    Coconut water generally has 70 calories. It may seem like a lot, but it's an alternative.

    I don't like water either. I started using lemonade flavored Kool Aid and put splenda in it for the sweetner. Wal-Mart has Kool Aid for 20 cents a packet and it makes 2 quarts.

    I like to get the individual crystal light packets (or the walmart brand) and add those to my water. I only add about 1/4th a packet to a bottle of water...that way it gives it just enough flavor and not too much :)

    For something healthy, I'll brew some tea (usually green or black).

    For something not-so-healthy, I'll get a can of Diet Coke out of the vending machine.

    This is me exactly!!

    It is nice to see all of the different responses on here . I use to hate, hate, hate water. The mere thought of putting that to my mouth turned my stomach! I started out by adding " Sobe Lifewater" to my water until I realized that it had carbs in it that I chose to use elsewhere. So, I went to trying the different "Green Teas" and with the varieties out there.... Green tea w/ Pomegranate.... my personal favorite or Purple acai and Blueberry... ( There are so many!!! ) and they have such a great flavor to them, you just throw them in some hot water and enjoy! ( Most of the time, I don't even sweeten it! ) I have a 2 cup coffee cup that I just love! I have some tea and I have 2 cups of water down the hatch w/o even suffering!! :laugh: When I go to workout everyday, I fill my 23.7 oz. water plus a huge cup with ice and water and drizzle realemon on the ice.... just enough to flavor... and when I am done working out, my water is almost always gone, if not, real close. Just my one tea ( which I usually have 2 or sometimes 3 ....2 cup servings ) and the water I drink in my workout is over my daily need. Funny thing is, now that I drink the lemon water or the tea, I usually have one or the other all day long. I live in Arizona where it is cold maybe 5 hours a year ( JUST KIDDING :bigsmile: ) and when I go out, I use to stop at the gas station first thing and grab a cold drink and now, I have found myself grabbing my large cup with a lid and getting my lemon water before ever leaving my driveway. I save $$$ and it is good and refreshing too!! I have also found the Hawiian Punch sugar free packets to go refreshing, but I don't bother with those anymore. They taste really strong to me now that I drink the water the way that I do. Good luck to you!! :flowerforyou:

    I make crystal light ice tea--with double the water. It's funny, people always comment how good it is--when they wouldn't like it full strength. I find it too sweet if full strength, but perfect with double the water.

    I drink a lot of sugar free squash/cordial. It's low calorie and it adds flavour to the water I drink.
