    Did you know our bodies are made up of over 70% water! Even our cells can't grow without water and our organs can't function without water. Water flushes toxins out of our systems, cleanses our blood and keeps us hydrated. Many times we don't know our bodies are craving water until we are thirsty. By then we are already suffering from some degree of dehydration. Wow!

    I love this challenge because it pushes me to go passed what I normally do....around 80oz.. For someone who used to drink that much in sweet tea a day this is a huge motivational tool. I would gag if I had to drink water and now I crave it! :happy:

    Thank you for starting this thread!! I am at 32 oz. and counting....

    I'm only at 32oz and I have to pee every 20 minutes. Anyone else having this problem? Also, I know "they" recommend 64oz a day but does this take into acount body size? It just seems like so much water for me!

    Sooo embarrassing, took my daughter to pick up her senior pics. I had 3 cups of coffee and 16 oz. of water before we left. When we got there - first thing out of my mouth was "where is the bathroom?" - I think I was going for a full 5 minutes before I finally made myself stop. As soon as we got home I had to go again.

    Just wondering - if we get our bodies used to having a certain amount of water and then say we just can't have but a third of that amount for several days - will our bodies go into dehydration mode? Any doctors or nurses out there that know for sure?

    Done! :drinker: 112 oz of water down the hatch.

    I def. chugged that last 16 oz bottle just so I could finish counting for the day - anything I drink after this I won't bother keeping up with. Now - time to focus on work & not MFP :laugh:
