Well, no one is advocating that a person drink a few gallons except
for
one
anonymous poster who appears to be trolling.

That was who I was responding to, and his suggestion that obese
people
should drink "several gallons" a day. You never know what people
might
try
when they read advice like that...
I'm not denying that drinking enough water is indeed a good thing
(though
one should be cautious with *miniral* water).



I agree.

Under normal conditions, thirst is a good enough indicator for keeping
oneself properly hydrated.


Thirst is a poor indicator according to this and many other articles.
There
are so many benefits to keeping properly hydrated - why wait until
you're
thirsty?

Thank you for an interesting article. Kleiner made up her own
definition of "mild dehydration", as being loss of 1-2% of body weight
as fluid. The nationally acceptable definition is 3-5%.

He did the same thing last time we had a water challenge. I really don't
give a damn about the definition of dehydration - I just want to remember to
drink plenty of water!

He's still trying to prove that he's right and we're somehow "insane" as
he
called it before...gee, wonder who the insane one is here? Since it's not
something he practices and probably because I'm involved, he needs to try
and **** on our parade. BFD. For every study he's produced, we've
produced
others. Let him play his game because all it does is show what a nitpick
know-it-all he is.

Yes, this is so we pay attention to how much water we're drinking, a
healthy
habit. Maybe instead it should be a saturated fat challenge?

No joke. I mean who gives a flying f*ck about why he doesn't want to do
this.

Ok folks, this was a great idea in the past and it's time to resurrect it.

For those who are new or didn't pay attention last time - a water

challenge

is *not* who can drink the most water. It is a way for you to set a goal
for yourself, a healthy one, and try to meet it one day at a time. Most
experts recommended that we drink at least 64 oz. of water per day for a
multitude of reasons though many of us do find it helps with weight loss
too. However, a number of us find we let this go while working on our
healthy WOE. The purpose of this challenge is to bring your attention to
how much water you are drinking.

Participation is completely voluntary. If you think this is an "insane"
idea then just go play with yourself and leave the rest of us alone.

Starting tomorrow (Monday 8/29), post your results (goal/actual) at the

end

of the day.

I should join in. Although right now I'm 1/2 way thru a 1 liter bottle and
I'm also fighting an allergy/cold that has decided to attack my throat this
morning. I'm finding drinking water is not very soothing.

Lately I've been drinking too much diet soda and not enough water. I
really need to change that.

I also like the old drinking game we once had on ASD. Anytime you read a
post with the word Water in it, you drink.

LOL, that's what works for me! I'm not counting, I'm just drinking
every time I get up to pee, as well as anytime it occurs to me.

I also like to start out the day with two full glasses of water. I'm
doing another "Body for Life" challenge and a nick-name we've got for
that is "Potty for Life" because of all the water we drink.

LOL! My co-workers probably think I've contracted some sort of exotic
disease considering how often I run to the bathroom.

I'll try to be in, though I haven't been reading lately!

But, I *am* painting my living room and it has been a huge chore as
much of the walls need repair before painting. I'm definitely not
drinking enough and I feel it. So anything to make me think about
drinking more is good.

I haven't been eating right lately either, so maybe getting back to my
water will help with that.
