a little bit more. I let it record and then about half-way through, I'll start watching the recording so I can fast forward throught the commercials. I plan to down at least another 20oz. bottle before the show is over. :smile:

    I know exactly how you feel. I used to rarely drink anything during the day. Never thought I really had the time to stop what I was doing just to take a drink of water. But now...really, I honestly crave water! I always have a water bottle with me and when there's not one with me, I'm wondering where the hell I left it. :laugh: I think one of the reasons why I never drank much was how I was raised. I remember the sitter giving us a small tupperware cup of kool-aid at meal times and warning us that that was all we would get. She got very angry if we asked for more. I learned to really drag out my drinks so it would last the whole meal. My parents were the same way. That always stuck with me. Totally doesn't make sense to me now why they would do that. My 8yr. old drinks just about as much water as I do. Heck, it's free! :happy:

    I started by using the to-go packets like Crystal Lite (actually my fave is the Walmart brand - Great Value - of peach tea. I'm slowly weaning myself off of the stuff now and doing really well. Now I save it for dinner times, but the rest is just plain water. You can do it too!

    You guys are all doing great! You are really drinking that water!

    I would just like to remind everyone that, while water intake is important, electrolyte balance is just as-if not more--important. The water we drink is not the only water we take in--all of the food we eat contains water as well. The less caloric it is (like fruits and veggies), the more water it contains. Since I know you're all eating a lot of veggies, you're getting a TON of water. While you're not risking serious illness since it's spaced throughout the day, you are risking losing potassium and sodium from urinating so frequently. There's really no need to drink so much water that you're urinating several times an hour, and at that point, you're doing more harm than good.

    If you're drinking that much water, you need to watch your sodium and potassium levels. The RDA for sodium for the average person is 2400mg. If you engage in prolonged physical activity that causes you to sweat a lot, you'll need more than that to replenish it. The RDA for potassium is 2000 mg, and you'd need more than that as well if you're sweating hard for an hour or more a day. If you experience unusual cramping, weakness, diarrhea, or decreased urination despite the high levels of water ingested, you should decrease your water intake and increase your electrolyte intake. Chronically low electrolytes will result in serious health problems.

    I don't want to ruin the fun, I am just putting this out there to keep everyone healthy! :flowerforyou:
