Join Gather in the Eight Glasses a Day Challenge. Win Gather Points™ and Crystal Light!

I can do this. Thanks Stefanie. I have already had 2 glasses today. I will be back later

I know I don't drink enough water so this will be a good time to start! Thanks, I'll give it a shot!

Ok, is see it starts today, i best get drinking. lol 

Had 1 already and having another now. Day off, cleaning house, going to need lots of water!!!

I already have consumed 23.7 ounces of water this morning alone.

 what size glasses,lol? I drink at least 8, but from the the 16 ounce bottles. it gets really hot here in Florida...

Penni, I had the same question.  The article says each glass should be 8 ounces.  Sounds like you already meet the challenge.

Penni D.

Susan is correct. The challenge is based on 8oz glasses of water. The goal is to drink 8 of these a day for a total of 64 oz. But even if you don't meet the goal, record your results here.

Good challenge! I've always been a huge fan of water. It's my drink of choice. When I go to a restaurant and everyone around me is ordering tea or pop or lemonade or beer, I say, just water, with a slice of lemon if you have it! I'm sure the waiter's impressed but it's what I like!

I'm on it, I've sipped about 4 oz already and have my water sitting near me, this will be fun. 

I will definitely be participating!

Im still waiting on Stefanie to get back with me on the Deli Creations coupons :(

me too Bryan~

She didn't get back to me, either, so I just sent her a message with my address and a link to the post saying I had won. You might try that.

I already emailed her twice, made a post, and emailed Gather today

I am still waiting too for my cranergy. It's been 2 months now, so i am sceptical going into another contest because i am not encouraged.

Hi Bryan, Priscilla, and Julie,

We had over 1,000 Deli Creations coupons that have been mailed for The Breakroom group. More are going out this week, so please, hang tight! If you have not received yours by Friday, June 5th, please send me a private message.

Hi Timi,

Winners for the To-Do Divas giveaway (including you) that you are referring to were selected and announced on 5/5. Fulfillment for that (and many other giveaways that do not require reviews) generally takes about 4-6 weeks to fulfill. Please expect to receive your prize by mid-June.

I'm starting drinking more water

I always drink 8 or more glasses of water every day.

I just finished my third glass (around 9oz each) of Wild Strawberry Crystal Light with caffeine.  Moving on to number 4 because this stuff kind of makes me more thirsty!  I've started weighing myself for the challenge as well, just to see if the change makes any difference in my weight.  After trying on and buying a new bathing suit I was a little disgusted about how bad I look, even though I have come far.

This would be a great incentive to start drinking more water for me (that actually tastes better!!)  And yes, I do get the daily headaches!  Maybe this could be the cause.  All I know is that they are very miserable and I just know that as of today I am not getting enough water per day...and I believe it flushes out your system too and that is very very important.  Also I need to lose weight and heard that more water is also an excellent solution to the problem of not enough water daily too!

I'm going to try.  None yet today but am just getting up really.

It will be hard because I hate hate hate water

Wow, you HATE water? What do you drink, LOL?

I drink a lot of brewed green tea.  Does that count?  Or must the water be water-only?  As in, no additives whatsoever?

I am a big tea drinker as well

Susan,

Yes, you may mix something into your water.

I start out each day by drinking a glass or two of water.  It helps shake the sluggishness off.

My wife has been forcing me to drink more water since before we were engaged. I guess it's helped because I haven't been sick in over two years (or maybe it has something to do with better eating habits).

I've already had three glasses of water today, and its not even 10am.  I should be able to do 8 glasses today without any problem.

it is only 11am and I am already at 40.9 ounces.  I have been drinking between 8 and 10 glasses a day since January and I feel great - I hope everyone who does this feels better too!

I think that this will be a good challenge for me, as somedays I don't drink a lot of water and I should.

I am ready! So far two cups!

great ... i have been doing this for years already ...

i am on my second cup too:)

I have had 2 glasses already and its11:40!

I actually had 9 glasses and 1/2 wednesday!

I drink at least 8 (EIGHT) glasses a day - its just about all I do drink!!

I read somewhere recently that one needs one ounce for each 2 pounds of weight, daily, just to keep dehydration away. I  know I exceed that.

I've had 3 glasses already today, and it's only noon time!!

I'm ready! I have some 16 oz bottles of spring water, our tap water tastes very nasty! I'll check in later and update how much I drank.

It's still early, but so far I've had a 12-ounce bottle of water. I bought some Crystal Light a little while ago to add to the water so I drink more.

I've consumed a 20 oz Vitamin Water, an 8 oz glass of ice water so far today.

I have my water ready to drink, I'm on my 3rd glass already this morning!

I been making sure I drink all my 8 glasses and then some each day!

I drink a lot of water. More now than before the 4wks to healthy digestion book came. I"ll be doing my review on that tomorrow... I've never really kept track of how much water I drink.. so.. I will be doing that this week. I'll check back at the end of my day(which will be in 14 hours from now).

Oops--I forgot it started today.  I'm off to the water jug.

Oh yeah!  This is the easy part, I love water....even drinking the 8 glasses a day there are days I just don't get enough water if I sweat a lot at work...which is happening more and more as the days continue to warm up!  I figure I would have gained so much more wieght than I did if it wasn't for all the water I love to drink!

I drink as much water as I can.

With Ice and cold cold cold.

Sounds good but no money in budget to buy the crystal light.

Minipin,

You can still take part in the challenge without it.

I don't do diet anything, but I keep a 64 ounce convenience store mug full of water... sometimes black or green tea... at work. Those mugs are great!

Good luck to everyone in the contest! ^_^

I have consumed 5 glasses of water already today.  I'll easily finish 8 glasses today.  I find when I'm reading a book that its really easy to drink water.

 I'm trying to do better about drinking water.

I have had 2-16.9 oz bottles of water with Crystal Light added so far today...I will be entering my journals each day closer to bedtime.

I live in the desert so this is easy, a matter of survival really.  Just finished my second bottle of water today, 16.9 oz each, I'll go through a few more at least! 

I drink several glasses a day, never measure them but will start.

I hope I can remember to make it back here every day.  I have been drinking more water since I stopped smoking and it has made me feel better....although I am running to the bathroom more often.  Regardless, I have had 5 today and will have 3 more before going to bed.

4 so far today.  But as my hubby has observed, "if humans actually require 64 oz. of water a day, why do they need to encourage us to drink that much?"  Do you have to encourage other humans to consume food?

I am up to 67.6 oz of water today, and I'll probably drink 16 oz more before the day is over.  Today I did rather well, probably because we weren't that busy today.  We'll see how I do tomorrow.  Thurs and Fri will be tough, because I will be the only one in the office.  I have to answer the phones, which means I have to find someone to cover for me while I run to the ladies room.  Not always that easy to do...

I have had 5 glasses so far, and the Crystal light I have added to each today wa the raspberry flavored one.  I am psyched.

I'm gonna try my best

I am up for the challenge.  I will try to do this.

so far  7 glasses  down and  still drinking,

  I've only had about 2-3 glasses and it is almost 6 p.m. here!  Wow, never realized I was depriving myself so bad...I will definately try to do better tomorrow!!!

I  love this idea, and will try to drink the 8 glasses a day - but I know myself enough to know I'll never post results daily - so I'll participate in body and spirit!

I've had 6 glasses already today and I have a 16 oz in front of me now.  I should have most of that consumed by dinner.  I'll have another one at dinner and that will probably be it for me.

always do this anyway, so joining in with a comment. glad if this gets others interested to do so.

I always have a 36 oz. bottle on my desk at work; I usually go through it at least once.  Right now I have a liter bottle of flavored water that I brought for lunch that I'm almost through with (though I don't do this every day).

I am a huge tea drinker, I mean huge I am talking close to 2 gallons a day.  I just came and ran along this so I will start now drinking water as a subsitute for part of it.

I would do this but I have some other obligations going on right now.  I do drink a lot of water daily.

I'm in!

I've had two glasses of plain water so far today.  I bought some of the new Crystal Light single packets and I'll one of them later.  That's actually a lot for me since I do not like water.  Tomorrow I'll start earlier in the day and see how far I can go.

Late checking in but I have had 6 glasses so far to day and have my bottle here to drink #7,I will have 8 by 9 O'clock.

I have had 9 glasses today. I will have one or two more before bed. This is a great challenge. Thanks!

So far today, I've had five glasses : (

I hope I'll still be able to get three more in before bedtime. On Wednesday, I will try to cut out a few of the DP's.

Here's an idea, use a 32 oz glass, if you fill it twice you have 64 oz, one more time and your over 80 ounces. Works for me, less often I have to go to the tap or refridgerator. You might be surprised how quickly you can actually drink that much.

i,m in i have had 4 and 1/2 glasses

I am up to 6 already!

I have had 6 so far, going out on the boat, so not sure if I will make it back to update... LOL.

I've had 6 so far but I don't feel to good, have a slight cold and I'm going to bed so I know I won't hit 8 today but I will tomorrow!

Good night

I just finished my 8th glass for today!

I usually drink water by the bottle so I need to check how much is in a bottle. I had two bottles today and half of a big bottle - that's probably close to eight glasses, but the day isn't over yet.

I'll see about picking up a crystal light packet or two to see how I like it.

Great contest!  I've had 3-4 glasses today!

We already drink primarily bottled water... and my husband loves the Crystal Light lemonade add-ins when he's been working in the yard!

I drink about 6 glasses per day.  So I should be able to up the anty!

Thanks for the info!

Day 1 and I dranked 68 ounces total. I dranked 20 ounces of water. 24 ounces of crystal light with water and 24 more ounces of water.  

Day #2.    

1 bottle of 24 ounces of water between 8am-12pm.  2nd bottle of 24 ounces of water between 1pm-4:45pm.  3rd bottle of 24 ounces of water between 5pm and 6:30pm.  No Crystal Light today, the first day, got the best of me.  The flavoring doesn't appear to my taste buds at all.  

A full 72 ounces today.  That's a full 8 ounces more than the target goal of 64 ounces.

Day #3.

1st bottle of 24 ounces of water between 8am-1:30pm.  

1 8oz cup of coffee @ 8:30am.

2nd 8oz cup of coffee @ 10am.

2nd bottle of 24 ounces of water between 2:30pm-5:00pm.

3rd bottle of 24 ounces of water between 5:00pm-5:50pm.

A full 72 ounces of water only today.  That makes a full 8 ounces more than the target goal of 64 ounces.  In addition to that though I had 16 oz of coffee today.  Today was one of those days.

I have been trying to drink more lately today I have had 80 oz so thats about 10 glasses

I don't know that it's a good thing to drink that much of ANYTHING every day, especially if your job is to sit at a desk and answer tech support questions all day.

Today I had 12 glasses of cool delicious water!!

grammavickie

i used to drink some crystal light every night at work a couple years ago, maybe its time to start again, sounds like a cool challange

Day 1, and I drank one bottle of Le Bleu (my fave brand) water (20 oz).  I drank tea the rest of the time.  This is a big challenge for me because I tend to dehydrate myself because I don't really like plain water.  I could definitely use some Crystal Light to flavor my water.  I drink sweet tea most of the time but should drink more water to avoid all the sugar. 

So far today, I have had 6 glasses of water.

I have had 8 bottles of water so far with crystal light and apple juice in them. I love water now.

I've had 6 glasses of water, one green ice tea, 2 mugs of hot water, so far today....  oh and a date with my bathroom  :)

64 oz of water a day, hmmmmmmmm, I like to drink water so I'm in.  My husband is also trying to drink more water a day.  His M.D. wants him to try to get 60 oz a day.  I like my water with ice in it, nice and cold.

I had half of a liter which i know isn't much but I did also have a bottle of fruit juice rather than soda too.

I started drinking 64 oz of water daily when i did weight watchers...unfortunatly, life got crazy for a year and I fell off that track.  I could always tell when I wasn't getting enough water, thought - and 100% believe that it had positive effects on my health.  I'm in on this challenge!  I think I've only had about 2 glasses so far today - but I'll head to the fridge now and make sure I make it at least to 6 before I go to bed...and jump on the track starting tomorrow.

Well, since I checked in earlier I drank 32 oz of water. Pretty proud of myself for that. I as well drank 32 oz of crystal light peach flavor.  Not including all the tea I had today

I didn't do very well today. I forgot about the challenge starting today, so I wasn't as focused as I needed to be. But I drank about 4 glasses

I'm pretty good at this one.  Will need to start tomorrow as today we put my father in the hospital and I didn't do too well.  It's warming up in Texas and 10 glasses is my norm.  Just 6 for today.

Well, this morning I had to have an ultrasound so I needed a full bladder for that. Between all the water I drank then, and the water throughout the day, I think I got about 120 ounces!! Much more than I normally drink. That comes up to 15 8-ounce glasses. Wow.

I finished my 8 glass goal tonight.

Ok I have my eight glasses. I am bloated!

I only had about 6 glasses today, so I need to do better tomorrow. No soda today, however, so that was a good thing. I drink diet soda when I indulge, but it's a better day when I don't drink anything but water and tea.

I have read that if you wait until you are thirsty to drink, you are already dehydrated.  I always have a bottle of water in the car with me. 8 glasses a day is 1/2 glass per hour. I can easily be in the car an hour at a time just running my daugher places or running to pay bills.  If you are in the car and the kids are cranky, the problem may be that they are thirsty.

6.5 glasses today, we'll see if I can do 8 glasses tomorrow.

I finished my eight OZ today.  I am feeling refreshed.

I missed the first day , but it won't hurt me to join in . I forget to drink enough water.

First just want to say I you like the taste of Strawberry, you should try the Crystal Light "Wild Strawberry Energy".. It taste really good!  I'm not so very fond of artificial sweetners, but this one is yummy!  I mixed mine with a 20oz bottled water and the taste was perfect.

So far I've had 5 glasses of water with Crystal Light, and one plain glass of the old H20 with my vitamins.  I am a night owl, so I have several more hours to get my 8 glasses in for today!!  I will update later!

Good luck to every one! 

I drank over a gallon of water today (or yesterday since it's after midnight now).  I worked out for over an hour, though, and it was really hot in my house, so I definitely needed all that water.

Oh, and plain filtered water was all I drank today.  It's all I drink at least 3-4 days a week, and the other days I might have a glass of juice (only if we don't have any fresh fruit) or a soda.

For the 26th, I had 6 glasses of water.  I was a little behind today, but I will catch back up today.

ok - i had about 4 glasses of water, 2 glasses of soymilk, and a bottle (13.7 oz) of starbucks frappuccino

I consumed about 30 ounces of water on May 26.  Doubling that would be a bit too much water for me, due to my work conditions.  Using the restroom on Monday or Tuesday is a significant inconvenience and would interfere with my job.

No problem with the 8 on May 26th and already had 3 on May 27.  This use to be quite hard, but now I really drink a lot of water.

I also try to drink a lot of water-better for your system than soft drinks and

cheaper (right out of the tap)

May 26 th I had 4 glasses of water--they were 16oz so I'm on track .

I'm in, good for body system regulation!

Count me in as well!  Great challenge.  I'll be back to report my progress.  Cheers everyone!

I had my 8 glasses plus yesterday and have already had 1 glass today, so I am off to a good start.

6 glasses yesterday. I have to rmeind myself to drink water.

I feel so much better when I do.

No problem...I drink 96 ounces of water daily!!!

I guess I'm going to count my green tea consumption.  So, yesterday I drank 16 oz of green tea, 16 oz. naturally carbonated mineral water, 16 oz Culligan water, and 16 oz of "other" water like several ounces of tap water to wash down my vitamin and fish oil capsules.  

I'm in, I have gone thru 3bottles 16oz already. water is the best for swallowing pills in the morning, and to get hydrated....it is also my drink of choice, as othershave stated!!

OOPS, I also make up a gallon of iced tea using oolong tea, everyday I drink this all day long, so I see that this also counts, so put me in for about a gallon a day!!

sounds great!  I really need to do this.  Some days I will drink lots of water and other days not much at all.  Yesterday I drank probably atleast 10 cups.  I am planning on continuing to try and do this daily.  

Today I have drank a water bottle full so far.  Which is just over 2 cups.  We have a water cooler and  keep refilling them at the cooler and also keep extras refilled in the fridge.  That makes it easier for me to carry the water around with me all day. 

Yesterday, I drank 1 & 1/2 water bottles of Crystal Light. I am not sure how many ounces those water bottles are, though. I would estimate 3 8 ounce servings?

The water bottle you received is around 24 oz...so that's just about 40 oz. Nice job!

I mowed our lawn yesterday, which with a riding mower takes 2 hours!  So, I was drinking water like it was going out of style!  I managed to drink 12 glasses.  I limit my Crystal Light intake to one or two glasses a day, so it will last me longer!  :)

Day 1 went good.  I went through 2 20 oz bottles of water at work and another 2 32oz cups at home. 

I drank my 8 glasses yesterday :) - Day one

I had my 8 glasses yesterday!  On #4 already for today!!

I'm on my 3rd 16 oz sippy bottle of water

I am on my first glass so far.  It is not easy, my stomach is so full I don't know if I can drink one more now.  But try I will.

Today I have had 5 glasses of water- all with Crystal Light.  Setting up a pitcher in the morning really makes it easier, and colder!  Plus I don't have to wait for the tap water to get cold so I'm saving water there. 

 just finished my 4th 16 ounce bottle today...half of usual take...

on track for eight or more today, plain water.

This is easy for me. One case has 24 bottles of 16 ounces each. It takes me three days to finish each case.... I'm ahead of the game,lol. before the contest this was my usual, and sfter the contest, it will be the same. I sure would not mind finding coupons for any kind of water to use at the store.

I really need to participate in this challenge. I had 6 glasses of water yesterday. So far today, I had 2 glasses of water and 2 16 oz mugs of coffee. I'll switch back to water for the rest of the day. I'll report back later.

Drinking now!

Ok, yesterday I wound up drinking 5 glasses (40 oz) of water. It was chilly and damp and I find it hard to want to drink anything cool in that kind of weather.

Today I have had 3 glasses of water so far and I don't think O woll have a problem getting down the remaining 5, I seem to be a bit thirsty today!

That should read I will not "O woll" lol...I can't type!!!

I drank 64 oz of water in total today (Wednesday 5/27)

So far today I have finished off 6 glasses of water with my Crystal Light

I have finished 5 glasses and 1 of my Crystal Light green tea.

This is my second day of the challenge, and I've had 24 ounces of water so far. Does it count to add Crystal Light to the water? I was at my parent's today, and my mother had a pitcher of Crystal Light lemonaid plus one of those Crystal Light single servings of rasberry lemonaide mixed in it. She made it strong so they could add lots of ice. Really good. That's what I want to do.

Sure, you can add Crystal Light to the water!

This is my second day of taking the challenge.

Today I'm already at six glasses. I picked up a raspberry lemonade packet from Crystal light for some extra flavor.

I prefer just dropping the packet in my water bottle so I have it handy while I'm working in the garden.

this is my second day of the challenge...  and i have successfully drank 8 glass each day!  :)  yay me!

It's hotter today and I have already had 3 - 20 oz bottles and expected I'll have 2 more and finish them!

We had a really impressive start to the Eight Glasses a Day Challenge. Want to know how much water the community drank on Tuesday, May 26 th according to the comment field of this post?

So far you drank over 3,200 ounces of water!

Great job all! Please note if you say you drank "x" glasses of water, I'll assume each glass is 8 oz. Indicate if it is more or less. Also, we'll only be counting how many glasses or ounces you had already consumed when you commented on the post. For instance, if you say "I usually drink 10 glasses a day" or "I plan to drink 5 glasses today", we won't count it. But if you say, "I already drank six glasses", then it will count towards the total we tally up.

Keep coming back to this post and tell us how much you drank for the day.

I drank 16.9 oz of water in 2 days

I DONT DRINK WATER I DONT LIKE IT

MAYBE IF I GOT SOME CRYSTLE LIGHT I MIGHT WOULD LIKE IT AND DRINK IT ALL DAY

 MAY HAVE TO TRY IT THANKS

Only three so far today, but I got up late.  I am a night owl, so I should be able to finish another five by bedtime.

I drank 27 oz atoday
