Water ??? 8 glasses

I don't worry too much about the eight glasses. There was a time I didn't drink much liquids at all. At that time I placed four 16 oz bottles of water on my counter. At the end of the day those had to be gone. One in am, one at lunch, one late afternoon one at dinner. This helped me develop the habit of just drinking water. I did this because of persistent dehydration and UTI 's. Not weight loss.

My husband hates plain water, so he always uses a packet of drink mix (the ones he uses are 10 cals / packet) for each bottle -- he has no problem drinking water once it's flavored

I can drink plain water just fine, but it took me a while to get used to it. I used to alternate a bottle w/drink mix and then a bottle of plain water, and I gradually cut out the drink mix completely (for some reason the drink mix gave me heartburn a lot). I also like my water very cold, but I can't drink much at a time when it's cold like that, so I alternate. I'll guzzle a bottle of room-temp water and then sip on my very cold water.

I also found that when I first started drinking a lot of water, I had to go to the restroom quite frequently, but now that I've gotten more used to drinking so much, the urge isn't as dire (amt is still the same, but the "oooh I gotta GO!" feeling every 5 mins goes away)

i just read that with my weight, I need to drink 12 glasses (96 ounces) of water a day... I wanted to scream. I dont mind drinking water but it gets boring after a while. I'm thinking of getting a water bottle that has the center thing for fruit and veggies to infuse it with some flavor

I like water, but infused water is a nice change. At my weight I should be drinking 120 ounces per day (even more when I was heavier). I've tried, but I start feeling ill when I drink much more than 80 ounces per day. Now I just monitor urine color.

I sometimes add lemon or green tea to my water.. makes it tastes different and then I'm able to gulp it down too

I have a small bottle of 500 liters, which i roughly fill 6 times a day, so I'm able to consume 3 lts water. plus water in any other form is not counted in these 3lts, like soup or tea.

Kind of hard for me. I've never liked plain water. I like the fizz of carbonation.
But I have tried very hard to drink more water since joining MFP and especially since I'm exercising so much more.
I think my lack of thirst was because I was rarely exerting myself and the fluids I did drink (coffee and diet sodas) were satisfying my fluid needs.

I've discovered I like cold refrigerated water. Not ice water and not cold tap water. So I keep 4, quart size bottles in my fridge at all times and try to pour myself a big glassful every hour or so.

Some days I can easily put away 3 quarts of water, others it's hard to manage 1.

I'm just happy that my body has finally adjusted to drinking more water and I'm not running to the restroom every 5 minutes, lol.

I find it harder to drink from a glass than a bottle. I keep a bottle next to me all day! you'll be surprised how fast you can get through it. Im on number 3 and its only 12pm here!

Me too :-)
I don't drink from a glass, I have a 0,5 l bottle and drink a bottle in one time, during the day I drink 2 bottles before lunch, 1 bottle after lunch, 1 bottle with dinner.

I carry a 1L water bottle everywhere with me. I chug, refill, then chug again. Water keeps you happy, your skin clear, and your poops quality. Drink it y'all.

I really like spring water but I find that the carbonation makes me gassy (thusly, preventing me from enjoying my plain water). If you don't like drinking H20 plain, put a tea bag or something pretty in it — like sliced lemons, limes, ginger, etc.
