    Exclamation Water Drinking Challenge!

    I'm upping my water intake to be 2-3L for our upcoming IVF cycle (and to get healthy too of course). So who wants to join me???

    Post here & update your water intake each day, it'll be a great way to keep track & also so we can spur each other on.....

    hmmmm, i guess i'll jump in here and try to help with motivation! and of course, it will help me with my slack days when i'm too busy to drink - can't very well spur everyone if i'm being a slacker myself!


    better go find a bottle of water, only up to half a litre today...

    I'm in - 2 glasses today - tomorrows going to better !!!!!! I promise myself!!!!

    We're all going to make the 2L tomorrow girls

    When I've done it previously I've made myself drink a glass before I ate anything (cause I have a bad snacking habit) - this sometimes helped.

    Drink hot water Like a cup of coffee, but without the coffee, milk or sugar. I do this all the time. People think it's weird, but I don't think it's any weirder than drinking cold water lol.

    Does it have to be water? Or do any drinks count? (not gin, but juice? Tea?)

    I need to drink more, so maybe i should join in. What's 2 litres in pints? I have pint glasses....

    Bec - i vaguely remember reading somewhere that you should have a minimum of 2L of water per day (no idea what that is in pints!) - and if you are drinking other stuff, you should drink the equivalent in water to cancel out the extra work your body has to do to process it (like the sugars in juice)

    i figure aiming for 2L of water is a good start though

    i've even managed to talk DH into taking up the challenge - will be interesting to see how long that one lasts..
