    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:

    I make sure to drink 96oz a day. Anything after that is a bonus and I don't keep track.

    It should be your bodyweight divided by 2 plus 20

    3 (most days, though it can range up into the 5 or 6) 2 L bottles of home made carbonated flavored water per day. If I'm out in the sun, that total can actually top 10, but then I'm hunting for the salt shaker to replace the sodium I've flushed before I get REALLY sick!
