Do you log your water?

I never do ~ I don't see any benefit to it. I drink between 10-14 glasses of water a day, more depending on my workout.

    No not really but I never drink it unless I log it either. So I guess I should start making myself again.

    I drink a ton of water, so I don't bother. I did at first, but it was just one more thing to log and I was never under 9 glasses. I love water. :-)

    Always. But I wasn't a big water drinker and it helped to keep track, or to keep "score" to make sure I got enough.

    No, but I am always drinking it so I know I get enough.

    I do, but I find it helps me pay attention to it and I drink more this way.

    I don't log it because it's pretty much all I drink and get plenty of it. Always have a glass or bottle with water within reach.

    I log my water but that is because it's a challenge to get the required amount. I think though that what I'm hearing is that maybe we log our water when its a challenge and when you are getting enough its not needed. I like to think its a reminder to make sure you are getting enough. Speaking of, i better go get a glass. :)

    I figure if I'm logging my food, might as well log my water. I get between 12 and 24 servings of 8oz depending on my sleep or how thirsty I am from either working out or anything else, but I like to make sure I'm getting an adequate amount. Plus it's not like it's a hassle to log, even on the app.

    Nope.
    Partly because I think fluid is fluid and if I only get a few glasses of pure water in it does not mean I'm going to dry up. Plus water is one of the few things I don't meticulously measure. When I was strict, I would always get mad at wait staff in restaurants for refilling my glass too soon making me lose track ;)

    I think it's good to track it at first if you aren't used to drinking water, or drinking at all (some people just don't drink anything). Then it becomes habit.

    No. It doesn't matter to me. I drink a lot of water, and even more in the summer. I don't log anything with a ZERO calorie count, including Diet Coke, etc. Just don't see a need to track it.

    I drink quite alot and know I get enough, sometimes I will log but most of the time I don't.

    No, I never do. I drink water all day long so I don't see much point.

    I do, even if I'm at the recommended amount. I'm logging food, I might as well add water.

    I always do--I mean, why not? It doesn't take that much effort to log it you know?

    No... I don't really get that. Why do they go by glasses? Glasses can be all different sizes. I just drink out of a water bottle. I wish they made it so you could keep track in oz, not glasses.

    I don't, just because I forget. Save for the occasional cup of tea, coffee or a diet coke splurge...I always have water

    I log everything- water included. I drink a lot of it, and I am never under, but I like seeing how well I've done on everything at the end of the day. :)

    I don't bother logging fluid intake. As a long-term stoner (as in kidney stones, got it?), I learned long ago that staying hydrated is key to my personal well-being. I can tell when I'm not getting enough water, because I can walk past the men's room.

    Me too! I just fill up my 1 liter water bottle twice a day or use my 2 liter bottle and then I know I drank enough.

    It should be in ounces!

    A single serving, or "glass" of water is considered to be 8oz. Whether or not MFP has it meant to be 1 serving per 8oz as far as logging, that's what a lot of people, myself included, go by.

    I stop counting after 9, cause I figure, what's the point? It says you gotta have at least 8, so once I go over, it's like a goal I meet daily. Then if I am short, I make sure to get to at least 8.

    I do log water so I am reminded of how important it is daily. Most days I'm way over but occasionally I am not having enough and logging it helps me.

    I drink a lot of water and I log it too better keep up with how much I am drinking.
