LOCKED TOPIC

How much water should I drink every day?

i have heard that you need to drink 8 glasses or water a day and sometimes i hear half of your body weight so which is it?

and are there any other drinks that can count as water besides water. what about crystal lite, any kind????

There are hundreds of threads about this, look it up.

why are u being mean to me??? i just heard 2 different things

If you go to google.com you can search for a water calculator thing. It'll tell you based on your heigh and weight how much water you should drink.

And like seraph said, there are hundreds on threads about this on the board. Just browse a bit before you ask a question.

i dont know what it is but yall are being very hostile and I will stop asking questions cause i thought that was what this is for if not what is it for.

hahahaha I was nowhere near hostile in that post. I told you how to find the calculator. I just searched... took me like 2 seconds to find.
edit: i posted the wrong one.

water calculator

but what do u mean you posted the wrong one.

never mind i see now

I had posted the wrong calculator link. I fixed it. But see what I mean? That wasn't hard. All I did was go to www.google.com and type in "how much water to drink" and that was the third link. You get upset with people here because of how they respond to you but some of your questions aren't hard to answer if you just looked for a minute.

i am sorry but I thought yall were here to answer questions and plus I want to know people's opinion

We are here to answer questions as best as we can.  We are here to offer support and help as best we can.

However, the same questions are posted many times.  The point is that if people take the time to search a few pages or so of posts to find their answer, we wouldn't have to read through 8 threads about how many calories to eat, 10 threads about the impact of exercise on calorie consumption and 5 threads on water.

I think the saying goes, give a man a fish and he eats for the day.  Teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.

Don't take the posts as being rude towards you.  I'm sure that is not the intent and no one here knows you.  It is just trying to remedy a situation.

How old are you?
You sound like a child to me, and I really don't take you serious. I'm not hostile, I'm just being honest.

Woah. Normally I like to stay out of these things, but honestly, seraph, she is 37. --it looks like lilbittt needs some attention and is trying to connect, not unlike lots of other people on this site. Please give her a break.

There is no reason anyone needs to respond at all if the whole community thinks a question is annoying. Someone who is patient and interested can answer.

:o 37 Then why is she acting like a 12 year old...
Screams attention seeking to me.
I just don't like the way she comes across, and I can't hide it.

well seraph you dont have to hide and thanks for telling me I act like a 12 year old I am just trying to make sure i am doing this calorie counting right and drinking the right amt of water and If you cant understand that then I am sorry and please forgive me for repeating myself. I think anyone who gets mad cause I ask questions over and over again or childish. yes that is a good thing to put in this forum is make fun of someone.

library girl thank you for taking up for me I added you to my friend list.

don't pay them any attention lilbitt......just because some people who obviously think they are better than others have an attitude problem shouldn't make you not want to ask question.  There are other people like myself that are more than willing to answer or comment on any question and I am sure that the ones with the attitudes at one time or another have ruined their perfect record and asked the same question more than once be it here or somewhere else......some of you really are just plain RUDE!!!

thanks shana i will add you to my friends list. I am thinking of not posting anything anymore if people are going to be rude and make fun of me.

Poor you, that will give you the attention you need.

Oh and Shanna.. better than others? Maybe you just feel less than us.
Well If you're god, why don't you answer the same questions over and over and over again.
Don't feed me this bullsh*t.

seraph you have really hurt my feelings.

That's because you allow yourself to get hurt, you make that decision, not me.

Seraph,

I find you interesting.

lilbittt,

Maybe from now on if you have to ask a question, and you have searched through the threads already, you can just ask your friends through the journals, or you can use the yahoo IM or AOL Im or something like that. It's not that the people here don't want to help you, it's just that you ask a lot of questions more than once, and sometimes others find that annoying, or interpret that as someone seeking attention. I don't think you are looking for attention, you come across as someone who struggles with learning, and I hope you don't take that the wrong way. You are sweet.
