Challenge #1: One Gallon of WATER a day

I just finished my gallon. I'm drinking water before a meal and when I get up in the morning. That's one of my game plans.

@tamren-the scheduled water drinking sounds like a good ieea. I was only able to get about 40 oz down, but tomorrow will be a better water day!

goooooooo tamren!! I need to start doing that.

I didnt make my goal today. I only got in 48 ozs.

Okay..so I've been able to get 3 cups in. Running to get some more. Trying to incorporate some exercise in before work tonight.

Ok so scratch the gallon I drank yesterday b/c I ended up drinking more, total of 148oz.

Keep up the good work ladies!

got in sixty four ozs, going by wt i am three ozs short but i cant drink another drop.

Great job raina.

That's great Chrs! Nice tips. I always drink water during my workouts, I need it! lol If I don't I will roll over and die. I really need to drink water prior to meals so I'll eat less. It really does work. Now it's a matter of doing it all the time...

I got 128oz in yesterday.

On Saturday I was able to drink the gallon [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] but the rest of the day I felt like my head was swimming. I know that it is due to the small period of time I consume the water so on Sunday I drank the amount of water in accord to my body weight and that went better. Another issue I am having is it being so cold! I am not as thirsty as I would be and I have to heat the water now. I never really drink cold water anyway most of the time it is lukewarm.

Made my gallon today! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I just have a gallon jug at my desk at the office and keep drinking in between patients. Never been to the bathroom so much in 1 day at work. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I had the nerve to stop at bob evans and ordered hot chocolate mocha drink(on the way back).Had wendys for lunch and had a pop [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I am going to try and turn this around before midnight.

Woo Go Luvmeluvmyfro!! lol My water must be cold!

Great work divadr!! I know what you mean. When I was pregnant with my son I had to drink over 1 gallon a day. I lived in the bathroom!

Oh nooo raina! Get it together girly! Don't drink too much in such a short amount of time, just try to get what you can. Good luck. I'm sure you will be back on track.

I'm happy to say I finished my gallon at 4:30pm. I'll probably be drinking more as well. SO bought me some diet soda. Like I needed it..

I'm carrying a bottle with me too..it's making it easier to get that gallon in. Got two more bottles to go.

Wow, NikG20, a gallon before 5 PM. You go miss thang!

I did finish my gallon before 11 PM last night. I would have done better but I went out with hubby shopping right after work (two hours without any water).

@raina, were you able to get in some water. Let us know.

I drink my water lukewarm also LuvMeLuvMyFro. I heard this is best for you since your body temperature is 96 or so degrees.

@Tamren, anything else you do to help you get in your gallon a day?

I drink at least two bottles (20oz) before 12 noon, and drink one between 3-5 pm, and get 2 in before 11 pm. (this is a new strategy...we'll see if this works!)

That's funny because I heard the opposite. I was told that drinking cold water makes your body work to heat it up which leads to burning calories.

I've heard both about the temperature thing, but living in Europe for 6 years has me off ice for the most part, so I drink my water room temp unless it's crazy hot outside. Unfortunately, I got completely off track and have only had 32 ounces today at 8 pm. I was using a travel mug and really got thrown off track on amounts, so it's back to the gallon jug tomorrow. For now, will try to drink another 32 ounces before I go to bed.

I have not been able to get my gallon in this week I'm drinking more water than I usually do. The crystal light/drink packets do help me to take more down, but is it really better to drink just straight water??

That is great Chrs!!

I haven't made my gal yet, but I'm sure I will. I ate bad today so boo me. Tomorrow is a new day. I did do 1 hour on the stationary bike. So I guess it's not tooooooo bad.

Gallon plus more in today!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Drinking from jug definitely helps.
