Re: semi annual DRINK UP WATER CHALLENGE

Hey,

a little late but I'm in. I'm pretty sure I drink over the required amount per day but I normally just assume - it will be useful to measure.

I'm in for 64oz, which I'll round up to 2 litres

alexa dear, you aren't late at all! we have some practicing going on but the official start of the challenge is monday! you made it in here just fine.

Re: semi annual DRINK UP WATER CHALLENGE

Sign me up.. 64oz base + 32oz (want to loose 100pounds) = 96 oz. Let's double it to 192oz make it a real challenge! ;-)

My plan/tools..
1. habanero sauce(tabasco brand)
2. my last diet pepsi(from 3 weeks ago) 32 oz plastic cup

Will dress up real nice by breakfast eggs with habanero.. that will certainly cover my base 64oz in the morning ;-) Keep refilling up the cup with water at work... (instead of diet pepsi as pre-Atkins)

so you are making those taste buds hot and drinking water to cool them down? lol
yeppers, you can get the last diet pepsi in and use that cup! works perfect!

thanks for making your first post here in this challenge, crosado! welcome to the board!

Re: semi annual DRINK UP WATER CHALLENGE

Hi Jimmie. I think it's great to see so many people joining the challenge. I don't want to step on any toes, but I've seen some enormous quantities of water pledged . I'm sure everyone will do what's best for their health, but I really hope some folks will do a search for "Hyponatremia" or "how much water is too much." There is a very real possibilty of electrolyte imbalances when massive amounts of water are consumed, and I'd hate for anyone to run into health problems by doing something that sounds so healthy! Potassium, magnesium and even sodium and chloride can all be depleted from your system quickly and a normal multivitamin may not be enough to keep your levels where they should be. I believe the risks are even greater for anyone taking Lasix or other diuretics or some antidepressants. Also, you have to factor in any other liquids (coffee, tea, soft drinks) you may have in addition to the water. It might not count toward the challenge, but it counts as fluid moving through your system.

Please, everyone, be careful! Also, Jimmie, I'd like to ammend my pledge from 80 oz to a more reasonable (for me) 64 oz since I drink a lot of coffee each day, too. I don't mean to be alarmist, but we had a beloved kitty die from complications of this earlier this year

Re: semi annual DRINK UP WATER CHALLENGE

thanks tracey for your concern. you certainly are not stepping on any toes. you are showing concern for everyones health and welfare.
if i remember right (and i'd have to look) there are thread links in the first post about too much water. if it's not there, i am pretty sure a link exists somewhere in this thread. i just know i got one the other day.
we only have 2 challengers that have pledged over 128 ounces. Dell pledged 162 oz. and crosado pledged 192 oz. (1 1/2 gallons)
the word of caution was appreciated.

editing and adding:
i knew it was in here somewhere.... #21

Re: semi annual DRINK UP WATER CHALLENGE

I'm in. My goal is 1 gallon a day. I have been doing pretty well with it, but I find I either make the gallon or I am way low.
