Ok I just read on the "water weight" thread about how you've heard it said and kind of stick to yourself, that we should drink about 1/2 our body weight in water...? Hmmm, for ME thats alot of water! lol. I right now weigh 298 and that would be 149 oz a day of water for me! Is that right? I generally try to drink about 124 oz of water a day, but even that has been alot for me to get in in a day lately:blushing: The thing is...you have done sooo well and lost so much weight, I tend to take what you say VERY seriously lol. Not that I dont listen to what others say on here, because I do , but for me its like when Fitness_Chick speaks, I listen!!:happy: Please advise on the water situation for me...:blushing:

I've actually heard the same thing about drinking half your body weight in water. Seems like a lot, but I do best when I get close to that amount of water in...0

Hrm, I am also concerned. :ohwell: I drink 64oz a day, like suggested - but I should be drinking closer to 100oz. Crap thats a lota water. :noway:

I'm on my way out the door to workout, when I get back home I'll address this thread.........
in the meantime....let's us all a drink:drinker: and then another :drinker: and then another:drinker: ....
I go by that method of 1/2 your body weight...it works for me, do I ALWAYS get it ALL in each day? no, but I try my very best....in the Summer, no problem...now that it's much colder...I have to really push myself.
I say...do the very best you can just as you do with your eating plan....and don't beat yourself up when you don't get all your water in.... it's a goal to set....there are some that only drink a couple of cups of water a day....so for those I say...push hard to get at least another glass in each day and work up to 8, some may never be able to reach 1/2 their body weight if they struggle to drink water in general.
Noni....I DO understand it seems like alot....because I'm drinking more than you....so I do understand it seems like alot.........but it sure feels good to drink my water..
oops...I said I was leaving, now I am....I'll catch up more when I get back, promise!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -

Wow, awesome!!! If I remember right, your ticker this morning was 186 lbs...... so you've lost another 12 lbs?! That is fantastic!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!! I can't imagine how it feels to be SO close to -200 lbs. GREAT JOB!0

Fitness Chick, Your such an inspiration! I wish I had the stamina you have had in this!!!
Regarding the water though,
I was told by my doctor that drinking too much water could eventually poison your system. I am a huge water freak and I drink almost 100 oz a day. I am 6'1 and weighed about 300 at the time and he told me that I was killing myself with all that water.
I would suggest consulting with your doctors before drinking so much water.0 -
I have heard of water poisoning...but I was under the impression that it only was an issue IF you drink all that (like 100 ozs) ALL IN ONE SITTING. Spread out throughout the day, I cant possibly see how it would be poisoning your system???:noway:
BTW-Way to go Fitness_Chick on your great loss!!!:drinker: :drinker:

I took a weight training class in college (for my PE requirement), and the one thing he told us that has stuck with me almost 10 years later....the first thing you should do every morning is drink a glass of water! :drinker:0
