Could I be drinking too much water?

You can indeed drink too much, but it doesn't sound like that's a problem at 128 ounces. Agree that you should check into how much you should be drinking.

Man, you must be taking potty breaks a lot!

Each person's body is different. I drink a little less and my weight is slowing coming off.

My reason for drinking so much water, besides hydration for workouts, is that I LOVE the feeling of Hot Tea (and I'm addicted to Teavana for this). The warmth makes me feel satisfied and most of the time keeps me from snacking much. Also keeps me out of the drinks on my bad list.

Now, depending on your salt intake the water might be sticking around longer making weight come off slowly or if you just started upping the water intake your body might not be releasing water weight.

Personally, I knew a guy who worked out and drank 2 gallons a day and he had some fine results for the training he was undergoing...so its really up to individual preference. My body likes 14-16 cups / 112-128oz.

If you are still unsure after you get more responses I would suggest doing to research for yourself or talk to your doctor. Your intution and a doc's opinion usually trump responses

Keep up the great job!

I recently upped my water intake cause I was on a plateau. after researching it seems to be general consensus that for optimal weight loss you should drink half your weight in ozs.....I also followed a few other guidelines a friend sent me ..eat within 20 mins of waking, something high protein. take a daily multiple vitamin, and fish oil. I also downloaded a water reminder app, so I can remember and track my water intake. lost two lbs in two days and finally broke through the plateau

It's probably not hindering your weight loss but it's totally not necessary. There's no magic to drinking excessive quantities of water. You're stressing your kidneys and can be depleting minerals your body needs. If your urine is pale yellow then you're getting enough fluids. Did you know an apple is 85% water? We get most of the fluids we need just from out daily food intake.

If you're drinking in excess of 4 litres a day, that would be too much. Your kidneys will get rid of what you don't need. Unless you have a kidney disorder, or some mental illness that would cause excess water intake, you should be fine.

People that have died from water toxicity were drinking 4 to 5 gallons a day, every day... I don't think you have to worry.

Just my two cents, when I drink 128+ oz a day I lose much more easily.

I would say false but do be careful with your water intake you can have too much which is dangerous to your organs and can be deadly it depends somewhat on your weight. Marathon runners drop dead from time to time from too much water intake while running.

There are water calculators online, I just did mine and at my weight I can safely have 130 oz. Google Water intake calculator.

Generally though water is suppose to flush your system of toxins in your organs and as it has no calories you it shouldn't hurt your weight loss. Watch your sodium intake, if this is quite high you may tend to hold more water than you want. If this is the case for you then reduce your sodium and you should see the scale change.

The marathon runners it is not from to much water. It is from hyponatremia which causes a shift in soduim. As they drink more water it causes the shift to get worse. It is not the fact that they are drinking to much water, rather a shift in thier sodium.

I lose more when I drink more water. I aim for about 4 litres a day (that's about 135 oz or a little more than 1 gallon)

I drink about 120oz a day. No issues here.
