    Anyone having any challenges with getting water everyday... I'm good for a couple days and then fall off.

    What's your trick to consumption?

    WhataBroad, same here I aim for the 8 a day I don't have any tricks. like you I do well then Its like wow only 3 glasses so far ?

    I use a water bottle that holds 24 oz so I aim to refill it at least 3 times!
  • I no longer strugle t get the water, but I definitely did in the past. I bought a HUGE glass - 64 oz. extra insulated - and filled it first thing in the morning. I could have two cups of coffee and NOTHING else (beerages only!) until the water was gone. At the time, I had a raging diet Coke addiction, so it was quite the motivator to drink all the water. Now, six years later, I drink barely drink any soda. Still have coffee in the am, then water all day long - sometimes add in a vitamin water. Ihe big glass trick worked really well for me.

    hmmm... that sounds like a plan. I actually prefer my water at room temperature most of the time, so I think I will get a big bottle and have it sit on my desk right in front of me... I guess I still have to make myself drink it but at least this way, it'll be right at hand.

    I have a 32 oz insulated tumbler with a lid and straw. I've found that I like my water icy cold with a bit of lemon, and I drink way more when using a straw than without one. I also keep it sitting within reach of my keyboard at work so I constantly see it. I refill it 4-5 times daily. :)

    Like many have posted, I keep a water bottle at the desk and drink it all day and refill several times during the day. I do struggle to get the water in on the weekends or when I'm not at my desk (in a training class or another building for meetings all day). Need to set myself up with the water bottle at home too to see if that helps.
