If I drink any more water I'm gonna float away...
 
I just had to share.. I feel like a beached whale at the moment way toooo much water! LOL Is it possible to drink too much water??? LOL Gosh I hope not that's pretty much all I drink.

Anyway just felt like venting about my tummy bursting and me floating down the river it is going to provide when it bursts!!!


:)

Have a great day!

No, I don't think it's possible to drink too much water. What your body doesn't need, will come out through urination. Just think of how beautiful (and not dry) your skin must be. Also, water helps everything along, even weight loss.

never enough
 
Just drinking your weight in water everyday will help you lose up to 5 pounds in a week. :)

Water
 
How much volume are you drinking? I do not agree that there is no limit on how much you should drink daily. You can deplete minerals and especially potassium with too much water. If you are drinking the approximately 64 ounces recommended, that should be enough. We are all different in our needs. If you are just not accustomed to drinking that much water, you will get used to it as you go. Try to sip it through the day and not drink large amounts all at once. That might help.

I drink about 120 oz a day have for over two years so I'm used to it. Some days though I just feel like bursting. So I just wanted to share. :D

it is possible
 
Not to scare anyone but it is possible to drink to much water

http://www.hhp.ufl.edu/keepingfit/A...omuchwater.htm.

This site gives an explanation
But I think this would be an extreme case. In Ohio recently there was a case of a runaway boy with lots of emotional problems. He actually drank so much water he had convulsions. Like I said this is not to scare anyone at all. Just wanted to let you know that a medical condition exists for over hydrating( if thats the right term). But I am sure what we all drink here is right for our bodies. Bodies are good about that kind of thing, letting you know when you've had enough. With the exception of those evil carbs :devil: Ellen :)

P.S The Doc. with a column in my paper says if your pee is clear you are drinking plenty :D

Geel, you are right, you can drink too much water. We've had this discussion on other boards...

I'm different from most, I find that drinking my body weight in water actually slows down my weight loss...so I stick to one or two glasses a day.
