I have a question about water intake, for those who might know.
I go by the rule of dividing my weight in half, and drinking that amount of water in ounces daily. I've been doing this pretty religiously for the last 6 months. But in that time I've lost a fair amount of weight. Should I continue to drink as much water as I have been or reduce it accordingly?
Sorry if this seems like a silly question.

It should always be half your *current* weight in ounces. No question is silly, except the one you don't ask!

It's not silly at all. I too have been trying to figure this out. I have found through my research that it is your weight in ounces should be equal to your total water intake. This is a general rule of thumb and various on your physical activity and your environment. So to answer your question directly, the lighter you are, the less liquid you need to take in. And the other thing I have found out was that when they tell you it is your total intake, that includes all liquids - for example if you eat a lot of foods high in liquid content it also aids in your liquid intake. I am not doctor or professional trainer, these are things I have found out by reading articles over the Internet and books.

Drink when you are thirsty..LOL. I guess I drink a little less than I used to drink, but still 12-14 cups per day.
