Everyone could use a little more water in their lives.

I have started a small community challenge on MYFITNESSPAL specifically for hydration.

Track water intake there, chat here and there if you like

Check weight and fat changes at start and end of the month!

Easy!

Interested? Add me on MFP,

Putting in the work

Staying hydrated this weekend, How's everyone else doing?

I just added @greentealael and am hoping to join the challenge even though I'm late to the party! Hoping to help myself get back to tracking because I've been less disciplined lately both in terms of food and hydration. Thanks for setting this up, I've never done a MFP challenge before!

Although I have yet to accomplish our daily goal, I am more focused on trying. Perhaps today is my day!

Welcome to the party!!!@AEdoesRnY ???

@ElectricBoogaloo just keep trying and you will get there!!!

Reminder:

Rules:
45 oz pure Water minimum daily

90 oz total fluids minimum daily

128 oz maximum fluids daily


Consult your physician before joining

Research ALL possible complications prior to joining

Join at your own pace, discontinue at first sign of discomfort

Drink at a reasonable rate, enjoy the many benefits of proper hydration, add enhancers/electrolytes as needed

Green and herbal teas with no plant or animal milks can count towards pure water total

Tea is wonderful on cold days too, but be sure to try regular water in addition

coffee is very satisfying, do try to be careful not to replace too much water with it

Record starting/ending weight and *body fat (optional)

Enjoy the benefits!!!! Keep us posted

Dumb question that was maybe already asked - is there a way to "join" the community forum or do we just bookmark it to see it on MFP?

Thanks!

You only need to book mark it to find it easier. Hope that helps!

You're in!

Struggling quite a bit over here. Even 64 oz of plain water has been a reach for me. It's mostly a mental struggle. Pre surgery, I used to take in about 98 oz a day. I like to chug water through. This sip sip sip thing annoys me. I always wind up getting distracted and not drinking for a couple hours here and there which really limits the amount of water I can take in. Tomorrow is going to be a long day though, so I'm going to start drinking early in the morning and set reminders on my phone! The more hours I am up, the more hours i have to drink lol

How far out from surgery are you?

I can't speak for everyone but by 6 months post op I could "chug" with the best of them.

Infused waters, water with enhancers for flavor and clearer teas count towards pure water count in this challenge also.

Hydration is the goal.

I would rather have everyone well hydrated by sustainable methods rather than struggle to drink plain water all day. Just add some plain water in too if you can handle it.
