Based on a trainer's advice as well as a few internet calculations, I've been given the recommendation to consume approximately a gallon of water per day. I am around 5'5 and currently weigh 244lbs.
How much do you consume?
Do you also feel like a camel?

I'm like a mermaid right now!
I drink 10 - 12 glasses a day but I love water!0 -
I strive for eight 8 oz. glasses/day...sometimes it's a little less, sometimes it's a little more. I don't belong to the "you must drink insane amounts of water daily" camp, though plenty of people are quite happy doing so.0

100-125 oz. / day.0

Drinking a lotta water is easy for me. I've done that long before I started on MFP. I'm almost constantly with a glass of water or iced green tea. So, whatever the recommended amount is, I guarantee I'm way over it.
I'm putting a lotta wear and tear on my shoes, though, with all the trips to the men's room.0 -
Personally I aim for 8 * 1 cup of water. However, I also run and wonder if I should try and up it...0

about 4-5 cups. I figure I get the rest through my food. I'm on campus all day and having to pee constantly is too annoying0

Around 8-10 glasses a day. I wonder if there are health benefits to drinking much more than this though, like many people on here do.0

I drink 16-22 glasses a day.0

I drink about 14 - 8 oz glasses a day.0

10 - 12 glasses and yes I do spend a lot of time in the bathroom.0

no less than 100....and I don't count seltzer water which is about a liter a day on top of the water0

between 8 and 12 glasses of water a day0

I probably drink 80-100 oz. per day. I carry around a camelback water bottle pretty much all day. Then of course there is the tea I drink in the morning and such, which is debatable on whether or not that counts towards water intake. But I would say I come pretty close to the gallon you were recommended.0

I drink a good 72 ounces (9 glasses) at work, then more at the gym or at home (which I don't track as much)0

Trying to get to 8 glasses but stuck at 6!!0

4 to 5 bottles..which is 8-10 glasses. More on a run day.0

About a gallon.
At work I get a 2L pitcher and fill it with ice water, usually drink that throughout the entire shift. Not counting the Litre in my smoothie, and the litre or two i drink before/during/after my workout.
Half my daily intake is shakes since I don't like eating at work, so that always puts me up pretty high.0 -
Over a gallon. I have consumed a gallon already today.0
