Such a bad habit! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1836315 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 07:54:10 +0000 ValentineMommy 1836315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhhhh...I drink like, 16 oz a day (one bottle of water). Def not enough. I was much better about it while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1836169 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 00:10:09 +0000 gingerbebe 1836169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charmed: @Mrs. Sunshine: That's true, lots of people in our town refill their 3 or 5 gallon jugs at the grocery store and just use a non-electric ceramic cooler spigot thing. I think its like $.32 a gallon around here, so definitely cheaper than buying 1-gallon jugs.</p> <p>@Mrs. Sunshine, if you are a Costco member, they have discounts for water service. <a href="http://www.costcowater.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.costcowater.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1836041 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 21:29:18 +0000 matador84 1836041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easily 100 oz or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1836006 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 21:01:46 +0000 sandy 1836006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I worked I drank so much water bc I would just be at my desk or in a meeting and I had a water bottle with me all the time. I would drink at least 80-100 oz water a day easily. </p> <p>Now that i stay at home I barely remember to drink water - and I'm pregnant :-/ . I probably get around 50 oz on a good day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835926 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 20:06:12 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1835926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told that I need about 100oz of water per day. While on mat leave, I was coming close - but now that I'm back at work, I'm lucky if I manage to drink 32 oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835914 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 19:58:20 +0000 catomd00 1835914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually get at least 90 oz at work alone. Judging by your coworkers recommendation I'm doing great! (Should have 45 oz.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835872 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 19:31:17 +0000 charmed 1835872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: @Mrs. Sunshine: We have a water cooler too, but the place is just down the road so we don't have them deliver - just go refill the jugs once a week. It is great though!<br /> So much cheaper and easier than individual bottled water from the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835801 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 18:47:10 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1835801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: hopefully this conversation will help me remember to bring it up with DH later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835738 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 18:04:42 +0000 gingerbebe 1835738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: OMG its the best thing ever. Especially because you can have hot and cold water on demand and if the cooler ever gets gross or dirty, they just come and swap it out with a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835716 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:52:15 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1835716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: we are seriously considering water delivery. It's a PITA buying do much water. I have to go to the store for water an extra two times a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835692 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:41:17 +0000 dagret 1835692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not enough! Probably only 40 oz a day. And I'm pregnant. My last pregnancy, I could to drink enough water. This time I have to force myself to drink it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835684 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:36:43 +0000 gingerbebe 1835684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: We straight up get water delivery to our house. We have awful water around where we live too and I'm super picky about the way my water tastes. We used to get five 5-gallon jugs delivered every 2 weeks and we just recently bumped up to 7. Uh yeah, there are just 2 of us here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835673 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:33:23 +0000 mrskc 1835673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I'm breastfeeding again, I've been drinking 100-120 oz of water a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835658 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 17:21:25 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1835658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After reading everyone else's responses...Oh man. I drink like, a glass or 2 a day? No wonder I feel like sh#t. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835550 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 16:07:59 +0000 MrsKRB 1835550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try and drink ~100oz, I have a huge water bottle that holds 48oz, so I try and I drink 2 of them. It's a myth that you need that much though, everyone is different - if you are not retaining water and not thirsty, than you are probably drinking enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835526 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 15:58:58 +0000 Lindsay05 1835526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why something that is so necessary, so hard to remember to do? I have such a hard time remembering to drink water. But a cup of coffee? I will fight tooth and nail to consume! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835521 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 15:56:05 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1835521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess not enough?</p> <p>I drink about 60 oz, but half my body weight would be about 70+ oz, so I guess I should step it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835504 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 15:46:27 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1835504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: this. &amp; I want to stop drinking so much because I'm so tired of going to the bathroom but I am genuinely that thirsty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835437 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 15:14:36 +0000 looch 1835437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to drink 100 ounces, but I was going to the bathroom way too much to be productive, so I cut back to 64 ounces. I drink only water most days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835330 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:41:37 +0000 youboots 1835330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to make it to 64 oz daily. My naturopath said anything that is not caffeinated counts towards the total, including juice and Gatorade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835328 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:41:20 +0000 jetsa 1835328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100oz or so. I thought it was 8 glasses but I don't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835324 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:40:59 +0000 fairy 1835324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you know if that rule applies to kids too? I am sometimes bad at remembering to give DD water! But when I do give it to her she guzzles it down like her dad. I just didn't want her to get "full" on water so I limit her to 10oz unless it is really needed (she's 14 months and still nursing too) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835315 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:38:51 +0000 fairy 1835315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not enough D: It just doesn't cross my mind unless my throat feels dry. My husband however drinks at least a gallon a day. He's guzzling it all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835314 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:38:41 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1835314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably drink around 60 oz. Not quite half my body weight, but not too far off. I'm also much better at drinking water at work than if I'm home all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835311 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:37:21 +0000 NeekieRose 1835311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 100oz. Sometimes more. Try to fill up my 24oz cup at least 4 times at work plus usually a glass of water with dinner. I am much better at drinking water at work than anywhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835310 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:37:14 +0000 artsyfartsy 1835310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No where near enough. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835302 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:35:48 +0000 gingerbebe 1835302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-pregnancy, I was probably drinking about a gallon of water every 24 hours (I drink a lot of water at night), or more. During pregnancy, like 2-2.5 gallons a day. Its pretty insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835280 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:25:33 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1835280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink a crap ton of water. I'm supposed to consume about 72 oz of water a day. I don't know the exact number of what I drink but it's somewhere around 160 oz. Which in theory is great but our well water isn't drinkable &amp; there is too much iron in the water for a filter to be effective so I am buying crap tons of water a week. We are on gallon #7 since Friday. Some of that is DH &amp; LO but mostly me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-water-do-you-drink-a-day-4#post-1835271 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 14:23:43 +0000 namaste 1835271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink about 64-80oz daily. I'm not sure how much you're supposed to drink but I hope I'm drinking enough! </p>
