Hi - I've also heard that it's half of your weight in ounzes as well. I have always found it difficult to drink water. And I've also heard that if you are thirsty - it's too late and you are already somewhat dehydrated. I'm making a concerted effort to drink more anyway - it's good for your skin, hair, and intestines0

I NEVER used to get my water in! I was lucky if I got 8 oz in a day!! Im supposed to get 60oz a day !!!! The best thing I found was to put a straw in it! When I have a straw I find myself sipping constantly (especially when Im bored! Which also cut down on snacking when Im bored!) And I take water with me everywhere!! sometimes Im at the store or in the car or even at someones house and Im thirsty. If Im out I tend to buy soda or coffee/tea rather than pay for water. But if I have a bottle of water with me when Im thirsty I get that out instead.
Now that I get my recommended water (and am past the days of peeing every 2 mins and feeling sick because of the toxins flushing out) I will never NOT get all my water in !!!! I feel so good! So much energy! My stomach acid problems went away! I lost 10lbs in the first weeks I was getting my water it! It was great!
They say you need half your weight in ounces of water
And they say drinking caffiene deyhdrates your cells... so for every caffienated drink you should match that with more water!0 -

Can we please read the actual thread before we continue to post misinformation that has already been disproven?0 -

I really haven't come up with a great solution for this. I just work at drinking as much as I can. I'm buying those big jugs for hubby and me from bodybuilding.com and we are making the goal to fill those and drink 2 a day.0
