Two litres a day.

I can't do that and come up with anything sensible. Do you mean half
the number of pounds? Half the number of ounces would be enough to
take a bath!

Less than 32oz/day. That's about 1/5 my bodyweight(pounds swapped with
oz). 16 of those ounces are consumed while at the gym. The other 16
are sipped slowly throughout the day. Any more than that will just hide
definition or show up on the scale.

Why is everyone so hung up on counting ounces of water anyways? I
firmly believe the human body is smart enough to know when it need more
fluids and communicate this through the mechanism known as "thirst". I
haven't forced myself to drink any extra fluids, and have has some
success. Though to be fair, I do have to say that I want to drink alot
more watery stuff than I did before I started my new life.

Ice tea w/Splenda = Water, in my book.

I wouldn't say I consciously measure it but I drink from a sports bottle
that has measured lines on it. I fill the 32oz bottle half way twice.
Most of the time I don't finish the second filling so that's how I know
it's less than 32oz.

I don't measure it at all -- just drink water when I feel I want some.
I've always liked water, so don't find it a struggle to drink it.
(However, I should probably drink less Diet Pepsi, and if so I'd
undoubtedly drink more water :-).)

Some people swear that drinking loads of water helps with weight loss. I
drank loads of it at first because I figured I'd try anything to help lose
the weight. When I first started, I pretty much hated water, now it's my
preferred beverage most of the time. Now, I drink when I'm thirsty, though
I'll make a conscious effort to drink even if I don't feel the urge, before
a hard work out or during a long bike ride.

I've seen and experienced the effects of not drinking enough liquids during
a long bike ride - it's not fun. I always aim for around 16oz for every
hour I'm riding.
