Just wondering...
does it make a difference when you drink your water??? I drink only 1 liter in the morning and 3 more in the afternoon, I don't know if it would be better if I drink more before lunch.

I don't know. I drink most of mine between 11 AM and 5 PM. I drink much after 5 or 6 I"m up all night running to the potty.

I actually don't know but it seems like the sooner you get it all in there, the quicker it starts flushing out our system. I like to get most of mine done for another reason... I DON'T like an overloaded bladder at bedtime...lol.

I think the earlier the better because in my case it helps me control my hunger through out the day. I try to have two liters by lunch time.

I try to have all my water in before 3 or 4 in the afternoon or I will be up at night. I love my sleep too much for that

I try to get it all in by 5pm with about 16 oz at nite to flush out dinner.

Otherwise Im up all nite.

I am a wateraholic. I drink it nonstop all day. I just cannot get enough. The more I have the more I want (not diabetic-already been checked) I am not complete without my handy dandy water bottle. I do tend to drink more during my workday between 8-3 (it helps to fend off any urges to find chocolate (former chocoholic)
But I do drink almost 200 oz a day- I do spend lots of time in the bathroom- like a trip between each of my classes(I'm a teacher)and many visits before bed. But I do not get up at night at all.

I drink mine all day too. One of my difficult times to want to munch is in the evenings, so I drink water instead. LOL, it does make for a busy night, but hey, the payoff of not "grazing" all evening is worth it.

I think Summer once said that it was best to space it out gradually through the day.

I usually drink 32 oz before noon and then the other 32 oz before 4 pm...so anything else afterwards is just extra...and i always make sure I have a little extra...but try not to drink too much before bedtime...or I'll be up and down and up and down...
