    Anyone else up for the "Gallon Challenge"???

    I have challenged myself to drink a gallon of water (128 ozs) every day here at work. It's easy - one 16oz glass everyhour that I work! And then in the evening, drink 32-64 additional ozs.

    I really need help on the weekends. If I publicly challenge myself and others, it will help me "float" thru the weekend.

    I am going to check in every day. Maybe not Sat & SUn...hard to get on line at home!

        I'm in. I have a 32 oz. water bottle and I aim to drink 2 before lunch and 2 after lunch at work. Any water I have with my meals or after work are just a bonus.

        I have 32 oz. down so far today.

        I struggle on the weekends too.

          As a minimum, you are supposed to drink 64 oz, plus 8 oz for every 25 pounds you have to lose. So not everybody HAS to drink that much, but extra water can't hurt! You should also factor in how active you are. If you are doing a lot of intensive exercise, you will need more water also.
