    Not sure if anyone stated but don't underestimate fruits and veggies that contain water. That is a great way to get your water as well.

    maybe a good way to get your water.. but is the trade off in calories worth it ?

    DONT DO IT!!!! YOU DONT NEED IT! There is NO SCIENTIFIC evidence that you need 8 glasses of water. it comes from a study that was misquoted about total liquid needed. the study mentioned MOST people will get MOST of their liquid from their FOOD. Google "8 cups myth" or something similar. Do your own research. If you LIKE drinking all taht water, do it. if not, DONT! Stop guilting people into it. Tea, coffee, crystal light, soda, everything but alcohol count for water... it's mostly water. :-)

    This is ridiculous.

    Research why water is so important to the human body. Skin, brain function, digestion and elimination, etc.

    Something to remember is that 8 cups is NOT 8 big glasses of water. It's 8 - 8oz cups (64 oz) of water. So 3 - 20 oz plastic bottles of water practically get's you to your 64 oz. That's just 1 with breakfast, 1 with lunch, 1 with dinner! If you're like me and love soda, at a restaurant, order both - one glass of water, one soda (since water's free anyway!). Be Strong and Courageous!

    I like the water from my new frig, so that's helping. Getting good water is a start.

    I put just a pinch of a powdered drink in water sometimes (like Arizona tea, Propel, etc).

    I drink very weak, black tea. Steep it until it's a pretty shade of brown, not dark. Just a few dunks if the water is truly hot.

    Add 1/2 a lemon and some stevia to water.

    Hot cocoa with stevia.

    Espresso coffee with 1 c. milk (unfortunately I'm addicted again)

    I grab 6 bottles every night, put 2 celestial seasonings berry zinger tea bags in each of them, and a few drops of berry stevia. Fabulous!

    Some days I do have slower days but for the most part, I drink at least 15. I also have OCD-like tendencies so everything with my fitness is on some sort of schedule!!
