Here is the advice I got about how to make it trough the challenge last month.
From Adam (gbidruglord)

What I've got is a 32oz nalgene bottle that I keep with me at all times. You wouldn't believe how much water I can drink in a day by just sipping on that from time to time

From Norah (FLdoodette)

A thin slice of lime added is a refreshing change from just plain water, Liv; personally, I just grab a 12-ounce glass of the plain stuff and guzzle Three in the morning, three in the afternoon ... anything after that is gravy

From Frankenspline

I find it helpful to carry a 64 insulated Big Gulp mug with me. I fill it with one tray of ice cubes and fil it up every morning on my way to work. It is incredibly easy to just sip on it all day long. Then I fill it again when I get home from work --- automatic 128 ounces of H2O evey day

From Gigi (gooniegirl)

On a regular work day, I'll drink 2 full glasses right away when I get up in the morning before my tea and brekkie..then bring a 64oz bottle to work with me that I finish there. I have another 2 glasses when I get in the door from work (96oz at this point).. then have more with dinner and through the evening... taking a 2 glass size to bed with me at night (so it's probably more most days than what I post). However, I always drank and loved water so most days it's not that a difficult thing for me to get in. It's the number of bathroom trips that are an obstacle!! Wonder how many calories I burn with those trips alone!

I must say that this challenge got me up from about 64 oz a day to over 100 or about half my weight. Thank you!
I'm in for 100 a day.

[MissLiss4u]

Oh, I'm totally in this one! Put me down for a minimum of 64 ounces per day, but my goal really is 100 ounces or so.

Yeah H2O =)

[LadyBethny]

This was fab! I am in for 75 again! Thanks!

[caramella]

I'm in for 80oz a day.

[blueberrylady]

I'm in for 64 ozs. This is just what I need to keep me focused on drinking the water because I have a hard time distinguishing hunger from thirst!
