    Because I don't need to track it.. I KNOW I am getting all the hydration my body needs and then some. If it was something I struggled with then I'd track it to make sure, but I'm well over the minimum required amount so why bother?

    It's helpful at first, but after a while it becomes tedious. I know I drink enough water every day and I logged for the first probably 6 months I was on here, but after a while it's a little much to make sure I log my water. If you're not worried about your water consumption throughout the day, I don't see the need to log every single day.

    I don't log it because I don't care. I am convinced that I can remain well hydrated without clicking on that little glass. I haven't shrivelled up so far, so I must be correct.

    I don't forget to drink or log. I just don't log because I have no reason to log. I consume plenty of liquids. I log those with calories in the food section, the rest don't matter.

    'Cause I don't need one more thing to get all obsessive about. Not being snarky when I say that either. It's the unfortunate truth.

    I drink plenty of water, I don't need to log it. As long as you're drinking to thirst and paying attention to signs of water retention and dehydration (even the very mild beginning signs), there's absolutely no reason to obsess over consuming a specific arbitrary level of water every day. Most people get more than enough.

    Y U NO use regular sentence structure? Just kidding...the title just sounded funny when I read it out loud :wink:

    I don't even log my food every day right now so I don't log water regularly...but when I am logging I log my water--I run a lot and have a tendency to get dehydrated so logging reminds me to keep up on the appropriate water intake for me--which is 6-12 glasses a day. I think some people can't be bothered to log it, as it doesn't change the calorie or nutrient counts, or maybe they don't drink a lot of water? My brother is also a runner but doesn't drink a lot of water so if he were using the site he'd log maybe 2 glasses a day.

    I logged it at first. But then I learned it wasn't necessarily important. So I stopped bothering. I make a point to drink some water every day, but its not one of my goals.

    This. I logged it for a while, but I always had between 8-16 cups anyway, so what's the point in logging when I know it's something I'm doing right?

    I log the stuff I need to log.

    It's so damn hard to track water consumption. What size glass am I using? Okay, I drank 3 8 ounce glasses and 4 12 ounce glasses and then another 10 ounces with my protein shake, no way I'm tracking that and trying to remember it all. I just drink as I'm thirsty and if I get a sugar craving, I'll just drink some more.

    I drink enough water so it's not important to me to log. If I have a high sodium or high exercise day I will drink extra, but still not something I log.

    When I first started and at other times during my journey when I noticed my water intake dropped, I would log my water. Lately I have been getting 8 - 14 cups a day without hardly thinking so I haven't bothered in a while. I mainly use it when I need the reminder.

    Because I usually use fitbits water log... I like it better because it's in ounces rather than cups (to which I can't even log partial cups) and I keep track in ounces.
    This is a good idea. I like to track my water because, even though I love water, I'm not always good about drinking enough. However, my water bottle at work is 30oz, which doesn't work well translating to cups on MFP.

    Aside from my morning coffee, it's the only other beverage I drink. No need to log all the time. I log all my food though.

    I know that I drink more than enough so I don't waste time logging it.
