Anyone want to try to drink me under the table today?? Trying to motivate myself to drink, drink, drink my water. It is 9:00am in Oregon and I am just heading to fill my first glass of the day. Anybody want to join me?

    Oh it's on.... I'm in MI, so my water started already. I'm 24 ounces down since 10am, NOT counting the 30 oz or so during my workout this morning!

    Ok. I'm in. I usually have no problem drinking water. However, for the past couple of days I just haven't been feeling it, and therefore, drinking little to no water. So I need this challenge today! So I'm on my way to dump out the rest of my diet dr. pepper and grab a bottle of water.

    I'll check in with you later!

    50.7 oz now! That's a little over 6 cups. I really wasn't in the mood for water today. But now that I've started... I can't stop! This challenge was just what I needed. I'll just do one final post later with my total for the day.

    It's 2:46 in Alberta and I've just finished about my 10th cup. I still have half a bottle full plus I usually fill it up at least once more in the evening... so I'm aiming for 16 cups today.

    When I'm good, I'm good... but then other days I just completely forget.

    5:40 here and I've downed 112 oz (14 cups). I will probably manage another couple this evening, but then I gotta stop or I'll be up all night!

    I was going to check in with you on your profie, but then I saw you started this thread! Great idea! ... So, I'm at 72 ounces and it's almost time for bed here on the East coast. Not sure if I can chug anymore. Still, what an improvement from what my typical day is!! I'm proud of us! :laugh: :drinker: (<---water in those cups, of course)

    This should be a daily challenge group. :wink:

    Everyone, drinking water is good... but it's probably not a good idea to make a contest out of it... at least via quantity.

    I'm not trying to rain on a parade. I'm just not sure if everyone knows what can happen if you drink too much water.

    If you're going to drink a certain amount of water in a day, spread it out, and make sure the amount makes sense for your body and sweat rate. Please don't do it to compete with others.

    Oh brother! No worries here..... I am not going to "win" any water drinking competition, just thought it would be nice to keep each other going on our water intake today. It helped me just knowing that others might check in to see how much water I had consumed. Thanks to everyone who had a little fun with it :)

    Thanks for the post. I typically drink 12 glasses....and always spread throughout the day. I drank more than "normal", but I've had some high sodium days recently, so it was a good challenge for me to flush out the sodium. I posted a topic recently about the benefits for water consumption.....so I thought the post was a great idea to make us all push a little harder to get in our water. :happy:

    I had about 96 oz of water yesterday! Thanks again for the post! Should we go for another round today?

    The only reason I even responded was because of the phrase, "Drink me under the table." I don't want to offend, but I know, beyond the article, that people get sick from too much.

    I am in NH...I have been awake since 8am...not sure of the time difference, but that means I have been awake 2.5 hours. I am already on glass number 5. By noon, I will have already drank 12 glasses of water. Can u beat that? It's like that everyday for me :bigsmile:
