Yesterday I was probably a lil short of my 80, but prob still got about half a gallon. Today just finished my first 20oz, about to refill for #2.
 
I'm in- was gonna try to work my way up to 64 oz, but you've convinced me to just do it!!


[Gulp!]
:thewave:
 
I'm so glad I ran across this thread...I could really use the motivation. I have a 32-oz bottle that I carry with me to work EVERYDAY for water consumption ONLY. So after 3 rounds with it, I will have my daily fill of water.
So far today I've had one 32oz serving, only two more to go!!!
I plan on getting back on track with this water consumption b/c it's going to be a MAJOR factor in my weightloss-hairgrowth regimen.

Awww you can do it @Mystic.
Just remember to take it one day at a time. You can start of by making it a routine to have 1 glass of water in the morning, upon waking up. Another one 30-minutes before you eat; finally, another before going to sleep at night. It's these little steps that make a BIG difference.

ETA: Another Helpful Tip
Another helpful tip I've learned is to sip water from a straw rather than taking big gulps. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but it DOES! You end up drinking water much faster thus speeding up the process of getting your 8-glasses a day.
Please see the following article for reference: (see tip #3)

HTH!

Awww, thanks D.Lisha for the encouragement. I drank a 16oz bottle already so I am on my way. I will try to remember your tip - it sounds so doable:drunk:.

Are you on the list already? If not, I'll add you too. Welcome! Sounds like you're off to a good start. :yep:

Yes ma'am I'm on the list. Sadly I haven't been updating as much as I should since my name has been on it, but all of that is about to change! :yep:
Yesterday was good, I completed all 96oz. So far today I'm working on my 1st 36oz serving (almost done with it).
Also, Njoy, I remember reading something about you ordering your water? May I ask what kind do you order and what benefits have you seen/gained from it -vs- regular tap water?

Are you sure you were on the list? I just added you. Let me make sure you're not on there twice now. Otherwise, that means you'll have to drink twice your goal. :giggle:

I order spring water from Crystal Springs. They deliver tanks of spring water for my hot/cold dispenser. My family always drink more water from the tank. Even if I buy gallons of spring water from the store, the tank seems to prompt more drinking. My whole family drinks water only now. Uh, but that didn't happen overnight. I just limited their options. :look:

I'm in Georgia. The tap water here tastes funny. I can't even drink it filtered. And, once you start drinking spring water, you can easily taste the difference. I can't even drink water at a restaurant unless it's bottled. It's just a taste preference for me. I don't know if there are any other benefits.
 
:peek: I've been slacking and therefore avoiding this thread. I'm back to a half gallon starting now.
 
4 - 20oz cups...done. I'll go refill a 5th just to sip on and will probably have more water at home too.
 
it's snowing and freezing here now so it's hard to get my water quota in. I'm still on my firs 16oz. I will do my best to to reach my regular 64oz though.

Opps, I think I look at the list AFTER you added my name, and assumed it was there the whole time...lol, that's my "blonde" moment for today :lachen:
And thanks for that info! I may look into ordering some spring water for myself. I did a quick research on the health benefits of Spring Water-Vs-Tap and to my surprise there's a significant advantage to consuming spring water.
