I found this handy calculator online to help determine how much to drink.
http://nutrition.about.com/library/blwatercalculator.htm

I made a goal recently to drink more water and have been doing well with it this past week, but after using this calculator found out it wasn't enough. So I'll be drinking more now.

How are you guys doing with your water intake, and how does it seem to impact your weight loss?

    I don't track water. As long as my pee is light yellow to clear, I know I'm fine.

    I think about 8 glasses a day is recomended - must admit I rarely get to more than 5 or 6 though

    I always use a 24oz water bottle and like to aim to fill it 3 times.

    Easiest way to calculate - half your body weight in ounces. ie. body weight is 200lbs, drink 100 oz of water - add more if you excersize and sweat.
