The september water challenge really helped me to get in all my water so I am starting one for october! Everyone feel free to join in and lets drink some water this month!
I did get in all my water again today!

thx Junie for starting this....I will join.

I need to get 120oz + a day in 160 on fridays (BF testing day).

Hey Junie,

I'm back for another month of water.

Perhaps our theme song should be "Cool Water" by Eddie Arnold?

I'm hoping for 128 oz. or more daily this month. I've gotten in about 40 so far this morning (7 am here)

Hi guys!
I have 33oz in so far...pretty good for me since I usually start drinking it after lunch!

Hi everyone, I would love to join the challenge. How much should a person drink each day? I don't love water, but I will force it down, if that what I need to make this work.

I have heard 2 things...one is 64 oz and 8 oz for every 25 lbs to lose and 2nd is 1/2 oz for every lb you weigh! I guess either of them should work!

I am "in" on this one! Before lowcarbing I probably drank about eight ounces of water a day and the rest in coffee. I too, have heard that 64oz plus 8 oz for every 25lbs you are overweight. I am going to start with that standard this month and reevaluate for next month. So my goal for October is 72oz a day!

Here we go..................

Carole - My baseline is 128 oz. a day. You really can't drink too much water!

I truly believe that the 64 oz. Dr. Atkins recommends is not sufficient. Body for Life guru Bill Phillips says 100 oz. is a bare minimum. I guess the important thing is to make a conscious effort to get the water your body needs every day.

In the meantime:

All day I've faced a barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear, water

Keep a-movin, Dan, dontcha listen to him, Dan
He's a devil, not a man
He spreads the burning sand with water
Dan, can ya see that big, green tree?
Where the water's runnin' free
And it's waitin' there for me and you?

The nights are cool and I'm a fool
Each star's a pool of water
Cool water
But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn
And carry on to water
Water, water, water

So, how is everyone doing with their water intake? I know for me it has really motivated me, did not miss a day in sept of getting in my water! I hope for the same this month!

OK, I think I slacked a bit yesterday, but today, 1 gal for sure!! I plan on having a bit of wine tonight, so I better have extra.

I'm a little late to the game, but I'm in. My goal is 100 oz a day. I'm hoping that if I drink more water, I will not be as tempted to eat things that I know aren't good for me.

I have to hurry and get my last 2 bottles of water in, but I am planning on doing it!
