Is this acceptable for "water"?

Re: Is this acceptable for "water"?

Sure. So you have 80 lbs to lose, right? And you have to drink 64 oz of water as a base, plus 1 glass (or 8 oz) for every extra 25 lbs.

Ok, so you have to see how many extra 25 lbs you have, and you do this by dividing 80 to 25, so
This means that you have to drink 3.2 glasses of water above the minimum 64 oz. As a glass is considered to have 8 oz, this means
So in total you have
which is approximately 90 oz.

Thank you. (That's a lot of water!!)

Re: Is this acceptable for "water"?

Yup, me too....I HATED drinking water! Now, I can't get enough....I'm always carrying around one of my gianormous coffee mugs at work filled to the very top with water and continuously filling it up through the day.

I try to drink one an hour at work...sometime one every hour and a half....after work I carry around a really big water bottle and continue this till evening. Doing it this way has now become 2nd nature to me and helps me to drink as much water as I do...I guess finding a routine helped. I feel much better and I can see a difference in how my skin looks and feels.

Drinking a lot of water each day...definitely pays off!
