      Re: semi annual DRINK UP WATER CHALLENGE

      YIPEE !!!! Something I can join and do !!(since I'm off excercise still ) Now let's see, I want to loose approx 60 more pounds = 84 ounces, or..... 1/2 my body weight (232) = 115 ounces. Since I use refillable bottles of 40 ounce size, how about I commit to 120 ounces.


      Thanks for putting this together. I needed something to hold me accountable to checking in on this board. Although I've been watching what I eat, without the excercise, my weight loss has slowed down to a snails pace. (actually I think the snail is faster)

            Thanks Mitzi!

            That makes more sense now...

            Learning to read properly...high on my list of "to do things"

            Well, I drank 84 oz of water today, so I guess I'm in training for the big challenge...hehehe.

            Thanks again for clarifying this for me!

              it's very good to wake up to some posts in this thread! welcome to the vertern challengers and to our newest members!

              i've added Sandra94, mitzimarie, Sherri and Kntrylady and added ouncex for ms.

              yes, we will use this thread to post our water consumption daily and chat about any water issues, good bad or indifferent.

              sandra, as for the problem of too much water:
              your 120 oz. will be fine. there are alot of folks that drink that and more.
              there is a condition known as water intoxication but i don't think we need to worry about it so much. http://www.hhp.ufl.edu/faculty/pbird...omuchwater.htm

                                I'm in with 3 liters, uhm, around 100 ounces a day (minimum would be 80, but I'm one of those who seem to need lots of water to work).
