How can I add more water? I'm having a really hard time with water.

    I like mine with fruit in it. Lemons mostly. Drink it all day long. Used to only drink RedBull, Pepsi, sweet tea, and coffee.

    I don't drink sodas, tea or coffee. I drink water just not enough of it

    Get a 32 oz water bottle...fill it up...drink it...fill it up again...drink it...and so on and so forth.

    Honestly it's true the water bottle helps force you to remember to drink more.

    What makes you think you aren't getting enough water?

    Oh mercy. This is me. It's pretty much all I drink but I don't drink enough. Have you tried a water tracker app that reminds you- like "Daily Water Free Water Reminder and Counter" You can set it up to remind you multiple times a day.

    Didn't know about this. I'll have to try it.

    This pretty much. I keep a smart water bottle and refill it through the day. I try to drink one bottle with each meal.

    I had the same problem - I tried the fill up a 32 ouncer and keep it with me, but after a few hours I realized it was still mostly full, but I couldn't drink so much all at once, and then gave up.... So I signed up for a water tracker app that yells at you every so often to drink a certain amount - you set the amount and it figures out how often you should drink that much through the day to reach your goal and then it buzzes at you and you drink! I started out setting my cup size at 2 ounces. That's two... and it yelled at me constantly, but it was easy to swig 2 ounces each time it did. And then it became more routine and started drinking more. I've changed the size to 8 ounces and keep a little 8 ounce water bottle with me at all times - one in the fridge at work and one in front of me and just refill and switch. I went from drinking about 1-2 glasses of water a day (I know, how does one survive) to 64 ounces a day no problem. except peeing a lot. I use hydro coach app, which works for me, but there are probably lots that will. But I definitely would get one that actually yells at you to drink if you want to try an app, cause if you're like me, logging alone won't get you to keep drinking - it'll just show that you're not drinking enough.

    Get a gallon of water. Make marks down the side of the jug and write times that you must have the water line to that point. That's how I originally got myself to drink enough water daily.
