Rep Power: 0 | | Hi do you mind if I join in?
I've drunk just over 2 litres today. I am not sure what that equates to in ounces though. In the States do you make 20 ounces a pint? Just checking as I am sure there is some measurement we don't agree on?
Anyway, as a general rule I think we are advised here to drink about 3 litres a day. I tried upping my water intake a few months back, and thought it was 5 litres! I got very headachy and didn't feel too well, till I mentioned it to my Mum who pointed out I was only supposed to aim for 3!
Silly me - good old Mum eh?
:-)
Anyway, I notice you are all aiming for between 60-90 ounces, so if anyone has any idea how this converts to pints of litres - I am not good with conversion - that would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Pinkie |

Pinkie  | Hey Pinkie- I'm not great at conversion either, but I hope this guide will help you. Happy drinking
1.0 Liter = 33.81406 US oz (I rounded it off to 33.8)
2.0 Liter = 67.6 oz
2.5 Liter = 84.5 oz
3.0 Liter = 101.4 oz |

Rep Power: 0 | | | Oh christ Marie - that means I've got to drink about 4 litres a day if you for the 1/2 oz per lb in weight. Thank you for putting that conversion up though!
Mind you I think there are some discrepancies between a UK lb and a US lb, oz's etc.
I reckon if I head for 2-3 litres in English money, that must be good.
Didn't do well yesterday, probably only 1/2 litre. But am back in force today.

Rep Power: 11 | | | Hey Pinkie- I think you're right...if you aim for 2 to 3 liters a day, you'll be doing good.
Lost track of official count, but I know it was at least 64oz |

Rep Power: 0 | | | OK - well yesterday (Saturday) I drank about 3 pints - which over here equates to 60 fluid ounces.
I have found that it helps me if I fill up an old water bottle - say 2 litre, and make a point of drinking all of it. Or a 1 1/2 bottle and drink it twice over.
Unfortunately I left my water bottles at work. So am on the pint glasses instead!
;-)
Good luck everyone.

Rep Power: 0 | | | Hi Marie.
Keep going at it. Do you know I definitely feel better on the days where I drink a decent amount.
I've had 1 1/2 litres today at work, and will drink another pint (20 ounces) tonight before I go to bed.
I think that's about 80 ounces in all.
I am very well acquainted with the Ladies room these days!
;-)

Rep Power: 17 | | | There's so much on this site that's so helpful, I just joined and I started the March challenge and now I need to start this. I have a hard time with drinking enough water. Truth is I used to HATE water with a passion. Drinking it made me feel nauseated... don't ask me why... I know it's weird. But I taught myself to drink it! WOO! The only problem is now drinking enough. I don't feel thirsty too often and it's hard to drink when you're not thirsty. I tend to drink most of my water at work (when I'm bored, lol). At home I don't drink it too often.
Today at work I drank 40 oz... still lots of room for improvement. |
