Amy, I definitely need a kick!! I'm in with you. My goal is also 100oz...I also do really well for a while and then slack a bit. I usually still get close to my 8 glasses though. I actually started this goal in my journal earlier this week.

I have a 33.8oz Dasani water bottle and I try to get 3 of those down a day...
I just finished off the 1st one. I thought it would be easier to do one before lunch, one after lunch, and one in the evening. Looking at it that way, 100oz is not so overwhelming to me.

Good luck!!!


Goal: 100oz
Actual: 33oz

I'm in! I need a kick too. I haven't been getting in as much as I would like.

I was getting in about 3 liters a day.......but lately I've been slackin and barely getting in 2.

So.....at least 100 oz.

So post our intake daily? or more often?

Default water is my problem

Wow! I need to get in on this. Water is my problem - I hate it, hate the taste of it. I'm going to put 3 half-liter bottles of bottled water in my car, on the passenger side. Every time I look there, I'll try to have a drink. That's where I'll start. This works really well for me with my Fish Oil habit. I put a bottle of fish oil capsules inside the refrigerator, in a shelf on the door so that when I open the refrigerator door, I see the capsules and I pop one. This is how I make sure I get one or two a day since I open that door daily!
I also drive several times a day so I'm going to use that drive time to swig water. Now, if I just had a pottie in the car....

Math.......I used to hate water too.......but I have found that the more I drink, the easier it gets.

When I first started LCing, I thought I was being smart putting lemon and splenda in it....... Um.......then I read the book. lol

hi everyone-

water is my big problem too, so this is exactly what i need! my goal is 100 oz...and i use a nalgene to keep track.

i'm usually really thirsty when i wake up, so after i weight myself in the morning i try to drink a glass..then if its open and by my desk, i tend to do okay.

i like the tip about the car door - i might use that!

Ok you guys...I got down 169 ounces!!! I drank 5 -33.8 ounce bottles. I know I will not be able to get this many down on a regular basis but today was one of the rare days that I was able to go straight home from work so I didnt have to worry about being out and running to the restroom every 15 minutes. On days like today I will try and do the high numbers, otherwise I'll stick close to the 100 oz.


Good luck to everyone on all your goals!
