    I find I drink more water if I have my water bottle handy. I know how much it holds and attempt to keep track of how many times I fill it.

    I'm in! I had 15 cups of water today not including my 3 cups of tea. :drinker: (For the record, this is a RARE day! I usually have around 8-10 cups)

    I would like to have at least 10 all week!

    God knows I should take this challenge!! I can barely make 5 glasses per day... Yesterday was the first day in 6 wks that I had 7 glasses.. Perhaps I will aim for 8 tomorrow and 10 the following day.... Thanks for the motivation..

    I did 64 oz of water today, 3 cups of green tea (one of which was decaf), and one can of coke zero. I try to get at least 50 oz of water a day. Its not easy to do. So, I force myself to get at least 1/2 in by 10 am. So that way the remainder of the day I can ease through the remainder.

    i would love to join this challenge - i only really rarely drink my water and i need to start. I'm going to try for 8 though, not 10. And does everyone use a "cup" measure? As in, are you counting a glass as one measurement of 250mls? Or do you just use a regular old glass and forget about the exact amount?

    Checking in. Yesterday I had 10 glasses and today I'm already at 10 but will probably have 2-4 more before the day is through! :smile:

    Oh, forgot to update! I had 11 glasses of water yesterday, and 12 oz of diet coke. Serious improvement for me, considering I used to drink about 8 oz of LIQUID a day. Somedays I used to not drink anything at all. Not even a sip. Lol?? My doctor isn't very happy with me: I'm very dehydrated. Last week was my first week that I've ever had 8 oz of water each day. It was a struggle, but I think I can do this now! I've already gotten in 9 glasses today.

    Wednesday, July 6: 11 glasses

    Mine either!! :) lol..I have to think about what I drink before I pick up the diet dr pepper...I think (hm. have I had one today?...if i drink this I will not be thirsty for a few hours and i won't make my water intake..then I think ..wait..this will be SO much better with a meal..lets just have a water now and save this for dinner!)

    you can do this!! :) I also put a little MiO in my water so it has some flavor and dosn't taste like water (if that makes any sense...)

    Join on!! 10 glasses a day till the end of the week! :)

    Yeah for the potty near by!! lol :) I agree..I lowered my calorie intake today..and with all the water I'm not feeling the "ah...i'm so hungry I could eat Tippy (which is a cow in the field next to my neighborhod..)!!"

    You got this!! :)

    I do the same thing! :) Trying to save diet sodas for meals (especially meals out, since I've also vowed on cutting back on the number of times I go out to eat with the fam) because otherwise, I get stuck with like 6 glasses of water to drink right before bed. Now that sucks! :noway: :sick: :drinker:

    Great Job Ladies!!! Keep it up. I will not join your challenge because it would be too easy for me since i LOVE water. No really I do! I thought I would offer some advice and motivation though...

    As far as the glass... Yes I do have a glass or two that I use all the time that I know are about 32oz. I drink two or three of them a day. The are getting harder to find. Lately I have been finding 20oz glasses. I usually get them at stores like Target. For me, having the bigger glass makes it easier because I don't loose track on my counting as much and I don't have to refill it as much. It is also a good idea, as someone already said, to keep your glass or water bottle near you.

    Once you get hydrated you will stop needing to pee as much. I had a nutritionist tell me this... Think of an old dried out plant and a healthy green plant. If you water them what happens? The healthy plant soaks up the water and uses it for nutrients. The water passes right through the dried out plant. It will get easier to drink all that water as you "practice" drinking it regularly everyday. You will also start to notice when you need water too because you will be more in tune with the signals.

    Stay motivated... it will pay off in the end and you will feel better! All of you will be great at reaching this goal!!!

    Checking in... only had 8 glasses today plus one cup of tea, but that is way more than usual. I usually get 4 or 5 glasses, plus 1 cup of tea in the morning... I'll try for 10 again tomarrow.... good job to everyone who was successful... I will start early with the water tomarrow, maybe skip the tea. Wish me luck.... :)
