Water, water & more water...

I bought a 64 oz reusable water bottle over the weekend to help me keep track of just how much water I am drinking. I drank 128oz (1 gallon) today!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I was drinking a lot of water before, but no where near what I needed to be. You all should get one!:drinker:

    I have one of those too and it works perfectly because you fill it up twice, then you know once you finish both bottles, your water intake is done for the day!!! :happy:

    I buy the 1 ltr Aquafina bottle. And reuse it over and over again. Wash it every couple of days (yes, I know that's disgusting, but it truly isn't usually empty!) Then, I buy a new one in a couple of weeks. I like this size, because it has a big mouth and I can chug a lug! Easy to keep track of how much I drink, 4 of them is a gallon!

    I had the big 64oz reusable ... it got me all depressed. It was too big. It looked to overwhelming for me. So I stick to 16 oz at a time

    I think I'd be overwhelmed with it also... I've seen them and keep thinking about getting one.

    I bought a Fuze beverage (back when they still used glass bottles) I use that bottle over and over again. I like it because It is two glasses per bottle and at work we have a water cooler so it gives me a reason to get up and avoid "Secretary Butt". :laugh:

    Water bottles give me the heebie-jeebies-- don't ask me why-- and the water always tastes like plastic. I have an insulated plastic mug that works well enough-- keeps it cold a long time-- I think it's 16 ounces. Still, the water absorbs the taste of the plastic after a while.

    (thanks for the topic, though-- I just asked my 6 year old to go fill up Mommy's mug with ice water while I type-- I come here when I need a break to help me stay awake-- )

    When I started I knew that water was key....So I set out 4 16 oz bottles on the kitchen table each nite before bed. If it was 9 pm and all of them still there, I better get to drinking. Took about a week to get into the groove.

    Now I have 1 bottle and fill it 5 to 6 times from my filter pitcher (saw it on Biggest Loser)

    Try a Klean Kanteen (you can search for it on the web)! They are stainless steel, and the water tastes so clean - none of that plastic taste. And they stay pretty cold as well. I got mine after being concerned about plastics and I LOOOOOOOOOVE it! They have lots of different sizes - I think the 27oz (800ml) one is convenient, but there are bigger ones. They even have little ones for kids. :flowerforyou:

    Its rare that you see me without my 1 lrt bottle of Dasani. I refill it from the cooler at the club, then toss away after a few days. I've always been one who likes to drink a lot of water :drinker:
