Lack of Fluids.

[Mrs Quiggle]

Does anyone else find it so hard to get fluids in. I know I don't drink enough but I find it so hard drinkingo all the time. I do try, I don't like water much, well I do but it's boring so I put NAS squash in it which is fine at work as we use it there and I try hard with tea and coffee which still counts as fluids but I forget or don't get round to it. Think I'll start taking my water bottle in to work with me again. I don't stay in the same place all the time at work though I'm moving around the home and can't always lug a bottle with me. Hey ho. Must try harder. It's probably why I'm losing weight so slowly, about a pound a week.

At least you're losing steadily. I seem to have stalled for the past week. And you've lost 69lbs! If I'd done that, I'd be at goal!

I agree. Don't stress about it Kate. As long as your wee is the colour of straw you are doing OK. And 1lb a week means you'll be there this time next year - looking bloody gorgeous!

Like you Kate I struggle to get my fluids in I tend to have about 3 or 4 cups of tea a day, a cup of milk at bedtime. Sometime I drink another 250ml of nas squash others it's much less occasionally more but not often. I loose in general about a pound or two each week. Although I carry my juice bottle with me everywhere it's tough making time to drink while I teach or support as I tend to forget until I'm really thirsty & if I drink a lot it's not always easy to head to the loo if I'm meant to be in a class or fit it in between lessons. One day I'll get it right it's one of the main things I still have to get right in this learning curve of ours.

I have about 8 cups of coffee a day and that's about it. I start the 5 day pouch test on Monday so have no choice but to up the fluid intake x

Hun a 1lb a week is amazing... so your doing well hun so dont worry xx
i dont know how you can get your fluids in at work... but this is my typical day... in the week that is...

breakfast 7.15.
work 250ml tea before i get on my till... i take it in a flask.
while on till: 400ml squash in bottle... i usually manage about 350ml.. then have the other bit during the day.
Lunch
400ml tea, 250ml hot choc
dinner
400ml tea, 250ml hot choc

occasionally i will also have a cuppa soup as this is fluids too... so at the mo im just under 2ltr xx

i brought a bigger mug which is now 400 ml.. so if im home i will use that instead of a 250 ml one xx
