    I keep a 2 liter bottle of water by the computer at all times. I also drink 12 oz. of water twice a day with my morning and night meds. I live in Texas and in the dead of Summer the rule is one ounce of water per pound of body weight so I'm used to drinking LOTS of water. Yesterday I had 96 ounces of water and a 2 liter of something else. It wasn't as much water as I should have had but it's not been as hot lately. I'm in!

    I plan to drink 96oz of water a day (by refilling my 16oz water bottle 6 times daily). I used to drink this much water and felt a lot better. I have to live a healthier lifestyle again.


    I usually have a whole bottle before I even leave the house in the morning.
    I have one on the way to my classes.
    I refill at least twice while in school.
    I have one while on my way from the school to work.
    Then I'll have one while working..

    And I find that I sometimes forget how many bottles of water I've had so I'll make sure to keep my phone on me and log the amount of water into the myfitnesspal app as soon a I finish a bottle.

    I'm in, I just calculated and I drink around 100.5 oz per day.

    16.9 with breakfast
    16.9 between breakfast and lunch
    16.9 with lunch
    16.9 after lunch ( I stop drinking at 2:00, to get ready for my afternoon walk in the park)
    16.9 after workout ( in the car)
    8.0 after workout (when I get home)
    8 oz with dinner (sugar free kool-aid added)

    My rule of thumb is fill up before I go empty out. Most days I feel as if I need to set up my office in the bathroom. :happy:

    I really need to start drinking a lot more water so I promise to drink at least two liters a day plus the water that I drink with food.

    I only got nine glass in yesterday but then again I was too busy for words. I had to drive into the dentist's office and have some work done. I'll do better today. I've already had 3 glasses today.

    Consider this one already won and completed for the last couple years...

    16oz in the morning with my prescriptions (two diuretics)
    1-10oz coffee in the morning at my desk
    1-64oz jug of ice water done by Noon, and then filled half-way again for the last four hours of my shift
    1-18oz glass with dinner

    If I wake up in the middle of the night thirsty, there is a 32oz jug of ice water at the ready.

    this is the normal for me and the pleasure for my doctors knowing Im fully compliant. Even my Endo says she has a hard time committing to drinking water from which I appreciate her honesty with me.
