How much do you drink every day? Do you hit your target or do you totally miss the mark?

I read you're supposed to take how much you weigh (in pounds) and divide it by two, and that's how many ounces you're supposed to drink in a day.

I am okay on my water intake. I've been much better since I quit drinking pop. I need to be better, but I'd say I get about 75% of what I should. What about you ladies?

Oh I can go an entire day without so much as a sip of water. I love tea and milk and if we eat out its dr pepper. Recently I have been using it as a calming technique, which I think is giving me acid reflux! ick!

I am making it a goal to drink more water! I am on bottle 2 right now... im weird though.. I like room temp bottled water! The cold water is harder for me to drink for some odd reason!

I drink water by the gallons but that's because I walk a lot-work out-use my wii fit and drink a lot of water. I hit it pretty much 95% of the time either just enough or above. I have given up pop and I still try to drink milk and juice too.

I drink a ton of water now. We recently bought a water pitcher for the fridge so I don't feel guilty about drinking a lot of water. When we were buying bottled water I never drank more than 2 bottles because I wanted to make the case last as long as possible. Now I'm drinking probably 80 ounces throughout the day and night.

I've been making an effort to make sure I'm getting plenty of water. I think it's part of the reason why I feel so good right now (aside from the normal being sore and uncomfortable stuff.)

I don't drink NEAR enough water. I hate buying bottled water, but I need to get one of those water pitcher purifier things for my fridge. My water is cloudy. Sad I hate drinking it. So I know I would if I had a purifier.

I usually reach my goal for drinking water, it's basically all I drink though. I have a small glass of OJ in the morning and the rest of the day the only thing I drink is water.

Normally I love the water from walmart with a lemon in it! During the summer I get so thirsty and carry one around. I can't seem to find a water that doesn't make me vomit right now though. I can only drink Dr. Pepper. I am so tired of soda.

I don't drink 8 glasses a day (because I would spend the whole day in the bathroom) but I drink a lot. It's mainly what I drink. I see everything else a treat. I crave water all the time so its pretty easy for me.

I don't know exactly how much my intake is and it varies day to day. Water is basically all I drink with the exception of juice or milk, so I know that I'm definitely getting enough. Plus, I always keep a glass or a bottle of it nearby and constantly refill it.

I would say that most days I hit my mark. It's all I drink. But there are definitely weeks when I need some sugar and drink more juice. But I have a nalgene bottle that is always full and goes everywhere with me. I learned too much in college about what dehydration can do to your body and how long it takes for you to realize you're dehydrated. I try to live by the lessons I was taught Smile
