June Drink More Water Challenge

Daily goal is 8

6/1 - 6
6/2 - 4
6/3- 6
6/4- 8

Got there at last! It's winter and I find it easy to forgot but today was a public holiday and I went on a hike and got through 6 glasses worth while out :bigsmile:

I would suggest starting out slow and working your way up to 8 glasses. I've pushed water before, and it made me sick. That way your bladder will get used to the slowly increasing water amount.

^ Surely this tells you that you don't need to drink so much!



I'm not sure this is true. I can always tell when I haven't had enough water. Low energy, foggy mind, I have more cravings and at my worst, sore muscles. When I start to pick the water back up I always have to pee a lot! Very quickly I feel much better, I drop any weight my body has held onto in dehydration, and my body not only adjusts to the water but craves it. It's just my personal experience, but I don't agree that if you pee a lot when you drink water that it always means you are properly hydrated.

I am in , hopefully I will do better this time around.

6/1: 3 glasses
6/2: 4 glasses
6/3: 8 glasses

Great job getting the 8 in yesterday!

6/4 -- 3 glasses. Not a good start to my month, but ever onward!

New here!
Going to try for 6 a day. Might up it to 8 next week.

Thanks for the warm welcome and encouragement lamlam. So happy I found this board, and know without a doubt it will help me be consistent in getting my 2 liter per day down. Will I ever get to the place I crave water? People have said they do, but I never reached that point yet in my 66 years.

Just wondering if anyone is feeling like they have to force themselves to drink water. I simply don't get too thirsty throughout the day it's not just with water-it's almost 6 pm and all I have had is 1 bottle of water, no other drinks. I've really been trying to be more conscious of drinking water but through this process I've realized/noticed it's not just water, I simply don't drink much during the day period.

? Im so struggling in the drinking water department...I just can't seem to get myself to drink more. I genreally don't drink much of anything throughout the day...a bottle of water at the gym in the a.m and maybe and iced coffee in the afternoon and that's it. Bad I know, but how can I force myself to drink more?

Will I ever get to the place I crave water?

The only times this happens with me is when I have taken a long bike ride. Other than that I always need to think about drinking more water.

Yes, this...also drinking flavored water like Wal-Mart's version of Crystal Light helps, and when it's very hot outside. haha

I don't offer a lot in the way of encouragement for this challenge, other than to raise a glass to those reading along. I drink close to a gallon of water most days. I will, once in a while, throw in a large unsweet tea to mix things up, but I almost ALWAYS have a cup (32 oz) of water sitting next to me.

I missed my goal by 2 glasses yesterday. Just could not force it down afterall. I thought I had it made, but sadly didn't! Will do better today, promise! Good luck to everyone else and have a good day.

Daily goal is 8

6/1 - 6
6/2 - 4
6/3- 6
6/4- 8
6/5- I didn't record. Spent day in bed and doubt I got to 4
6/6- Think I made it to 5

I have always enjoyed drinking water and thought I had enough. It's only when tracking it I realise how much more I need. I just wish I could remember to keep track when I am on the go.

What helps me is putting my water in a water bottle that holds about 3 glasses of water. I just have to remember how many times I fill it up -- haha.
