How much water are you drinking every day?
I'm up to 60 oz/day...I'm sure it should be more but I've gotta work up to that. I'd much rather have a lot of green/black tea or anything else really!! I don't want to use the crystal light packets b/c of the artificial sweeteners, and I'm limiting my caffeine intake. I do occasionally throw a lime or lemon slice in there, but it only does so much!

Re: How much water are you drinking every day?
For some reason, I just cannot manage to drink enough water - or fluid, for that matter. I think it's contributing to my dizziness and headaches. And of course, it's not good for the baby. I put my husband to the task of making sure that I drink at least 3 20 oz bottles a day, but since he's almost always at work, I'm left to fend for myself most of the day. I wish I could get better at this. It's sad when something's so easy to do and yet so hard.

At least 2 liters.
So many women have to go to the hospital for dehydration. I'm trying to avoid being one of those women.
Normally I drink alot but this week I have felt really bad and been throwing up quite a bit. Water is starting to make me feel sloshy if that makes sense to anyone.
A gallon!? How are you not peeing every 3 minutes?! I have been drinking a little over 48 oz a day and I seriously feel like I spend half of my day in the ladies room.

Enough to drown a fish.
I've had 60oz so far today. It's noon. I'll probably have another 60 before heading home.

Exactly.
I try to drink water all the time, but I don't think I get enough.
Any suggestions on how to keep track of the water I drink and get more in?

after my dehydration-induced dizziness and fatigue episode the other day, I am trying to have a gallon a day (128 oz). And I don't ever have caffeine (just don't like the drinks with it...it's not that I have great willpower). If I only had 60, I would have that problem again for sure. It can depend on where you live. But if you're feeling tired or lightheaded ever, DEFINITELY drink more!
Water is pretty much the only thing I drink. No idea how much of it I drink, but I drink it pretty much throughout the day.
I try to drink 100 oz. a day. That's a lot, but I run (when I can manage these days
), so I need the extra hydration, and I got in the habit of drinking that much when I was training for a marathon last fall and just never stopped.
Water needs vary from person to person, but at least 64 oz. is the rule of thumb. As long as you're feeling well and your pee is light yellow, you should be good.
I'd say I am drinking about 60 oz a day. Once summer comes, I'm sure I'll be drinking more.
A suggestion for you, and for other ladies having trouble taking in enough water:
You know those 8 oz bottles of water they have for kids? You should be drinking one every hour. Buy them.
You should drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses per day (48 to 64 fluid ounces) plus one 8-ounce glass for each hour of light activity. This is the minimum recommended amount of fluid intake.

i'm terrible with water, even before pregnancy. my OB told me between 64-80 oz a day, and i'm lucky if i get half that in water. i've been trying to drink other things (gatorade, watered down juice) to try to keep the fluid levels up so i don't get dehydrated but it's hard.
i already feel sick 24/7, so adding a full sloshy belly doesn't help!
I saw a commercial for this the other day and was wondering how it tastes. I was staying away from CL because of the artificial sweeteners. Plain water is getting to be a daily struggle for me. I think I'll try the CL Pure Fitness and see how that works.
