Water sucks, it really really sucks!

I drink the most of my water during and after a workout. I can down 2 bottles during Zumba bc when I'm hot and sweaty, that's when I'm the thirstiest.

I hate water, too. A lot. So, I've been using the Crystal Light Liquid(s)..the Pomtini one is really good and its 0 calories. Give it a try.

perhaps if you think of the people in this world, so many young children and mothers, who don't have access to clean drinking water it might help you to appreciate it more? and if you can't drink it, donate to those who are without

We have water issues with our well. First, it smells like farts. Nasty. Second, we had it tested and the arsenic levels are over state levels and since arsenic is something that sticks with you...we now spend over $15 bucks a week on water. By now, I could have purchased the filtration system for under the sink. Thats something I plan on doing in the future. Anyways, as much as Crystal Light and MIO are not natural....it is the only way I can get to a good amount of water a day. I gave up everything else (But not coffee! LOL) I used to drink. I also have milk sometimes. So for me....not enjoying plain water....I use the flavorings to get me to an acceptable amount of water per day. I do like the fruit water made with pineapple idea someone else had. That sounds great to me. I may try that soon.

Once I stayed in a house where water smelled like that It was horrible, like the bowels of Beelzebub. Showers were unpleasant. Brushing teeth with that water also sucked. But for drinking, a simple Brita filter did help. Carbon filters remove smells pretty effectively.

There are loads of apps for iPhone and android that will work out how much to drink for your size etc and then remind you when it's time to drink....... All you have to do is follow the prompt when your phone goes off, simple! :-)

When I was in 7th grade health, we had an assignment (worth a test grade!) to drink 8 glasses of water everyday for a month. Our parents had to sign the sheet saying that we did, so we couldn't just lie about it. I found it near impossible! Then I came up with the idea, "Water Out, Water In". I put my glass in the bathroom on the sink, and whenever I would have a wee, I'd drink. Literally! I remember starting to drink first, and then visualizing it going through my body to its eventual exit. For my 13 year old self, this was great fun, and I had no problem completing the assignment. I haven't tried this in a long while, but I imagine the fun wouldn't be lost on a (slightly!) older version of myself. Give it a shot! It might just be so incredibly amusing that you are drinking far more than your 64oz of water a day!

I don't quite understand the 8-glasses-a-day thing. I hardly manage like 2-3 a day; I just don't see how anyone can be that thirsty. If I'm not thirsty, then downing a glass of water is just a pain and makes me feel a little nauseated.

as you go on in your journey the better you eat (fiber ,protein etc) and the increase in exercise and calorie intake based on your weight loss your thirst will increase. I was at 4 8oz a day for first week and now I am finding with the warmer weather and stuff I actually drank 8 8oz yesterday.

It's water. Chug it down. Make yourself drink it for 2-3 weeks. After that it you'll be used to drinking lots of it, and get thirsty more.

I love the way water makes me feel all moist in my mouth.........You will learn to love it.

Yes, this. You will learn to love it if you just swallow it regularly.

Edit: Serious reply. I find that I drink more water if it is out of a bottle or cup that I like. And with ice.

As it says - let your thirst guide you. I never force drink, I just drink when I'm thirsty. It makes things much easier.

^This yes. Why would you try to get more water in if you're body is obviously not asking for it?!? As long as your urine is a pale yellow you're fine. Please can we do away with the 8 glasses myth already?

Do you like green tea? Or i like sassy water just cut up you favorit fruit and freeze it or just buy frozen fruit ( check the labels) and use it as icecubes its a flavoring without all the junk

CTCMom2009

Buy a pitcher or water bottle that you can infuse fruit in... look on amazon, they have a few. Lemons, mint, berries... anything to give the water a natural flavoring should help you out!

I prefer my water at room temperature. I have 64oz water bottle that sits on my desk, I find it easier to drink the water if I can see how much I've consumed.

The wetter the better.....amirite?
