in Challenges
I would like to start a challenge with the purpose of motivating folks to consume 48-64 oz of water per day. I'm not sure how challenges work but could use some help reaching that daily goal. Anyone else?

    I'm in. I can limit my calorie intake, or I can exercise often and a lot, but in either case, my water intake is rarely sufficient.
    It's not that don't like water, I do. It's not that I don't realize that I'm thirsty, I do. But all day long, I forget to stop at the fountain at work, even though I'm walking past it every 20 minures or so. When I do drink water, it's in 16 to 20 ounce portions, which I suspect isn't the right way to do it.

    This is one of my goals, too! I was recently told by a nurse to strive for 7 cups/day, based on my height. I'm 5'3.5". I think its interesting that they always say drink 8 cups/day, but someone 6' tall should drink more than someone my height, so I'm going for 7 cups. I also drink 2 mugs of coffee, but since it is a diuretic, I don't think it counts. I had 5 today, so it is a challenge for me. I think I should knock one cup out before my morning coffee.

    i use the Aqualert app to track my water intake. it lets you choose how much you want to drink each day and then you can tell it how often to send you a push notification to remind you to drink. they also just started doing a thing where every couple of days you get a 'gift' for meeting your daily goal. i've racked up 3 free audio books on audible in the last week or 10 days. highly recommend!

    I'm in. I love water because I live in a very tropical climate so I feel thirsty all the time. I started drinking water(6 cups) conciously last year and upped it to 8-10 glasses and plan to continue this habit for the rest of my life.
