Here I grow again!
I don't know about you but, I really need to get my water intake up and stay consistent. My goal is at least 64 oz of water a day. It's 3pm and I haven't had any yet. Hence this challenge.

Anybody wanna join me? If so, just thank the post and post your daily goal. Then, check in daily to stay on track. Simple. Your hair, skin and overall health with thank you (not to mention getting weight under control). :yep:

That said, I'ma go get a glass of water while you're considering whether you want to join. I hope I come back to find I have company. :drunk:

Whisper "bleep boop" to yourself when you're sad.
I need this in my life, I've been seriously slacking on drinking water.

My goal is to drink 80-120 oz a day... I'd better get started. It's 2 in the afternoon and I still haven't drunk anything. :nono:

I will join :look: I hate water too. I will try to get 16oz in the increase next month to 24, during my work outs outside this is EASY breezy I usually go through 9 cups in an hour :nono: when not working out. I am working out inside not as thirsty. HUH going to get 8oz right now. LOL

I'm definitely in -- I get really good about drinking water for days at a time then I fall off, but for now I'm going to shoot for at least 1 liter a day, or approximately 32 ounces.

Y'all are reading my mind! I'm at 32 oz now. (2 water bottles). Halfway to my daily goal of 64 oz. I really want to do a gallon a day but I'm taking it slow.

I can definitely do this one! I've been pretty bad about my water intake. This will help me with my other challenges. I'll shoot for 64 oz. a day, if not more.

:woohoo: I have water buddies! Yes!!!!

And guess what. I didn't even drink while gone. Got distracted and took a nap. I'm not a big water drinker but usually can drink with lemon added. For awhile, I was on a roll and could drink it without lemon but, I'm starting from scratch now. :blush: AND, lemon is good to add anyway so, I'm drinking my first 8 oz now (@ 4:39pm :blush:). Hey! Better late than never.

Oh, and for some reason, I can't drink water first thing in the morning before eating. What's up with that?

In any case, I'm SO happy that you ladies are joining me. Let's drink to that! :superbanana:

I'm going to gradually work my up to 64oz.

I'll start with 3 cups (24oz) a day for a month and work my way up from there.

I haven't had any water today and it's already 5pm here, yikes!

Thanks for this challenge Njoy!

I'm joining. I drink so much fruit juice and I never drink water. I've been drink V8 Splash. The weird thing is when I'm thirst if I grab water first I will be satisfied and not even want to drink juice, but I just can not force myself to go for water first.

Oh lawd another needed challenge. I'm going to be the queen of challenges. I'm in. The sad part is I'm suffering from acute renal failure. I was good after I initially saw my neuphrologist but I fell off. My goal is 3L per day. He said that is good enough.

Girl, watch out for fruit juice. There are so many liquid calories in even 100% fruit juice. When I was preggy and gaining way too much weight, my dr told me to cut back on the fruit juices because of all the natural sugars/calories.

I find drinking bottles of water an easy option for passing up juices and bottled drinks. Something psychological about grabbing a water I guess. IDK.

I think I'll throw in some green tea, plain! ~ without sugar or honey ~ to get the additional benefits of green tea. Hey, it won't taste any better but at least it'll be a 2fer.

Count me in too! I used to be really good about drink water at one point all a drank was water and unsweetened herbal tea. I'm planning a new workout routine so I'm going to need to increase my water intake too! My goal is 48+ oz a day.

Good luck ladies!

I need to drink about 64oz of water a day too - especially on my workout days when its easier for me to be dehydrated. I also drink coffee so its even more imperative for me to load up on the water.
