    I always have to force myself to drink more than 5 cups of water per day. Except when I'm outside in the sun all day biking or something. I can't understand how everyone says to drink 2-3 litres a day...

    I am now drinking 10 cups a day and it's a big improvement from just 8. Before I started tracking I was likely only drinking 6 which ckearly wasn't anywhere near enough. I start my day with a cup of water with a tea spoon of lemon juice!

    I try and drink between 1-2 liters a day, sometimes more and sometimes less, usually only less if I have diet soda or crystal lite

    I usually drink 15+ cups of ice cold water each day. When I have eaten something high in sodium I try to drink more than that. Yes I spend a lot of time in the ladies room :)

    Does drinking Crystal Light count as drinking water?

    It always depends. I usually drink 3-4 cups (8 oz each) of water and I eat a bunch of fruits and I drink some milk and those keep me quenched. On other days, I can drink up to 12 cups of water, but it makes me feel sick the next day.

    I track until 9 cups then I don't worry about keeping track for the rest of the day. That's on top of my non-water beverages (coffee/milk/tea/flavored sparkling water).

    I'm REALLY BAD with drinking in general sometimes I just have 4 coffee or teas a day and forget water.
    Its a working progress drinking more. Something so easy yet I just dont do it.

    Looking at all your comments I need to up my intake drastically :(

    According to the Internet, someone of my height and weight (5'7", 130 pds.) should be drinking 10 cups a day, so that's my minimum. Sometimes I get thirsty from a long run and drink up to 14, but it's usually a struggle to get 10. Before MFP I used to hate water and maybe got 2-4 a day. I've gotten to where I don't mind it. :drinker:

    Wow! Either you have a ginormous bladder or you must spend a ton of time in the restroom! :laugh:
