I drink at least 24 8oz glasses of water per day. There aren't enough check boxes on the page for me... ;-) I've always been a thirsty girl, and thank goodness I love water - and that I have a bladder to match.
I do add Crystal Light maybe once a day, but not since I've been using the flavor infusers. Although they make me a little jittery, I'm giving them a fair chance......
Wow! That is so much water! I am definitely going to step up my water intake! I will drink more when I get home from work since I have so many meetings during the day.
Thanks!.

Ilovemeat is a cute name..
I have no idea how much I drink. I gave up trying to keep track. I always have 16 oz with me and drink it whenever I glance at it.
Typical food diary? Like....
Caramel Nut Bar.
French Vanilla Shake.
Beef Stew.
Banana Pudding.
L& G: Chicken with cayenne pepper and Spinach.
Hot Cocoa.
2-3 hrs apart.
I find myself wanting one of the hot drinks after the L&G because I am so far away from hungry I can't handle a shake or pudding...
I try to drink 5L a day and I notice weight loss with that. If I don't have that much it seems I don't lose that much...
I drink at least 100oz per day, and often more than that. I crave water and for the most part it is all I drink any more.
Typical day:.
Breakfast - Medifast Hot Cocoa w/ coffee.
Morn Snack - Oatmeal or a Shake.
Lunch - Cappuccino or Sammich made from COT soup & light cheese - sometimes with a little sliced turkey.
Afternoon Snack - Banana Bread or Bar.
Dinner - Chicken & Salad or veggies. Sometimes Tri Tip & Veggies. Friday night Crab & Caesar salad.
Night Time snack - Hot Cocoa, Shake, or Hot Cocoa brownie...
I have a system for the water...5 water bottles (16.9 oz) that have numbers 1-5 on the lid..
I HAVE to drink 1-3 before I leave work at 3pm then the other two at home..
When travelling...I am not so good at it because I have an aversion to public (and airplane) bathrooms. I make up for it when I reach my destination..
It's alot but let me tell you...the water is HUGE. You have to drink enough to get your body to release fat..
My Day:.
8am oatmeal or eggs.
11am cocoa.
1pm chili.
4pm shake or bar.
6pm L & G.
9pm pudding..
I probably average 5 liters/day. I make myself drink 2 liters before lunch (then I can have a diet coke with my lunch). Then I drink one in the afternoon. One at the gym (that one I add crystal lite to) and one in the evening. I also have coffee and tea during the day... so as you can imagine, I get a lot of exercise on walking to the bathroom.
My body is used to this amount, and if I have less (which sometimes happens on the weekends), I don't feel very good. Soooo, drink up!.

I found a water calculator of sorts. You plug in your weight (it only goes up to 299, but close enough for me) and take a short quiz and it tells you how much water you should be drinking. Mine came out to 149.9 0z. I currently am drinking eight of the 16.9 oz bottles which is 135 oz. I hope this helps, here is the link. http://nutrition.about.com/library/b...calculator.htm..
I drink tons of water....I usually drink at least 18-8 oz. glasses a day...sometimes more. I have always been a heavy water drinker, so I don't think it's the norm. I usually drink 1 L of water before coming to work....2 or 3 while at work...and 1 or 2 when I get home.
My usual food intake when on MF:.
Breakfast: Oatmeal.
Mid-Morning: Orange or Strawberry 70 Shake.
Lunch: Frozen chocolate pudding, small garden salad, light dressing.
Mid-Afternoon: Diabetic Chocolate Shake made into a cookie.
Dinner: I'm a vegetarian, so it is a little different. I often have Boca veggie burger or some cottage cheese or some eggbeaters, etc...I usually had a low fat cheese stick and 1/2 cup of SF gelatin..
Evening: Hot drink or Cold Drink or RTD shake.
I don't usually use the Crystal Light and what not...since I like pure, natural water. Just remember if you use it...that even though they say it has zero carbs....it just means it has less than one. I find that if I push the water...I end up not wanting the diet coke and crystal light and what not..

101.4 oz. each day. I have just upped my water intake to 6 (16.9 oz.) bottles per day. I also number the caps of the bottles so I can keep track. I never thought I would EVER be able to drink so much water. But I REALLY like it! Wow!.
Susan..
I'm good at getting in the water but I just bought the momentum green tea and that helps two cups go down easier...
Hi Robin,.
I drink 16-8 oz glasses of plain water each day. Then, I drink Crystal Light or diet coke if I want. When I'm traveling, which isn't very often, I make sure I get in 8-8oz glasses of water.
What I eat does vary quite a bit depending on what I'm in the mood for, but here is a good example:.
As soon as I wake up: Cup of coffee with 1 Tbsp half & half and a 1/2 packet of splenda.
Breakfast (about 2 hours after I wake up): Cappuccino made with brewed coffee.
Mid-morning (10:00 am): Oatmeal with spray butter and splenda.
Lunch (12:00 pm): Soup and a coke zero.
Afternoon (3:00 pm): pudding or a shake.
Dinner (5:00 or 6:00 pm): Lean & green...usually grilled chicken and lettuce or green beans.
Evening (7:00 pm): Bar...usually chocolate mint..
Number the caps! Genius. Thanks..
I forgot to mention my morning green tea. One cup first thing. Smells so good. It's a nice wake up...
OOOO..this is fun! LOL.
I get between 64-100 oz water a day (closer to the 100 most days).
Typical Day of Meals:.
Breakfast - Bar.
Mid-Morning - Shake.
Lunch - L&G - usually Chicken Breast/salad.
Afternoon - Oatmeal "muffin" or Soup "bread".
Dinner - Shake.
Evening - Pudding or Hot Cocoa.
Thats pretty standard almost everyday!..
Wow, y'all amaze me!.
I am LUCKY if I can get down the 2 qts. of water required on MyPlan... I just can't drink much...
Ok, I'm going to try this week.....
On long road trips, I DO try to drink water regularly.... it forces me to stop every couple hours and walk around a little at the rest areas...
Thanks so much for sharing! I am going to start bringing in multiple bottles of water to work and label them! It makes it fun and I stay on point! I am starting to like water more and more..I used to just drink diet lemonade from Chick-fil-A! It is so good!! I am going to stick to just water until I get under the 180s! Have a great day!..
