H2O otherwise known as WATER...DRINK IT!

Water, water and more water...DRINK IT! I love it! I find it is much easier to drink, if you always have a glass or water bottle nearby. Measure how much water fits into it and then drink it. You will then know exactly how much you have had, then logged it and fill it up again. Don't fill it up when it's half full, keep on drinking until it is empty. Try to steer clear of using a straw, I usually use something that I can GUZZLE the water down. Yesterday, I drank 8 cups by noon. I was using a plastic cup that holds 3 cups. I drank, I logged, I filled it up again, I did it all over again.

So remember:

DRINK, LOGGED, FILL UP. REPEAT. DRINK, LOGGED, FILL UP. REPEAT. AND SO ON...

I have a 24oz thermos intak bottle that has a twisty thing on top that shows how many bottles you've had. I drink about 5 bottles every day. I never go anywhere without my water bottle. My husband is the same way with his now.

I gag on water w/o straw.

These are my favorite ways to drink it::
I ♥love♥ drinking it from empty soda can (I'm trying to cut my soda habit)
Also I use an empty slimfast can.
A 32oz refillable fountain drink cup

Always flavored, I have not found plain water I can drink (w/exception of eating at restaurant)

my cup hold 23 oz and i tend to drink 3 of those by the time i leave work... i'll drink another 2 when i get home.

i grew up drinking more water than drinks/juice/soda so i've never had trouble drinking water.


lil crystal lights packs are a nice touch for those who dont like plain water. only about 5 or so calories

Yesterday I think I drank a 1.5 gallons. I'm sure about the gallon - not sure about the rest because we were eating out and I lost track. I, too, don't care for plain water - it's got to be flavored, unless I'm eating out and it's got tons of ice in it.

I don't always log it anymore, but it's a habit now.

Ick. Sorry for the double post...

Agreed! This is exactly what I do. Although I do prefer my water with a straw, I seem to drink faster that way.

Why should you avoid using a straw? I've always found it makes it so much easier to drink a ton of water when using a straw. Am I missing something?

thx!

I just find I can drink more without using a straw. Plus, I find I take in too much air with a straw. Strange I know. I guess it's just personal preferance.

i think a lot of people dont realize how easy it is... 8 oz is only a kid size cup!!! when they think 8 cups im sure they visualize the drinks you get at restaurants lol!!! fill up one of those 44 oz cups from a gas station and you're almost done for the day
