    I am horrible about drinking water so i made a little check off and put it on fridge, so everytime i looked at it i'd drink and check off.
  • I have one of those reusable plastic cups with a lid and straw, its about 20 oz. I fill it up porbably 6-7 times a day, and I make sure that when I get up to go to the bathroom I refill it afteards.

    I keep a water bottle with me at absolutely all time - even if it is the small 500 mL water bottle I got at walmart, which is all that fits in many of my purses. I own water bottles of all diferent sizes so that I can carry one in all different scenarios. when you are seated at a desk or on the couch, keep a BIG water bottle next to you. if its there, you will drink it :)

    I bring a big stainless steel water bottle and fill it up and plop it next to me at my desk. Generally, if it's there, I'll drink it.

    Also, I've calculated how many of them I have to drink in order to down 12 glasses of water, and I make sure that I drink that amount before allowing myself any "extraneous" beverages (read: diet soda).

    I also have a large cup that I keep full and right next to me at my desk at work:)

    I have a desk job and our office keeps the 8oz water bottles. I take a sharpie and # them as I drink them. It seems to make me drink more when I'm on a low # and the day has gone by. I don't have a problem at night drinking water when i work out and eat dinner.
  • I get intimidated by those HUGE water bottles, so I just keep a 16oz nalgene bottle with me at work. I try to drink 2 bottles before lunch and 2 after. I don't always get there, but it helps having a reusable bottle.

    I also just found this widget (for my droid) called tracker savvy. I just searched "water widget", and tada! I know MFP has a water tracker, but having a little glass of water on my homescreen with the number of cups of water I have left to drink is really cool.

    I keep my water bottle full at all times. I have a 24 ounce water bottle that I fill up at night and put in the fridge so it's nice and cold first thing in the morning, and then it doesn't leave my side all day. I take it with me EVERYWHERE. I've gotten to wear I feel naked if I don't have it with me!

    I make sure I have at least 3 of them full a day (so that's 72 ounces) but I often drink even more when I work out or just because. Also I take a medication that makes me really thirsty so I tend to drink a lot of water anyway.

    By drinking water.

    You could develop that concept into a book.

    Hahaha! Yeah, that's deep! :laugh: :wink:


    I try! :laugh:
