Just keep trying! You are doing an amazing job and still losing. I'm sure you can work your way up to 100 oz of water/day. I'm still at 50 or so oz. Which isn't nearly enough but it's a WHOLE LOT more than I used to drink (none) Hope you have an excellent day!!  

I don't know how you are drinking your water. Out of bottles or glasses? The easiest way I've found to drink a lot of water daily is to refill my old water bottles and keep them close-by. I sit at a desk most of the time, so I keep them lined up on my desk. I have 2 - 16.9oz., 2 - 20oz., and 1 - 17.2oz. When I take a drink, I don't guzzle it, but I do get enough each time to swallow a few times. When that bottle is empty, I grab another one. I also try to start drinking as early in the morning as possible. Like today, I started on my first bottle at 7am. By 2pm, I had already drank 4 of them. When they're all empty, I take them downstairs and refill them and start over. That's the only way that I can get around 100 or more oz. a day. It's funny, even when I haven't been in a challenge that requires drinking water, it's become such a habit, that I still go through that same routine even though I don't "have" to. I haven't had anything except water, unsweetened tea with splenda (already in it) and lemon, or coffee since I started low-carb in August, except for 2 (maybe 3) allowed splurge days. My body should love me lol. So far today, I've had 131 ounces :) I see y'all waaay back there behind me.. Better catch up! LOL (just a little motivation talk ;) .. y'all are doing great!)
