    I get tired of plain water. Is crystal light bad?

    Nah. I love Crystal Light. I did the math once and found that the most I ever drink in a day is 35 calories worth, but that's a lot of water (I think a gallon...if I remember correctly). I don't even log it.

    I also like Mio.

    I agree, I never log those cals either. Probably peed them all out lol.

    I just can't get enough of sparkling mineral water.

    It has all the fizz and the zing and none of the fake sugar or calories.

    Aww, no, nothing sparkly for me. (Upsets my stomach.) And nothing sweet - that makes me even more thirsty. :'D

    But what's super nice in summer:
    The water+mint combination. Especially when you have a mint plant at home.

    Plain water taste a million times better than the crystal light stuff.
    I do like sparkling water occasionally.

    Try Stevia - look at your local health food store for Stevia in many flavors. You add a few drops to water and yum! It helped me get off the sodas that have made me chronically ill. I enjoy chocolate and the peach.

    If you can get dried hibiscus flowers, usually at a latin market if there's one near you, you can make agua de jamaica. Very very refreshing.

    I've never heard of it, so I had to Google...

    Sounds delicious!

    I like Vitamin Water Zero... It uses stevia instead of the artificial sweetener and the REAL Vitamin Water is really bad for you (the one with real sugar, it has a HUGE amount of sugar for a drink). Of course, water is the best but like you I cannot do it all the time and I have never liked adding just fruit because it always tastes like watered down juice to me... I like fruit on its own :) But yeah, I would avoid crystal lite for sure. I started drinking it too a bit ago and read so many awful stuff about it and the fact it can actually HINDER weight loss (look it up). Good luck!

    I don't like water so the only way I will drink it is with crystal lite. My favourite flavours are orange and lemon. I am ADDICTED to the stuff... have it literally stocked up in my pantry :p
