How much water do you drink?
I heard that the rule of thumb if you want to lose weight...drink 1/2 ounce of water for every pound you weigh? That would mean that I would have to drink 105 oz. I think I would float away!!! I'm drinking about 60-70oz per day, is that enough?
Thanks in advance! ~Amy |
Hi Amy,
I think the rule of thumb is 64oz at least then 8oz extra for every 25 pounds you want to lose....I am pretty sure...Someone pls. correct me if I am wrong... Jess |
Some days it's a struggle, but I try to get in 80 ounces a day. I only allow myself one diet soda a day and the rest of my beverages must be water, so that helps.

I shoot for 100ozs by the end of the workday (5pm) and then another 20-30 before bed. But I am a big guy. :)

Hi,
Well... yesterday I drank 156 oz of water! I was going to post is drinking to much water bad? But I contacted a friend of mine and she said not at all as long as you break it up durning the day. I will tell you I lost a full lb when I woke up this am! And my skin looks WONDERFUL!!! I think the more water you can get it the better. I space my water up durning the day. I have a little bottle 16.9 oz and I try to drink a whole one before 8 am then I start to see if I can get in one every hour or so. I works for me if I keep the water cold and have a smaller bottle to guzzle from. :) Good luck, and no worries If I did not float away you wont either! |
I need to up my water at the moment (TOM and bloated) so I'm on 166oz water per day!
|
My body seems to function best at the 1/2oz for every pound. I'm drinking 144oz/day. If I drink more, I have a continual sick feeling. If I drink less, I retain.

I drink MINIMAL 1/2 my body weight or 80 oz but tend to drink a bit more - - avg. 96-100 oz a day
EXCEPT when I am traveling or the weekends unfortunately....tend to drink barely 64 oz ... trying to up the water....on the weekends. |
I drink at least 4 litres per day.
Peace red |
Thanks everyone!!!! I guess I will start chugging away! I'll see how it works. 105oz here I come...
Thanks again!!! ~Amy |
You guys are awesome!!! I am with you Amy, have to drink lots more water!!!!!!!!!!!

I kept track the other day just out of curiosity. I drink 400-500oz of water a day. And yes I do pee alot :P
I have a 64oz hospital mug I sip out of at home. Then when I go on walks I have water bottles that vary on size. The longer the walk, the larger the bottle I take. They range from 20oz to 1.5 liter. |
400 oz per DAY??? HOLY CRAP! That is a lot of water.
I drink 120-150 oz. per day. |
I drink 5 liters a day
|
64 oz a day is all I can handle. I think I'm doing OK. I have no plans to up it.
