    Does anyone know whether drinking sparkling water counts as getting your 8 cups of water a day?

    I would say yes. The base is water. It's not soda. I use Crystal Light in my water.

    Welcome aboard!

    I was just wondering about that and found this site on the community message board. For a change of pace from drinking plain water, I've begun to drink quart sized bottles of flavored sparkling water and flavored seltzer. Even though there are no calories and no sodium in both, are they good for your stomach? :drinker:

    I would argue anything carbonated isn't great but it all counts in the end. I know that the carbonation can't be digested, you have to burp it out. It also makes your belly bloated too, but I would think it could help some people feel fuller.

    Hi,
    SOOO sorry I haven't been monitoring my own challenge the past couple days. Things have been VERY hectic with planning a bridal shower I am hosting this Saturday. You all are doing wonderfully with your water intake!!! Keep it up...we need to keep our bodies healthy!

    Here's where I've been at the last couple days.

    5/1 -- 4 glasses
    5/2 -- 4 glasses.

    I wasn't going to do this b/c I normally drink 8 glasses a day, but I figure I could always increase my 10 days.

    I'm not doing so good today...3 coffee and a large sugar free iced coffee. Just one water.

    That's what I've chosen to do myself, use this challenge for accountability to be sure I get plenty in with the humidity here and all and push myself to drink more B/D/A workouts!:drinker:

    I'd like to be in this please. I have a real job to get 8 glasses in daily. I'm trying to cut back on tea and coffee and hoping to replace it with water and gradually increase my intake - I'm beginning to feel the benefit but could certainly use some motivation to help me.
    May 2 - 5 glasses
    5/3 - only 4 today, sooo busy :ohwell:
    Must try harder!

    Even though it was flavored water, it was humid today and I did a deep house cleaning and just craved the water.

    Unbelievable! Just curious -- do you go to the bathroom a lot during the day, or has your body gotten used to the increased water intake?

    Herbal tea counts and can even be more beneficial with antioxidants and cleansing herbs. Be careful not to drink TOO much water! This is possible and can put dangerous pressure on your kidneys. 12 glasses would not be advisable for everyone. The key is just to maintain a very light coloured urine - as soon as it darkens you know you are dehydrated.

    Good advice!
