3.3L for me today - woooooo I cracked the 3L mark after 6 days :dance:
that's a mammoth effort Sarah! well done
now the big question - is it getting easier??
3.6L - almost finished another, so 4.2L by bed time
i'm wondering whether there is a thing of drinking too much water ??
i think i drink way too much
i think you can drink too much if you over saturate your body with heaps of water all at once (like when someone who has been on ecstacy has their friends pumping water into them too quickly)
i think as long as you're peeing enough to compensate the volume of water you drink, you should be fine (and thankfully once you're used to drinking heaps, you don't need to pee every five minutes!)
Yes, you can drink too much water. Its not usually how much though, but how fast...
:
Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia....You are unlikely to suffer from water intoxication, even if you drink a lot of water, as long as you drink over time as opposed to intaking an enormous volume at one time. As a general guideline, most adults need about three quarts of fluid each day. Much of that water comes from food, so 8-12 eight ounce glasses a day is a common recommended intake. You may need more water if the weather is very warm or very dry, if you are exercising, or if you are taking certain medications.
thanks rayray - that was a much beter explanation than mine! i was just too slack to google so tried to run off memory LOL!
I'm hanging out for the not peeing so much part LOL!! Yep it's getting waaaay easier I must admit & it's actually keeping my belly full so I'm not snacking as much during the day either.
I think I'm up to about 2.5L today. :)
Big step up from the .5L or less thats been me since I stopped b/fing Milo, so over 12 months. No wonder I wasn't losing weight.
Can I join the water club, too? I've been really naughty with my intake lately and need to start drinking more. Congrats to those of you who have cracked the 3l mark! I'm in awe! :lol:
I'll be in to compare notes tomorrow!
Ok.. you all convinced me too... i am in. today i had about 1L so will try and double it for tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration
You girls are making me want to pee just reading this! lol im much better at drinking water when im home than at work. I cant just up and leave to go to the loo whenever I want.
I have cut down on my caffeine and drinking more water.
oh I need to join in here. I think I got maybe 1 glass of water to do - I'm really bad at this. Tomorrow I'm aiming at 2lts!
I am going to loss like a 1000 pounds!!!! :cryinglaugh: Office upstairs, bathroom downstairs, 20 step flight, bathroom brake for the fourth time today, watch my but shrink!!
2 lt gone!!
I wouldn't go over 3L per day ladies, I've heard it can be bad for you.
And if you work out 3L over 12 hours its about 250mL per hour ;) I think I'll join you next week, once I get my brita water bottle (I'm due for a new one).
*hugs*

Well,
NOT a good day. DD is sick and i spent all day taking her temp and forcing liquid paracetamol (which we both hate) into her. I have so far managed about 0.5l. It's 10pm, i'll be up all night peeing if i try to catch up now...
Guess i'll begin tomorrow then...
B
I think I only got to 1.5 litres yesterday :redface: not good for a pg woman... but I wasn't putting in any effort, today i will do a bit better....
Tanya
ok well it was 2 literss for me !! it was soo cold so i filled it up with warm water .... i peed alllllll day .. it got in the way of sitting on my arse watching telly .. which was a bit annoying hehe
lets see what today brings !!
so far none !
i dont know how im going to drink 3 litres today... is that how much u are meant to drink per day???
2-3L is what my FS recommended :)
It depends on a few things.
For most people its 1.5-3L. If you are active you have more, or if its for a specific reason like Sarah_H, you have more.
If you have pelvic floor issues like me, my physio won't let me go over 2.5L/day
ETA: hmm I had better slow daown..1.150L so far..
ok... we'll im going to try my hardest... will post back in here tonight with my amount hehe
Every little bit counts ;)
Only 600mls so far....
sorry guys only drank 600mls yesterday i just get sidetracked and grab for something else but today im carrying a bottle of water with me everywhere
Bec sorry to hear your little one is sick.
Back to the pints vs litres thing 1 pint = 600mls so you'd need to drink 3 1/3 pints to equal 2 litres which i think is a good quantity to be drinking.
I've only done around 800ml so far today. Doing some more housewrok when Zander goes to bed so will make up for it then ;)
i've just finished 1.5L's... havent drank that much in a week lately lol.... cant stop going to the toilet tho...i'll only drink 500 more ML's at the most today
ok, I've just finished 2.3L
So a small glass with dinner and I should be OK.
I'm up to 1.5ltr now... my water with dinner & before bed should be it for me now ;)
1.3L so far for me today :)
1.2 for me - been slacking off today!
Yep I'm at 1.3 litres so far :)
I just sent an SMS to Wato growling at him cause he used my cup!! LOL... Well I hm using a big 1l measuing cup and I leave it on the sink or the window sill and he used it for his drink of cordial!! It still had some water in it too!! Grrr at him... LOL
Tanya
i'm much the same tanya - if DH wants a drink - even if my water bottle is beside me - he's got to get another cup!
Yesterday - 2.5lt
Today - Nothing yet
Ok this is me joining in.... i saw this thread yesterday and guessed what it was all about and said to myself: "you need to do that" (BFing). I haven't drunk much today... so I'll start properly tomorrow. I also drink 2 cups of coffee per day which I think is very dehydrating but i can't kick the habit :( I'm forever telling DH to drink more water because he suffers from cracked lips etc so this will make me take a bit of my own medicine... thanks for the inspiration Sarah :)
welcome Bathsheba!!
Anytime Bath :)
Ok been doing not too bad yet, sorta lost count as i was at school and used my coffee cup so think i added up properly... at 1.5L and about to have some more. Ditto on the peeing thing.. had to run out of class twice to toilet, lucky kids were busy :)
