Minimins Water Challenge! - Page 3 - MiniMins.com

DQ · 17th September, 2006

Gonna give it a try, but with school runs, etc sometimes it can be difficult. Gulp gulp!

cah-ching · 2nd October, 2006

I'm up for the challenge too.

I'm just finishing 2.5litres of water just now, so I can drive home in comfort. I'll aim for another 1-1.5 litres when I get home tonight (that doesn't include the swimming pool water ;-))

cah-ching · 2nd October, 2006

p.s - I've always LOVED water, just never drank enough. I really can't bare to drink anything else unless it's alcoholic of fruit juice.

DQ · 2nd October, 2006

1 litre down - off for the school run then aiming for another litre!

Jubbly · 13th October, 2006

I usually drink 4 litres a day although I always lie in bed at night and have to go to the loo 3 times before I can sleep as I don't usually finish them until late!! I swear the only reason I managed to lose 3lbs this week was because although I cheated and went for a meal on Tuesday, I drank 6 litres the next day to compensate. Having said that, I'm lucky as I have always drunk water at work instead of tea or coffee.

Hiya,

I do believe water is the key too, I done 1 week of ss when I first started ages ago & drank 3 litres a day then another week I drank 5-6 litres of water and lost an extra 2-3 lb that week..

Trancer · 9th April, 2007

Up for the challenge too, but has it started here?.

Sam · 25th October, 2007

I am quite knew to this forum. Luckily I have already found these interesting posts here as I really need some advise to lose some weight. So you said that I should drink lots of water. But how much is normal? And am I also supposed to drink tea or coffee instead of water, because I would really prefer that. Actually that should be okay as long as I don't add any sugar with it, right?

SparkleEyes · 5th November, 2007

i try to drink atleast 1 litre of water before half past 10 ... sorta kick starts me into the day, then i gradually drink another litre or two throughout the day

Just wanted to say thanks to icemoose for a very informative eye opener!! And good luck to the rest of you with your water targets xx

Abeille · 4th February, 2008

I used to drink about 3lts of water a day, but I've slipped now... it's so hard to turn down a brew or a coke. I'm aiming for 3lts a day along side my morning and evening tea. Can't live without tea.

supersara2001 · 5th February, 2008

My BF can't either - he gets withdrawal symptoms and starts shaking!

craigdiver · 22nd April, 2008

I have a water cooler next to my desk at work and generally only drink a few cups per day with some no added sugar diluting orange.

Is it ok to dilute the water with no added sugar orange, if this is ok i'll take a 2 litre bottle into work and could easily polish off 4 litres in a day (boss will probably moan as never away from toilet!)?

Thanks for the advice

Craig.

Seriously...You guys must be on the loo all the time, I always prided myself that I could drink quite a lot during the course of a day (about 3 litres), but looking at how much you lot drink. It's insane.
espesially concidering the average human stomach has a maximum capacity of 5 litres at any one time. I have to say that volvic touch of fruit has been a saviour to me, because it's only 14 calories a litre, and after moving to uni I find it really hard to drink tap water. The Bath water tastes rank. (Bath as in city, not tub.)

GaynorEm · 26th April, 2008

I can manage 3 litres a day - comfortabley - anything over that and I am peeing like a race horse.
