    I'm in. I actually really like water but when I get bored with it I just add a little lemon or crystal light mix to help the bland flavor. Another thing I do is fill up my 40 oz water bottle twice a day and I know I've had what I should. :happy:

    Yay! Can't wait to get back into the swing of things...I have been missing MFP and my gym and my normal eating habits and my water. I'm 10 oz in so far, and planning to hit the gym after work.
  • That's going to be hard, especially when I'm at work, but I will do my best.

    DONE!!
    Here's what I do.
    First thing in the morning I make sure I have 16-32oz. It is easier for me if I drink them during and after my workout. I try to get them in before I get into the shower.
    I take a 32-64oz bottle with me to work. If I want more coffee I have to drink. If I want a snack or a cup of tea I have to drink. I also make myself drink a bunch before lunch and before I go home to make dinner. That way I feel full and don't "snack" while I make lunch or dinner.
    Some days I put in propel packets but then again I try to take some plain and reward my self with flavors.
    The biggest thing that helps me is a straw. If my bottle has a straw I will drink more.
    I hope this helps anyone.
    Good luck!

    I've had to stop at every pub I've delivered beer to today to use their bathroom! I had a pint of water in the morning, a 500 ml bottle on the road and bought another litre and a half so in total that's about 2.5 litres and according to CalculateMe.com 80 of your ounces is 2.4 of my litres so mission achieved and it's only 6pm :)

    Good challenge for those who don't like drinking water. I have enforced water drinking since day 1 of MFP. I also gained a tip from an ebook called the 4-hour body. 1 of the rules the author establishes is " DON'T DRINK YOUR CALORIES" which also includes milk. That doesn't leave us with a whole lot of options and definately encourages the drinking of water. I am on cup number 4 and it's only noon here

    I've already had about 64 oz and haven't worked out yet, so I know I'll reach this goal by the end of the day. I have to drink a ton of water to feel like a normal functioning human being!

    Your story is kinda funny as you’re going to the Pubs to use the loo and not have a pint!

    Well done day, Cheers!

    Luckily, I am use to drinking lots of water. I keep water at my desk, in my car, & in my kitchen ( 3 places where I am the most).
    My beverages are water, coffee, tea, milk, and wine!

    First thing I put in my body each day is glass of water, then I have another with my vitimans & supplements & 1 med, then I have another one during breakfast = 3 glasses

    I have a glass before & during lunch & dinner = 4 glasses
    Bewtween meals have 2 glasses = 4 glasses
    Workouts I have 1-2 glasses = 2 glasses
    NonWorkouts always push water.

    It’s 130p and I"m at 9 glasses. My goal is 12 glasses a day and the past few weeks I”ve been pushing it back up to 12-14 a day.

    *If you are new to drinking lots of water take it slow and easy and give it time. Try adding crystal light packets or other non-sugar
    flavorings until you build up your intake.

    Great Challenge for eveyone, You can do this !!!
  • 80oz? Challenge accepted and DEMOLISHED!!!! What what!!! YAYYYYYYY!!!! Come on guys you can do it!
