Hi there
I was advised to drink half your weight in ounces. So I try to drink 88 ounces because I weigh 176lbs. Hope this helps! ππΌ
I, too, have been advised by multiple doctors (holistic and standard Western) to drink at least 1/2 my bodyweight (lbs) in ounces. So I'm at about 75 ounces before accounting for replenishing due to activity.6 -

I get it! My issue is I've flirted with an eating disorder in the past and can get too extreme, so I need to remind myself that moderation and health come first. I've had a tendency to extreme dieting and it's caused health issues that are now safely under control- and I want to keep them there!
Whatever gets you to your goal (safely) is what's best for you!
Gotcha! @judefit14 -

I aim for the "half your body weight" goal. I realistically range between 48 and 80 with 48 being a really bad day.
My Benefits:- I go to the bathroom a lot - so I assume that's flushing my system
- I do see a "freshness" in my face. My husband says I'm vibrant
- It makes you feel fuller so you "supposedly" eat less
Here are some from the web. I guess there's a lot going on behind the scenes..
1. It lubricates the joints
Cartilage, found in joints and the disks of the spine, contains around 80 percent water. Long-term dehydration can reduce the jointsβ shock-absorbing ability, leading to joint pain.
2. It forms saliva and mucus
Saliva helps us digest our food and keeps the mouth, nose, and eyes moist. This prevents friction and damage. Drinking water also keeps the mouth clean. Consumed instead of sweetened beverages, it can also reduce tooth decay.
3. It delivers oxygen throughout the body
Blood is more than 90 percent water, and blood carries oxygen to different parts of the body.
4. It boosts skin health and beauty
With dehydration, the skin can become more vulnerable to skin disorders and premature wrinkling.
5. It cushions the brain, spinal cord, and other sensitive tissues
Dehydration can affect brain structure and function. It is also involved in the production of hormones and neurotransmitters. Prolonged dehydration can lead to problems with thinking and reasoning.
6. It regulates body temperature
Water that is stored in the middle layers of the skin comes to the skinβs surface as sweat when the body heats up. As it evaporates, it cools the body. In sport.
Some scientists have suggested that when there is too little water in the body, heat storage increases and the individual is less able to tolerate heat strain.
Having a lot of water in the body may reduce physical strain if heat stress occurs during exercise. However, more research is needed into these effects.
7, The digestive system depends on it
The bowel needs water to work properly. Dehydration can lead to digestive problems, constipation, and an overly acidic stomach. This increases the risk of heartburn and stomach ulcers.
8. It flushes body waste
Water is needed in the processes of sweating and removal of urine and feces.
9. It helps maintain blood pressure
A lack of water can cause blood to become thicker, increasing blood pressure.
10. The airways need it
When dehydrated, airways are restricted by the body in an effort to minimize water loss. This can make asthma and allergies worse.
11. It makes minerals and nutrients accessible
These dissolve in water, which makes it possible for them to reach different parts of the body.
12. It prevents kidney damage
The kidneys regulate fluid in the body. Insufficient water can lead to kidney stones and other problems.
13. It boosts performance during exercise
Dehydration during exercise may hinder performance.
Some scientists have proposed that consuming more water might enhance performance during strenuous activity.
More research is needed to confirm this, but one review found that dehydration reduces performance in activities lasting longer than 30 minutes.
14. Weight loss
Water may also help with weight loss, if it is consumed instead of sweetened juices and sodas. βPreloadingβ with water before meals can help prevent overeating by creating a sense of fullness.
15. It reduces the chance of a hangover
When partying, unsweetened soda water with ice and lemon alternated with alcoholic drinks can help prevent overconsumption of alcohol.
@itladyee wow, way to support! Thanks!7 -

@Krysless2
Keto WOE?
This one is just plain easy for me because I love FAT! I started tracking on carb manager in early 2019, learned how, then switched back to MFP. MFP is excellent for tracking macros. Iβve always been βclean ketoβ, and I have never purchased any keto productsβ¦ because all processed food, keto or not, is filled with chemicals and preservatives. Eat clean for best results. Please feel free to check out my History & Journey. No secrets or tips from meβ¦. Just eat allowable foods, record macros & kcals. I did go through a keto flu phase in 2019 but once my body got used to it, it has never returned. I also experienced horrific leg cramping, but learned to supplement with electrolytes, magnesium and potassium. Its important to also track calories because if you eat too much, no matter what diet or macro plan youβre on, you will not lose weight if you are over eating. Iβm Ketovore nowβ¦. Animal based protein and every now and then a few vegetables and berries. Works for me. Good luck! π5 -

F, 48, have come and gone from MFP a few times and now bigger than I've ever been - currently UK size 14/16 and hoping to get back into my size 12 shorts for summer.

3/7: 165.5 - nice start but I am in the early stages. Just did a core workout and my gut is shaking all over the place.

RD 253 (my first official full round!)
252 EW 281.0
During my trial round I ended up .2lbs above where I started. But confirmed alcohol is what has been holding me back. To my surprise, this morning I jumped below my starting weight from last round! I only weigh the 1st, 5th, and 10th days officially to keep moral up for me. I may check as im feeling it in between those dates but don't record it. I'm off for a weekend with friends and my goal is no more than 2 drinks a night, if i feel like it. Im also working on not drinking just because everyone else is, as I tend to do. Last week I went a bit crazy multiple days because I didn't want to be the odd man out. So I've bought some zero calorie sodas to take with me so I have an alternative 'fun' drink. I prefer moderation to full elimination (to avoid binge crave eating), so I'm giving myself a daily limit if I end up wanting to have an alcoholic drink.
Goal: 1-2lbs

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 253 (my 183rd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale still being erratic, obviously reflects rate of consistency (or not!) with walking mileage as well as food. Must concentrate on consistency, really want to get back. And to break the βalways looking for something to put in my mouthβ syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, itβs taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

@_JeffreyD_ We spend most of our time hitting the heavy bags, hitting pads and doing non contact work with each other.
But we do actually get in the ring! When youβre ready and if you want to. I usually go in a few times a year.
You only think you know how to slip a punch until you actually have to slip a punch!!!5
