June Drink More Water Challenge

Welcome to those continuing the challenge from May and a huge hello to you newbies for May!!

Do you have a hard time drinking your 8 glasses of water each day or even drinking 3 glasses? I do. That's why I've created a "drink more water" challenge. If you're interested, log in here your water amount daily.

Don't worry if you don't like plain water. Crystal Light, lemon and other 0-calorie flavorings are completely allowed. Anything to get you drinking more water.

I would suggest starting out slow and working your way up to 8 glasses. I've pushed water before, and it made me sick. That way your bladder will get used to the slowly increasing water amount.

I need motivation, so let's motivate each other to drink more water and feel healthier!!

    ^ Surely this tells you that you don't need to drink so much!

    I'm in! I generally do well in the morning, then start to slide all afternoon. You just reminded me to get another refill from the break room!

    How does this work? Will there be somewhere else to post water drunk or will this only get going tomorrow?

    This is def a good challenge for me! I never drink much water but I've recently pretty much stopped drinking diet soda. I've just started trying different flavors of Crystal Light so that I can stay more hydrated.

    I don't have trouble drinking water anymore. But I collected many ideas about how to make it easier to drink water in my blog. See http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Robin_Bin/view/water-265761 Hope it helps!

    This is a group I definitely need to join. How do I do that other than posting right now? When I drink, I drink pure water, I just don't drink enough of it. Thanks for any encouragement in advance.
