    You do pee a lot for the first few weeks, but I found that my body adjusted to the increased fluid intake and I didn't have to pee as often.

    I do pee a larger volume when I go!

    I fill a Rubbermaid 1 gallon pitcher on my desk at work and carry a large Tervis cup with me everywhere. I fill with room temperature water (squirt in a little MIO) and drink with a straw.

    I find room temp and using a straw keeps it going down much faster!

    I drink about a gallon a day, since I started taking creatine again I actually started urinating less which tells me the creatine is doing its job :)

    I definitely hit more than a gallon on most days. I have found using a sport top for some reason helps :/ Weird but it works for me..oh and the peeing..ya I stock up on TP LOL

    Sigh... Why?
    Yes I pee a lot.
    I have to use the restroom every 45 minutes at least
    i find myself going all day long
    I need to pee like every 15 min

    If you are peeing a lot that means you are drinking too much water. Water may be good , but more does not always equal better. Your kidneys do a pretty good job but "flushing" them with lots of water is not necessary - in fact you may lose some water soluble nutrients.

    peeing a lot is a good thing.

    I easily drink 1.5 gallons of water per day...but, on the DOWNSIDE, I am in the bathroom ever 15 minutes. My employer is probably wondering if I am doing drugs in the bathroom or something!~ :noway:

    Start peeing with the door open. If possible, maintain eye contact while peeing.
