    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!

    If you're having problems drinking water, try adding a flavor packet. That helps me lots!

    Hi *big wave*
    I'm new to the boards but spotted this thread and HAD to join in. I'm utterly useless at drinking water. I can go several days before I realise I've had none and only then because I'm starting to feel unwell. I've managed to get up to around 2 glasses a day since I started MFP so I'm challenging myself to get up to 4 this month. Thanks for spurring me on, even though you didn't know you were!

    Finally - someone else who forgets that water exists! I seriously have lived on skim milk and diet coke for years....so I'm really trying to drink more water. Some days I might get 8 in, other days -none...:embarassed: so I guess Im in!
