How much water do you drink?

To try to distill some points from this, by far not all:
- there is no set amount. You need to replace the fluid that your body loses per day. More will be excreted as extra urine. You can need more fluid if you exercise, if it's hot, if you are on a high protein or high fibre diet.
-2-3 litres per day is normal, HOWEVER that means 'all fluid', not just water. And while it's better to limit soft drinks and drinks with caffeine, replace fruit juices with fruit, etc, all these things are mainly fluid: water, juice, soft drink, milk, coffee, tea, soup, yoghurt, cucumber, melon, actually many fruits and vegetables.
I currently want to track how much fluid in total I'm giving my body, and that means that I add any cup of coffee and any smoothie as water again, just to get a grasp of that.
Also, most of my cups are 200 ml and so I count in units of 200 ml, and don't care how much MFP thinks a 'glassfull' should be.

Not exactly sure, but its pretty much all I drink other than 3 cups of coffee in the morning. I usually use one of hubby's pint glasses and fill it up every time, several times a day. I like water. Soda/pop is too sweet, I don't like fruit juice, gave up alcohol for Lent, and milk is too filling to drink often...so water it is. Not sure what its doing for my weight or body composition...I just drink it because I'm thirsty

I read somewhere a few weeks back to try to drink half your weight in water, so I still aim for that amount. it's alot of water but if you do a lot of workouts and sweating your body really needs to replace it. I mainly drink sugar free flavored water tho.

Someone suggested this site for calculating your water requirements according to activity, weight, climate. Don't know if it's a good one or not, but I came up as needing 10 cups a day. I get about 10-12 so I guess I'm good. :drinker:

I always have a big 2 litre bottle by my desk, I drink all of this and sometimes refill it, then drink a glass or two more. I also have a couple of fruit teas (Herbals) through out the day

Then.....If I go to the gym, I will drink 2 or 3 of the gym smaller bottles while working out

Yes....I do alot of peeing throughout the day!!!

The more, the better

I have such a hard time drinking water. I hate the "taste" for some reason. I can put a glass of water next to me while I'm working and it will just sit there laughing at me all day. I try to drink diluted lemonade which I can usually get up to 4 glasses. Sometimes I count my coffee so that I am at least counting all my fluid if not drinking water. It's an ongoing battle for me; however, it hasn't seemed to affect my weight loss.

8 to 10 glasses of water a day.,

Depends on what color my pee is.

Probably on average 1 cup of water or less a day, unless I'm doing cardio and getting sweaty. I just don't feel like I need it.

I drink 3-4 liters a day. I have a 1 liter bottle. I carry it with me everywhere, and I drink it all the time. I also put a few slices of lemon or lime or one flavor packet per liter (the packets say you should use 2 per liter, but it's too sweet then). Some people say the artificial sweeteners in those packets are bad for you, and I'm sure over time they are, but it helps me get the water down.

When you first start, you pee a lot, but then your body gets used to it and you start to "crave" the water. I feel sluggish and ill if I don't have at least 2 liters a day.

I don't know if it's had any effect on weight loss (other than I "weigh" a bit more when I don't drink as much - but that's just the typical water weight fluctuation we all experience), but I do feel better and my skin in general is clearer when I'm drinking more.

It really does become a habit once you get use to it. The only real bummer is that my liter bottle doesn't fit in my car cup holder
