Yes, I am drinking a gallon of water a day. I have put on some weight and need to get it off. Driking a gallon not only fills me up but also clears out my skin. I have joined a new gym and am on the road to getting fit. (again!! :rolleyes: )

Congrats Soft......You have nice skin anyhow. :)
I try to drink as much as I can in a day, but nothing close to a gallon. My skin would thank me though. I also heard it is good for controlling dandruff. Is that true?

I can drink that much, but I can't be close to water all day...but I am going to do that now that I am still home waiting to go back to work near ground zero...
I just drank a quart at once, to kick it off right, and just to see if I could do it....dang, it's sloshing around... hope I don't wet the bed!

the gallon before I get off from work so most of the running is done by 4-4:30.

I started drinking alot more water, close to a gallon a day. And it makes such a big difference in how you feel, and a big difference in your skin, your hair, everything!
I think your body kind of gets used to the water after a while, and you don't go quite as often, but when you do go, you are there doing that fifteen minute Austin Powers pee...LOL
I don't have to go at night so much, but when I get up in the morning, look out! LOL

LOL :D actually like grazing small meals a day, drinking a lot of water will make you lose water weight becuase your body retains water only if you don't supply it regularly. if you give it to it often then the body won't hold it because it knows/believes it's gonna get more. but it's easier to get dehydrated if you don't maintain it because the body has dumped it's reserves.
two quarts is plenty ('bout half a gallon) but the more the merrier. when was in bootcamp, water was like beer. it was funny how it made me feel good.
CD, if you stop around two hours befroe bed, you'll've pissed it all out by the time you go to bed.

is good, I lost a lot of weight from water, mostly we retain water anyway.
You will see great improvements drinking water in your face and hair.

I'm a pretty serious water drinker (bought in a Brita for the office), I probably drink at least 1 - gallons of water a day.

All you have to do is spread it out over the whole day, and think in 16oz increments. First, as soon as you wake up down a glass. You should be able to gulp at least 8 0z without stopping, right? then shower and hit it again, you are done and only 7 more times to go. Then as soon as you get to work, then halfway to Lunch, at Lunch, and in the mid afternoon. Already, you only have two more 16oz servings left! Hit the water as soon as you get home, and you have dinnertime and the rest of the evening to drink the last 16 ozs. I think what I tried to do wrong the first time was I tried to drink a gallon at work. There was no haps on that. I bought those cases of sport bottles. It's cheap when you find a sale, and even if not, the cost is relative...this is one of the best things you can do for yourself. As long as I can make it cold, I prefer water over sodas. Makes your pee crystal clear! ( that is, if you don't also drink coffee.)

I had to stop drinking so much last week (i had my wisdom teet extracted, YUCK!!), but i'm back on it now!! and i've started back walking...it's amazing how your body craves water and utilizes it in such a way that you feel and look better...keep it up!!! i'll send encouraging pm's if you do the same for me...holla!!!
