Water Intake

I often times don't meet the 8 cups, but can certainly tell when I'm getting sufficient water. By dinner time I'm usually done drinking water. I count tea that I brew at home toward my water, but it's not a majority of my intake.

I drink ONLY water and have done this since I was about 15-16 years old. So, my water intake always ads up to what I am suppsed to have every day. I don't mix anything in my water and lots of people don't know how I do it but I don't like the taste of anything in mine. The next time you buy any of the flavor packs, look on the back of the pack or box and you will see some of them contain caffiene, most all of them contain aspartame and all of them have sodium. By drinking even one of them a day you might as well drink a real diet drink and not waste your time on these because you are ruining the health benifits of your water. Read some labels and come back and let me know what you figure out! Don't just take my word for it! Study it out and read the labels! Most people just look at the front and see that it says "sugar free" and "ad to water" so tada they think HEALTHY but it isnt! Hope this helps you!!! After reading labels you will realize you are better off drinking plain water only!!!

I generally have my water in before the end of my work day. Other than a couple of cups of coffee -- water is all I drink.

And the occassional MARGARITA:drinker:

I take in my water throughout the day. I have a big water bottle that hold 18 ounces. On days I don't workout, I will go through 3-4 of them a day, no problem. On days I am working out, which is roller derby practice 3 days a week and free skating one day a week, I would say that doubles. I am not a fan of the Crystal Light little packets. I find that the flavor is too strong for me. I do like Mio. With my past kidney stone problems, I use the lemonade one, because the citric acid helps prevent the formation of stones.

I usually get close by the end of the work day, when I first triedto increase my intake I would set goals to have so much drank every hour or two hours and that helps keep me on track. I use the crystal light mixes and I work with a nutritionist and she said that using those aren't bad at all and its much better then drinking any type of soda although I don't use an entire packet for every water bottle I usually use just one packet for a days worth of water.

I probaly get in maybe 3 to 4 glasses of water a day. I recently read an article that I should be drinking about half my body weight in ounces. That would be more than 64 oz. a day. What a challenge.

i drink between 4-6 glasses of water per day and 1 or 2 crystal lites. im usually done my water by dinner or shortly after

I drink so much water and tea that I always have to get up in the middle of the night to go pee since I drink so much water especially at night while watching tv. I usually get (depending on how big my mug of the day is) 5+ glasses at work and then one bottle if not more while walking and then 3-4 cups of tea at night.

For those that are struggling with their water intake, there is an free app called "Water my Body" whichr ecommends how much water you should drink each day and sends you reminders every hour or so to drink more.

It's really helped me up my intake from 2-3 glasses a day to over 3 litres

I do drink my daily waterm just plain water and usually it is before supper because if I drink later in the evening I am up during the night to go pee.

I have a 22oz water bottle, and I fill it 5 or 6 times a day depending on what I'm doing for exercise. So between 110oz - 132oz.

I have a bottle of water with breakfast, sometimes around 10am, lunch, around 2pm-3pm, supper, and one at about 8pm.

Sad to say I do not make my water goal each day. I can only blame myself.

I have usually met my water intake by lunch and I only put fresh lemon in it.

I drink 10-12 (160z bottles) a day !! I make sure that when the water bottle is empty I refill right away!!!
H20 Rocks!!!!

I typically just drink water... 15-20 cups a day.
