I have seen a HUGE improvement in my hair over the last month. I have been drinking about 80oz of water per day. My hair is definitely growing faster and is more moisturized. Stick with it ladies!

ZebraPrintLover You are doing well!
I slacked today, but I'm still sipping and skipping to the restroom.

I hate that I have to use the bathroom so much. Especially at work because it's soo far. By the time I get back to my seat...I have to go again. Lol!!!
But my hair and skin loves the benefits

I'm not part of the challenge since I drink loads of water normally (at least a gallon a day) but wanted to share something that makes the water better for me nutritionally and taste-wise. I juice about 3-4 lemons and add to a gallon of water a day. I don't add sugar (lemons naturally have a small amount of sugar) nor do I use bottled lemon juice. The lemon juice adds an AMAZING amount of minerals and vitamins (especially B!!!) in addition to hydration, and tastes great. I always drink it through a straw.
Not sure if this was mentioned but I hope it helps. I typically don't drink anything else, other than unsweetened tea (hot or cold) with cinnamon on the occasion. If you're accustomed to drinking sugary drinks it may taste odd at first. But once you get into the habit of drinking your water with lemon, and you go back to plain water, it'll taste weird and empty...lol
(Limes are good too!)

NappyNelle Thanks so much for checking up on me! I've been drinking water but not as much as I was when I posted a few weeks ago about my cucumber water. I struggle when I'm not at home though, especially if I'm driving bc I'm scared to get caught in traffic with no bathroom. I gotta do better!

I had a dream of seeing my cousin. I commented that her hair was SO much longer than the last time I saw her and wanted to know what she was doing to get it to grow so fast. She said that she's been drinking lots of water. I woke up, taking that as a reminder to get back on my water game. Wouldn't you know I just ran out of spring water. Ordering extra tanks for this month. Meantime, sending hubby out to the store. 
I'm on it!

What a cool reminder, Njoy!
I'm still drinking an average of 64oz a day of water. I don't have to lotion up my normally dry legs.
I'll be back to work soon, so I may need to find a new bottle that can hold at least 1 liter.

Exceeded my goal with 87 oz today. :woohoo:
I always have an easy time meeting my goal when refilling my SmartWater bottle. I mean, I have another water bottle about the same size but something about the SmartWater bottle looks harmless but gets a lot down. I'm back on track now.

Getting back on track! I've had 3 of my 4 16.9 oz bottles for the day. So proud of myself! 
Read something about salt and electrolyte balance, etc. on another thread. Tried taking a bit of salt right before I drink my water as suggested on watercure.org. Worked like a charm.
I was able to drink my water down much faster as well as retain it longer (not pee so quickly after drinking). Gonna try and get the unprocessed sea salt some time soon.

I'm awfully late, but I'm joining! I started on Thursday after making up my mind I needed to drink more water. I've started with a liter a day and trying to build up to 3 1/2 liters a day. Will check in tomorrow with an update on progress.

Only drank 80oz today. I'm trying to change my time parameters because I woke up three times last night. 
It's hard for me to go back to sleep, so I'm trying to stop all fluids by 9:30pm.
