    I agree, it's hard to take in all of the water we need, but boy, does it help with getting rid of the excess water weight! The other day, I got on the scale and had gained 1.5 lbs in one day. How did that happen!! I looked at my food diary and realized that I had been eating salty foods and not drinking enough water. I drank my 64oz of water, made numerous trips to you know where and by the next day, I had lost that 1.5 lbs. of water weight. Crazy, but cool!

    I try to keep a 32oz refillable bottle of water with me all throughout the day. Two of those per day and I'm set. It might just be me and it may sound crazy, but I find that drinking the water through a pop-up style water bottle makes it easier to get down than drinking it from a glass. Crazy -- I know, but it works for me. It also helps to keep your bottle of water handy and take sips often all throughout the day and in between bites at meals and snack times. Another trick is to add some lemon juice if you like a little flavor.

    It's still a struggle for me to stick to 64 oz. a day, but we're all in this together and I have every confidence that WE CAN DO IT!!!:happy:

    OMG I do exactly the same thing!! That is so funny... I cannot drink water in a glass unless I am at a restaurant or something... It makes it so much easier to drink from a water bottle! Today I am going to get an alhambra jug that is 64 fl oz exactly so I know just how far I have gone and how much more I need to drink... Good Idea about the lemon for flavor... On a really hot day, that is what I do... make a jug of water, put lemon slices in it and let it sit... I nearly make lemonade without all the sugar!

    Oh, good! So I guess I'm not crazy after all, regarding the pop-top water bottle.

    Have a super day!

    LOL I am the exact same way about the pop top bottle thingy! I had the hardest time reaching my goal every day until I found these Zephyrhills 24 oz bottles with the flip tops. I keep 2 at work and 2 at home and alternate between them and keep the spare in the fridge so my water is always super cold. I find that having it cold makes it much easier to drink.

    I am also using the Crystal Light On the Go packs...I don't know if this is the right way to consume water, but so far it is really working for me...I am down to 1 (maybe 2) diet sodas a day!!! That is a HUGE thing for me.

    Yesterday I walked for 1 hour and consumed 96 oz water!

    So far today I am at 72 oz!

    I am SUPER EXCITED that there are soooooo many people joining up! Thanks so much for starting this feed! I can't wait to see where we all are in 4 weeks. I keep clicking on that button that if every day were like today in 5 weeks you would weigh....well yesterday it was 214!!! WOW I am sooooo ON the wagon this time. That feature really helps keep me motivated. Hope you are all doing well also!

    Gooooo 200's right in to the 100's LOLOLOL!!!!

    Definately by using flavor enhancers it is easier to get down some water... keep up the good work... so where is everyone from? I am from California, born and raised and man the weather is nice here!!

    My friend rosered51 has talked me into this challenge. I drank over the 64 ozs yesterday and it wasn't as hard as I thought. Didn't want to be up and going to bathroom too often, especially at the first of the month with my work responsibilities. :smooched:

    So, I have joined - starting yesterday - even if I didn't realize it at the time. :flowerforyou:

    Cool! I'd like to join!

    Current: 258
    4 week goal: Anything!! Really, if I set a number, and don't reach it, I'll get very discouraged.
    Ultimate goal: 155 (Before my 3 kids :laugh: )

    Is the water challenge still going?
    I'm so bad with water. If there is soda in the house, that's what I drink. But I do have a sports bottle that is 20 oz. If I keep that full, then I tend to drink more water. The problem is keeping it filled with water laughing-1.gif

    I have different goals...something realistic is what I am shooting for and once there I will re-assess to another goal weight until I get down to what I really want to be. It may be a different weight than what I have ever weighed...just to a point that I will be happy with the way I look and especially important is how I feel about me there. :wink: Just don't get suckered into what others are trying for, it is all about you on this one! And it is okay to be "about you" for this one!! :smile:
