There used to be an on-going water challenge but I don't see it anymore, so I'd like to start another. We can all get the most out of this WOE by making sure we get an adequate amount of water into our systems. My goal is 1 gallon a day (16 cups)...It has been proven to help with weightloss, it makes your skin glow, helps your organs function better and its just plain good for you!


My plan of attack is a cheap blue plastic tumbler cup that I bought from the dollar store and a straw! It holds a little over 2 cups. I drink 1 before I leave the house, 2 before lunch, 1 with lunch, 2 after lunch, 2 in the evening...this equals 16 actual cups. This also has a dual purpose, it will lead me to drink less "non-water" beverages as well.

I'm starting today...I hope you'll join me! cheer:

I going to dive in this one with you. I kind of stuck on my low carb over the Mach break. I am going to start to day with the water with you.

I"m in too. I drink mostly water now anyway but need to up it a bit!

Great! Welcome! What kind of goal are you going to set for yourself?

100 ounces a day!

Great! I used to have a bottle that held 33 ounces...I would psyche myself up saying "ONLY 3 OF THESE A DAY...."

I'm already halfway to my daily goal...but it can easily go down hill from here! I try to look at my bathroom breaks in a positive light...I sit at a desk ALL DAY...so at least that is forcing me to get up and walk across the office. Next week, maybe I'll add a twist...20 squats in the stall each time I go. I can certainly use an extra 100 squats a day!

I drink 1-3 liters of iced tea, about 1 liter of water, and 5-10 cups of coffee each day. Does that count?

I don't want to be the water police...but maybe you could try shifting those ratios a bit. Like maybe 1 liter of iced tea, and 3-4 liters of water?

The the water police lol, I am jumping in too. I am shooting for 2 liters a day. This is a great challenge and you came along at the right time for me. Thanks 5KBound! good luck everyone.~ Darleen

I drink 8 cups of water yesterday. I stop drinking pop. Every where I went I took my water bottle with me. After 6pm I stopped drinking. I know that having drinking that much water I was not hungry. I only had 4 eggs and two low carb susage that was it. I was not hungry so I did not bother to eat. Well It is 7: 26 down here so I got start my day with my water.

Hey 5k Bound to answer your question I am drinking 18 cups of water. that is my Goal. Eventually that is my plan. I said I am drinking because I want to believe it so I am drinking 18 cups of water. I don't want to say I will not do it. I find it when I add a slice of fresh lemon I drink a lot of water. Thank you for starting the water
Good luck every one

this may be just the thing I need - I drink so little and so many diet cokes, it is awful......

Okay got my water in yesterday! Okay here I go today!

I'm in! My water intake has really fallen by the wayside and I need to increase it. Thanks for this challenge!

Great! I'm glad this is giving you all a little boost! I certainly needed one. I didn't get in the entire gallon yesterday but I still did really well. I'm determined to do it today! Good luck everyone!
