    July Drink More Water Challenge

    Posts: 837 Member
    edited December 2024 in Food and Nutrition
    Welcome to those continuing the challenge from June and a huge hello to you newbies for July!!

    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. You can follow this little chart as a guide as to what to count as water:

    Water (obvious)
    Tea (up to 2 cups)
    Coffee (1 cup only)
    Juice (1 cup only)

    If you're not used to drinking a lot of water, I would suggest starting out slow and working your way up to 8 glasses.

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

    Welcome!

      I'm definitely in! I used to drink 6-7 a day, but over the course of the past few months I've usually only managed to get 3-4 cups each day. I can see the dehydration taking a toll on me. Need to fix this ASAP!

      I'm in. I don't feel as good and my weight loss has slowed since my water intake took a dive. i am going to start by finding and downloading a water reminder app to my phone, filling up some water bottles and TRACKING water this month again :)

      I also add lots of chilli to my meals (when appropriate) and it gets me drinking the water!

      Hello to all! Great to see some newbies here! Sorry I wasn't around yesterday. Went to a major league ball game and out to dinner with my hubby and father.

      07/01 -- 4 glasses (I think, lost count). Included 1 cup coffee and 3 glasses flavored water.

      Thanks for the suggestions! A water app sound like a good plan, and spicy foods are always good to get one drinking more water. :drinker:

      OK. I'll try this. I definitely do not drink nearly enough water and I'm not convinced of its importance either. However, my weight loss has plateaued, so I want to see if drinking more can help.

      I love this!
      I'm in.

      Probably at 10 cups today.

      I hate drinking water but I bought a mason jar and started slicing fruit to put into it and I can't stop drinking it.

      It takes 2 minutes to slice some strawberries, cucumbers or lemons to dump into my water jug.
      Sometimes I'll put some herbs too.

      It's so refreshing yet doesn't have added sugar or anything else unhealthy!

      I'm in. I have a .75 l water bottle and my goal is to drink it dry by noon, then again by 4p, then again by 8p (about 9.5 cups of water all together). I've been doing it for the past few days and I feel really good! (peeing a lot though!)

      Sure, why not! :3 I think I could most definetly do this, as I've been meaning to drink more water for a while! :D
