I got a big mug that holds 24 oz of water. I go through it twice, which isn’t too hard (I add a small splash of juice for flavor). I’ve noticed the more water I drink, the less I weigh. Not sure how that works, but I like it.
That’s perfect, Juniper! I love a good splash of something in my water too, definitely makes it easier and more enjoyable. Sometimes I use hydration tablets after exercise too.
And regarding the weight, yes, it’s a thing. Water helps flush out a lot of residues and toxins from bodily processes, making it all work nicely and more efficiently, especially when it comes to fat metabolism.
Here are 3 good, comprehensive reads from reliable sources I trust, to help you better understand this water/weight phenomenon:
I am trying to create a water drinking habit that sticks (I must be part camel to have survived on such little water for the first 30 years of my life). Thanks for the tips, I'm hoping they help!
Haha oh my god, I resonate with the part camel bit! I've also wondered about the same. It was only until my early 30s when I realised I had a bad hydration problem... Not even med school taught me that in practical terms. Insane.
I hope my trick helps you, Beck! So many ways to make a habit stick, with work and consistency, you'll make it. 🤗

Thanks, I will definitely read these!
My pleasure! Have a lovely day and weekend ahead. :)
Thanks for the reminder! I usually hydrate well in the morning and then forget to drink enough water throughout the day. Smh. lol
Im glad it helped, Desmond! Thanks for being here. :)
