Well I am game for this (since I have such a hard time drinking water), let's go for 56oz. per day.

I think I can do at least 88 oz a day. Most days this past month I have gotton 96 but I also have some days with only 80.

Sign me up for 88 oz.

I blew it last month so I'm trying again :) 64 oz/day

pammmely ~ added you! 

Everyone ~ Don't fret if you miss a day or 2, sometimes I have a hard time drinking that much.  Just not thirsty.  Other times, no problem.    Don't try to make up the next day, just start each day fresh :)  The point is to routinely drink water as part of a healthy & happy lifestyle (more than hit that # for the month :)

Have to be careful with drinking too much water...a woman took a challenge and was drinking water and drank so much it killed her...not lie...was on the news...so talk to your doctor and make sure he or she says it is okay to drink so much. Remember we are made of water too...that is why the Moon swings our moods...

Cairalbe,

Yes, it is true that you can drink too much water, but you really are only in danger if you try to drink it all at once.  In the case you are refering to (radio stunt in Sacramento?) the woman drank almost three gallons of water in one sitting and was not allowed to go to the bathroom.  As long as you spread your water drinking throughout the day and you are eating, you should be fine.

 

oh my yes, wasn't that horrible!!! 

It is possible to drink too much, and some people do have medical limitations, so if we have any real questions or doubt about how much to drink, we should check with our healthcare providers!

the challenge is to find an appropriate amount that we should be routinely drinking for health reasons ~ and we should be spreading it out over the day :)  The article from the Mayo Clinic has excellent information about the health benefits of drinking water!

Cheers everyone! Drink up :)

not too late to join us!
