How much water.....

chelseakopperud

do you drink (or try to drink) per day?

I am on a water kick and my goal each day is 64 ounces. How much do you ladies try to drink/day?

Jessica632011

I also try to always drink 64 ounces but I almost always go over that anyway. These days I try to only drink water, especially since everything else has calories!

AlliJae

I try to drink about 80 oz. a day. I carry around a travel mug with me that is usually between 8-10 oz. And I try to refill it about 10 times a day.
But I think that is on the high side. And there are studies that say you can also drink TOO much water. So I'm not sure what the "right" amount is.

KrisKenny

I've seen it say that 64 oz is good per day.

I try to drink the 64 oz, but most days I only drink 48-50 oz (3 bottles full).

Ash61612

I drink only water, sometimes coffee in the moring so I know I get my water in. I get around 80 oz's a day. I am so used to drinking water that  on days I don't get it in, I can tell.
I have a big cup I keep with me when I am around the apartment, a cup at my desk at work and a water bottle I take out with me to practices/games.

Interesting!

I have a huge water bottle that I have been keeping with me. It holds 32 ounces. I try to drink that while at work and then 1 more bottle when I get home and while I am working out. I used to only drink a mountain dew (20oz) and milk. No water at all! I am so glad I kicked the soda addiction!!

good for you! don't you feel so much better without soda? FI drinks 2-3 a day and I really hope he can cut back

Zimsgirl

I never drink enough. I'm always cramping up (feet, stomach, etc). Whenever I get cramps FI brings me water lol. He drinks a ton of it because he works out twice a day. And I never get cramps with my period but today they were so bad I could barely get out of bed!

I feel stronger when I workout!!

chelseamb11

I have an extremely small bladder so drinking that much water means I pee every 10 minutes the whole day. Not possible lol. I drink 32 when I work out so I sweat a lot of it out.  Then I maybe drink another 8-16 in the evenings.  But that's it.

</div><div>It will, I promise! I will have a sip of FI every once in a while and think I don't know why I needed to have it so much! But I think it is mainly the caffeine, so once you get past that your okay.

<div>How are you ladies finding it with no soda? I used to have a Diet Coke every day until someone in my office told me it's melting my brain (or something along those lines) so I stopped drinking it.....I used to get horrible stomach aches and they are gone now.  Also, I'm finding I have a lot more energy and a lot less bloating!!</div>

midgetthemighty

I have a 160z canteen at work that I fill up every day but I normally don't drink all of it. Other than that, I rarely drink water.

diamondx423

Usually about 80 oz a day, less on weekends because we're out and I don't carry a bottle. I have a 32oz bottle at work that I fill at least twice, plus water when I get home. I do pee all the time.

HarperBargo

I always drink water. Even as a kid I preferredwater. I drink probably around 80oz. I always have a water bottle on me.

</div><div>I feel much better when I work out now because I'm not drinking soda. I agree about being a lot less bloated too which is great. When I first started working out a lot I was still drinking soda and not losing weight. I stopped the soda and started losing the weight!

I try to drink 10-12 8 oz. glasses a day. Sometimes I'm a little over and sometimes I'm under. It just depends. It is annoying though because I have to pee in the middle of the night all the time.

BluIvory82

On a bad day I will drink 6 water bottles and on a good day I will drink 8. I only drink water. I cut out everything a year and 2 months ago. I just listen to my body. If I am dehydrated then I will drink more.

Cassandra999

oh my.  you guys are so good with water.

I try but I usually end up drinking  2 16.9oz bottles a day.  and a glass or 2 more if I work out.  I try but not hard enough.  I started drinking more juice so that kind of helps.

I hate that!

Carebear62584

Not nearly enough! I hardly drink water unless it's summer or I'm working out.  My body doesn't handle a lot of liquid as it is.  I feel extremely bloated if I drink too much water.  In a typical day I drink a small or med. iced coffee from Dunkin, 1 cup of water, and 1/2-full can of soda. 

MichelleAG05

My company had a health speaker one time talk about the dehyrating effects of caffeine (soda and coffee) and how much water intake it takes to counter-balance the effects.  It was a lot!

I don't drink enough - usually averaging 16-24 oz per day.  I've been trying a lot harder lately though.  The rule of thumb if you're not an active person is to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water.  If you work out, you're supposed to increase that.

I meet with my personal trainer tonight and I've drank less than 20 oz so far today.  Oops.

I'm the same way!  I feel like an over-filled water balloon when I drink too much water.  I hae a 28 oz bottle that I carry at work.  I drink at least one, but try to drink two at day.  Diet Coke is my addiction.  I drink way too many, but I don't drink coffee, tea or milk. 

MMRoberts11

I try to drink at least  64 oz a day.  I have a water bottle that I carry with me so I can get in at least one bottle (24 oz) before lunch, another bottle over the course of lunch/the 30 minutes after lunch, and then at least another bottle in the afternoon. 

I also have to drink coffee in the morning to get me going (yep, I'm addicted, no matter what I HAVE to have caffeine in the morning or I'm dead until noon).  Beyond that I usually try to drink more water when I'm home before bed but if I drink any beyond after dinner I always have to wake up to pee, so I try to limit water or juice after 630pm.

Cassiebug11

Oh man. You ladies are impressive. I'm terrible at drinking water. I'm hardly ever thirsty unless I'm eating. So I really don't drink much throughout the day except at meal times. I've been drinking a lot of gatorade lately but on a normal day I'd say I drink around 16-24 oz. I also have a tiny bladder and I would be peeing like a pregnant lady if I drank 64 oz in a day!
