    Fun, isn't it?! haha Yes, after a week or so your body will adjust and you won't go as often, but you will probably still go more often than you did before consuming all the water. Its worth it though and great for your body!

    This was my first week. I also cried. TEARS. Other unusual stuff. I think this might be part of the first week, but already I can now sleep through the night on day 10 and I'm getting in my water. Expect this to be ongoing the first week, but not forever.

    You are going to start feeling thirstier and peeing less next week!

    That's a relief because at work this can be quite distracting, although I am getting exercise each time I walk to the bathroom haha.
    Congrats on your weight loss btw, that's awesome :)

    I always drink at least 10 cups a day, and it varies. Sometimes my body is like, "Thanks, I really needed this today," and I don't pee that often, but sometimes it just runs right through me like, "Hey, I'm good - ease up!"

    I go just about every hour too. At least it gets me up from my desk! I make sure to stop drinking 1hr before I work out, so i dont have to go during my workout. and I try to get all my water in by a decent time at night so im not waking up during the night to pee. Its gone away a little bit for me, but im still going often :-)

    I've been on this site for 150 days and have been drinking 8 glasses. I STILL pee all the time but I actually like it, knowing it is flushing all the fat and sodium out of my system. I've lost 29 pounds.

    Do you mean literally every hour, or is this a simile?

    Maybe a hyperbole? ; )

    Maybe- but she did use the operative 'like' and it clearly wasn't meant in the affectionate way. If she said "peeing all the time,' then that would strike me as hyperbole. One can't actually being ALL the time...


    -_- I never understood why people feel the need to correct/comment on the grammar/wording of people over the internet instead of simply giving them the advice they seek or answering whatever question they have. For the most part, I believe that people do not write/type on forums/internet the way they would an essay or an important document...BUT since you asked NEITHER, please forgive my poorly used word choice.

    I pee a lot.. Your body evens itself out though if you consistently drink that much water. (o:

    +1 on feeling good about peeing a lot.

    Apart from weight loss or appearance issues, and ignoring the fact that your cells produce lots of waste that does need to be washed out somehow, there's one reason that all by itself makes it totally worthwhile to drink plenty of water : kidney stones.

    I was "lucky" in that my stone was big enough to stay lodged in my kidney and just poke holes in stuff. The blood-colored urine was a complete surprise. I had my stone ultrasonically pulverized, so the only really painful part was the bill. But ask anyone who has had a stone get stuck anywhere downstream and I'm sure you'll hear some "motivational" tales.

    Since then (2-ish years ago) I've been a big-time water-drinker. I can't say that water-drinking is a sure form of prevention, but it certainly helps.

    I think the person that came up with the water ideal, is the same person that invented toilet paper LOL :):):)
