Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / July 2004Water Challenge
I have never done a 'challenge' here before. Most of the time it's because it's requires weighing and I won't weigh myself until the end of August. Anyway .. I'm wondering if anyone is interested in doing a water challenge. I REALLY need to drink more water. Today I have had 1 8 oz glass :( Yesterday, no water at all. Is there any interest?

I usually drink 4 glasses of water just while I'm reading my newsgroups!  SignatureWalking on . . . Laurie in Maine 207/110 60 inches of attitude! Start: 2/02 Maintained since 2/03 well, you lose. 1 gallon a day seems like nothing for me. I drink an average of 5 gallons a day. >well, you lose. 1 gallon a day seems like nothing for me.

One ought to drink 1.5 litres of water per day, more when exercising or if it's very hot, but more than about 3 litres a day (I think a litre is 2 American pints; it's 1.75 Imperial ones) can overload your kidneys and lead to water poisoning, or water intoxication as it is also called. http://www.erowid.org/culture/health/health_water_poisoning.shtml SignatureAnnabel Smyth mailto:annabel@amsmyth.demon.co.uk http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 18 July 2004 >>well, you lose. 1 gallon a day seems like nothing for me.

On average I drink around 2 to 3 gallons of water daily. That does not include fluids comming from my 3 servings of milk daily and fruits, veggies and the like. I sweat alot though. I walk/run everyday along with some sort of strength training every 3rd day. I also work in a kitchen with hot ovens running all day too. So I am sweating tons of this out.I too find it amazing for a her to polish off 5 gals of water daily. >>well, you lose. 1 gallon a day seems like nothing for me. I drink an average of >>5 gallons a day. I do not believe it, she is probably not measuring it properly. > tIf this is true, then you are at serious risk of water poisoning.

I'm in... got the house to myself for 2 weeks and 2 1/2 cases of bottled water (24 bottles/case) along with it. ~Liz 140(?)/132.5/125 (BF%)35.7/26.3/20(?) > I have never done a 'challenge' here before.

Water intoxication involves the loss of electrolytes. This is most likely to occur during long-distance walking or activities that involve sweating. Even so, 5 gallons of water per day is ok if you consume enough sodium and potassium, which are most likely to be lost. And 5 gallons a day is not difficult at all. I just consumed half a gallon while reading all your replies. In article <20040727170917.22500.00000500@mb-m11.aol.com>, > Anyway .. I'm wondering if anyone is interested in doing > a water challenge. I'm in. I had just started tracking water in Fitday--I set a goal of 120 ounces. I have a 24 ounce bottle on my desk that I fill four times during the day, and I try to drink a couple more glasses at home in the evening. I find that I feel much better when I drink more water--less sluggish in *all* ways. And I get extra exercise from jumping up and running to the potty.

I'm in as well (am I late?) because I have noticed I am taking in less than I was when I was really focused on my WOE. Susan 280/189/140 > I have never done a 'challenge' here before.

Water is non-caloric, so good advice for dieting, and some people mistake thirst for hunger. Staying properly hydrated is a good thing. But there's nothing magical about drinking plain water. There is no "pure water" valve out the side of your stomach. Once you swallow it, it's mixed with digestive juices and anything else you ate, and extracted out about last in the digestive process. The claim that plain water is better because it "doesn't have to be processed" is utter nonsense.
