at first it is hard to drink it, but I got off soda and am now a "Bottle Baby". My 1 quart bottle goes everywhere with me.One thing they say do not leave your bottles in the car as it changes the composition of the plastic and leaks carsengens (SP?) into your water. so it goes everywhere. I am constantly sipping out of it until the water is gone.
Useally by mid day I need a fill up or a new bottle. I use the 1 Quart bottles. there are 32 ounces,or 4-8cups servings per bottle. 4 cups to a Quart right? if you drink just one you have 4 times your 8 ounces that day. Most recommended is at least 2- 3 of those bottles a day. by the end of the day after sipping, and using it at mealtimes and snacks I have had 2 quarts or 64 ounces of water consumed that day.
GOOD LUCK!!:drinker:

I got a BPF or what ever the letters are :blushing: free plastic one also have some stainless steel ones. My best is a go to glass at home that holds 16oz. Ive made a game with the kids on helping me remember to log my water and keep moms glass full once its empty. No they are like mom hurry up and drink I want to get you another glass or I want to make another on drank. Once I bit the bullet so to speak and downed 100oz in one day (many many bathroom runs :blushing: ) Now Its like my body craves it and I am always thirsty for water. I have cut out pop and my sweet tea :sad: something I thought I could never do. Dont really miss it to much.

Great job!

I think this is a great challenge! I don't have problems drinking the water, but I wanted to encourage you guys a little. When I first started a while ago, the only water I could stand drinking was the flavored water. As I kept with it and increased my water intake, I slowly started getting rid of the flavoring and I only use it occasionally now. It's a process, and everyone needs to take their time and see what works for them.

I drink water like a fish.

Just a helpful suggestion (take it or leave it):
When I first started upping my water, I hated water... HATED. So I made it a process and now it's just what I do... paperwork *water* computer work *water* in the car *water* lol.

The Process:

At every main meal drink an 8 oz glass BEFORE, an 8 oz glass DURING, an 8 oz glass AFTER. 3 meals a day x 3-8 oz glass = 9.

Overtime that became a minimum for me. Don't worry, you won't float away, and yes, you will pee a lot, but I assure you, the body adjusts.

I am not joining your challenge because I would float away LOL. I drink 64 to 128 oz daily. I wanted to give a suggestion to help those having problems getting it in. Buy a 64 oz clear water bottle with a top you like drinking from. Yeah that sounds weird but I like a sports bottle top and just the opening weirds me out to drink from. Fill up the entire days worth of water and add in the amount of MIO or crystal light or whatever it is. Bring it every where with you and sip from it throughout the day. Drinking more just before meal times or while working out. It helped me go from almost no water all the way up to that 128 oz some days. Also when I am bored and think that I might want to snack that is when the water bottle is great I drink from that and 20 minutes later if I am still hungry I look for a healthy snack. Good luck drinking more water.

Thanks for the suggestion! I used to have one of those bottles. I put it in the freezer and it started leaking -ohoh -- it was old, though. I use a bottle that holds about 3 glasses' worth and try to carry it with me all day. I'll have to try that suggestion for when I am hungry. That should help me. Thanks again!!
