Hola chicas! Just checking in. I actually drank 70 oz (6 oz more than my goal!) today and it was so much easier than I thought it would be! I have a huge 50 oz bottle and a smaller 20 oz that I reuse and refill. I am very proud of myself right now for taking the time to stay hydrated since that's my biggest issue. I can't wait to do it all over again tomorrow!

Way to go aishasoleil!
Congratulations godzchildtoo!
We're doing it ladies!!
I am in for all four quaters, I am commiting to drink a minimum of 57 oz (I have a big bottle at work, and will fill it up in the morning), I expect to drink more than that outside of work. I am doing it more for my skin than hair. Since I am taking Biotin, my skin acts horribly when I don't drink enough water.

I went through a period last year when I wanted to work on drinking more water and Crystal Light really helped me a lot. It was super hard for me to enjoy plain water because I was so used to drinking Kool-aid (LOL! My husband finally broke me of that by not letting me buy any. I went cold turkey
) and soda. Eventually, I got to the point where I got sick of all the flavors and I discovered that as long as my water is very cold, it goes down just fine! Nothing else truly quenches my thirst anymore. Just keep drinking and you'll definitely get to your goal and then some!

This might be a silly question BUT if I add a bit of crystal light or something to the water does that still count? (not enough for the color to completely change but enough to offset the taste)
The water in the cafeteria at my school always tastes like the Powerade fountain it comes from. Bottled water is not eco-friendly, I don't trust the water n Boston.
I'll suck it up and drink Powerade tainted water if I need too but I would just like to know lol.

Ideally it should be plain water but that being said, if you need to add Crystal Light to the Powerade tainted water then by whatever means necessary. Try to use it as a last resort though if you can. We'll cheer for you

Welcome New Challengers, the more the merrier!
Checking in. I'm definitely behind schedule today (like two bottles behind schedule). I was ahead until 5pm then, I don't know how but time got away from me, but I will do it.

Just checking in before bed: I got in 90 oz today! I just couldn't stop drinking that water! I even tried to stop at 70 but I kept craving it. Also, I was snacking on almonds and I really needed something to wash them down. LOL! I don't even feel thirsty, I just wanted to drink it. We will see how tomorrow goes. I hope that this isn't just excitement from joining a challenge! I'm going to work hard not to fall off the wagon. 
Good night ladies! Hasta luego!

Whoa, 90oz that's terrific! Well, if it's just the excitement from joining a challenge I hope you keep riding that the entire time

Hi curly2shoez! The best part of this is even though you may sometimes fall short of your goal, drinking water has become something near the forefront of your mind as opposed to something we may concider once a week or month. Even short of 64oz you're drinking more water now than you have in the past.

LMAO Ihave to work on my spellings
Anyhow, yes its above my original goal which was 64. I really like this challenge its the best thing for me. I try to consume more than my goal so that on "bad" days I may end up consuming my original goa
today i made it to 72 in addition, I had 2 glasses of diluted juice but I wont include it.
I go to sleep now good luck to everyone
