How much water do you drink daily?
I know they say water is one of the keys to weight loss, and I am definitely super sensitive to water weight. I'm just wondering how much you drink a day and if there is a specific amount that you think makes THE difference?

Re: How much water do you drink daily?
according to my wellness doc- you should drink half your weight in oz
so if you weigh 120- that's 60 oz a day

At least? Or at most?
I usually drink 3-3.5 liters a day, so that's like 93-110 oz. And I weight 118 or so.

Re: How much water do you drink daily?
I try to drink around 3 bottles - 17 oz a piece each day. Sometimes I drink more but very rarely less than that. I crave my water if I don't have enough!

Re: How much water do you drink daily?
If I drank based on my weight, 55 oz wouldn't feel like enough for me.
On work out days, I try to get 80 oz. It really varies though. I just know that I feel better if I stay well hydrated.

I drink a gallon daily! I started it while I was prepping for my figure show and now that I am pregnant it is even more important!

About a gallon or more. I am ALWAYS feeling dehydrated even with all that water.

Re: How much water do you drink daily?
It's the one healty habit I have always had. I still became overweight but when I put my mind to it and I started a strict diet the water helped me stick to it. I have a back injury and I think that my pain could be even worse without all of the water I drink.

That's 85 ounces for me, no way I do that much. I think 60 on a good day.
I don't count coffee or tea. Basically anything with caffeine in it, because of the diuretic effects may counteract the water.

First off CONGRATS!! I've been a bit MIA from the board and just catching this now!! OMG I am so happy for you!!!
Now to answer the question....I do 1.5 gallons daily. Yes I know...What!!?? I weigh 115 pounds and drink 32 oz of pretty hot water (I micro it for 4 minutes) with a little lemon juice right upon getting out of bed (TMI- it gets everything 'moving') I do take about 10 cups of that 1.5 gallons to make my dandelion root tea and green tea. I drink out of a container that holds 74.4 ounces so its not as hard as it sounds for me to get that much. (and I don't drink any other kinds of drinks during the day)
For anyone having trouble getting enough. I suggest an app called WaterYourBody. Its something I use with my challenge participants and everyone manages to get the minimum I ask of 3 liters daily with it.
