Drinking Water??

Were these 8 oz glasses? I do need to go regularly, but more like every 2-3 hours. My standard glasses hold 2 cups of water, which is 16 oz. Maybe you're doubling your water intake?

What goes in, should come out.

it sounds pretty normal. I drink almost double that, but because i am breastfeeding I need the extra fluid to maintain my milk supply. and I still feel sometimes like my back teeth are floating. I haven't had anything else to drink besides the odd coffee for the last three weeks and my skin loves me for it.... your body will adjust!

8 glasses of water is 64 ounces or half a gallon.

Yes it's very normal. I pee every 15 minutes sometimes due to the amount of water I drink.

At least I know my body is being flushed of toxins. I have to drink as much water as possible seeing that my fat cells are releasing toxins every day as I lose weight.

I would highly recommend drinking lots of water during the weight loss process especially for people who have a lot to lose.

it took a week or so before I stopped peeing constantly. Even now I only drink a little over half the recommended amount, but before I was lucky to get one 8oz glass in a day, so that's a huge change. If you go from not drinking any water to all 64oz, that's HUGE, maybe start with half and work your way up.

Try drinking in smaller amounts (sipping) throughout the day. I've notice that when I gulp down water I have to go more often.

Keep up with the water. It helps to regulate the body. I feel a difference when I cut back for a day or two. I tend to get tired more quicker when exercising.

I used to hate water....refused to drink it, I'd go without drinking if all I had was water. Then I started to force myself to drink it. I have a whiteboard, and for each 24 ounce bottle I drink I put a little mark, and I will have a goal for each day. I started out with two bottles, then worked my way up to four or five. I've now switched to a 1.5L bottle, and my goal is 2 bottles a day, sometimes 3 depending. On the days I work multiple horses, I've gotten up to 4 or 5.


Your body does have to adjust, when I first started I was peeing ALL THE TIME. Now it's not so bad.

I have noticed over the years that afterabout3 weeks to a month that mine is adjusted.It's probably good to be going that often because it indicates your kidneys are healthy. I actually read that if a person doesn't get enough water, that can make their tissues hold onto water and swell.

I used to drink NO water. I'm sure I went weeks without drinking any, just sodas and such. Eventually I added a single glass (if that) at night before bed.

When I started MFP, I started drinking 8-15 glasses a day. Did it shock my system? Yeah. But honestly, it's starting to get used to it now and it's been just over two weeks. I feel more energetic. And I've replaced my 'boredom eating' with 'boredom drinking' (of water).

Yeah, I go a lot. I have spent the past 10 years as some form of teacher or another... and read once that teachers and nurses have the highest rates of UTIs because they hold it so much. After I read that, I started going to the bathroom every chance I had, even if I didn't feel like I needed to go... so, like every 45 min. or 1 hour, whenever there was a change from classroom to classroom or whatever. Now I'm used to it. The funny thing is that I *can* go several hours without having to pee... but I usually choose not to do so. So, hey, you're doing good things for your urinary tract! If you're having *real* issues holding it in, practice your kegels. If that doesn't work... see a doctor!

I go pee 75,000 times a day. So annoying.

Buuuuuut, I love drinking water!

I have just recently started drinking more water. Started at the end of February. I pee like that too. Its unreal! And gets very aggravating. Makes me want a catheter attached to me! HAHA And so far it hasnt changed...doesnt look like my body will be getting used to it..
