  • LOL i know the feeling. After a week or so of consuming the recommended water, you'll slow down having to go... your body is flushing all the retained water out and the toxins. it's kinda like having an oil change. It'll quit feeling so often after a week. :)
  • I drink water all day every day.. including night time. Your body wil adjust to it and you won't be visiting the restroom as often.

    I recently gave up diet coke, I know how you feel.. just keep drinking water when your body calls for it.. Just my opinion.

    I thought I'd be adjusted by now b/c it's been a few weeks but really I have to go all the time!

    I'm so used to drinking huge amounts of water, that my cutoff is midnight and I'm just fine sleeping through the night, however if I go over 20 glasses of water I usually will have to take a middle of the night pee regarless of cut off time.

    my fiance makes fun of me for always having to go to the bathroom
  • Just give it some more time i guess? when i dont drink the normal amount of water i usually drink then after a few days i get back on track i visit the bathroom every single second! so just stick to drinking itand your body will be use to it.. how long have u been starting this?

    Totally agree. Keep going, it gets way easier to consume the amount of water you need!
    Honestly, water is one of the most important keys to weight loss.
    Can I offer some advice? Use a water bottle (750-1000ml) and make it a goal to drink one in the morning, one in the afternoon and another one at night. Add a forth for during/after a workout. It totally works!!!
  • 5pm or else i would be getting up at midnight going to the bathroom, water stays in my system hours after im finished drinking

    The water intake? For about 3-4 weeks I think....I did have a soda every few days in the beginning but now I don't even want it:) had one a few weeks ago & it was too sweet.....and I don't drink the real thing
