    I found a trick that works for me to drink more water. I bought Dole cubed frozen fruits, like strawberry or pineapple mango. I just put amtablespoon or two in my water instead of ice cubes, and it favors the water slightly plus when you get to the bottom of the glass you either have a sweet treat of fruit or the fruit gets stuck on the bottom! If it gets stuck on the bottom the I fill it back up with more water to get the fruit floating again to eat a few pieces, lol...

    But it has worked wonders for my water consumption, still have diet dr pepper a few times a week, but cut back significantly

    Unweetened iced tea with lemon does it for me :)

    Water
    Coffee
    Unsweetened iced tea
    Sweetened hot tea
    Lassi
    Gin, beer, scotch, wine

    Once in a while, I like apple or grape juice with club soda. For years my kids would prefer that over soda.

    I drank Coke Classic for the last 30 years of my life. Started this diet and stopped all processed drinks that I could. No more coke, no more sugar sweet teas, etc. I drink whiskey and cokes normally so I have had to switch to scotch on the rocks. It has been ok and a good change for me. Water with lemon for every meal, and at home I have a squeeze bottle of lemon to give my water a little kick.

    Beer is also something I wasn't prepared to give up so I have stuck with lower calorie beers which seem to meet my needs.

    In the morning I always have a glass of Orange Juice. Tropican has a 50/50 Orange Juice now that is lower on the calories also.

    Cut out regular sugar and went to splenda for my coffee, and at work I will just take it black.

    Been 1 month of diet and working out and have lost 20 lbs. No special pills or anything like that. Just changing what and how much I eat. Ground Turkey instead of Ground Beef and lots of Salmon and Salad.

    I drink a crap ton of tea. Usually loose, high quality Japanese green tea, but sometimes a nice oolong or puerh. I have a teapot that holds 3 cups and I usually steep the same tea three times, so that's 9 cups of (what I count as) water a day.

    I also drink 1+ cups of coffee a day, but I feel weird counting that as water although I know some do.

    I drink a TON of water (2 gallons a day usually), and 2-3 coffee a day... and that's it. I kicked my diet pepsi habit and no longer have it in my house. But I will order one if I eat out as a 'treat'... Weird treat I know. :laugh:

    Home-brewed coffee, then water all day, and possibly a herbal tea in the evening

    I have a chocolate milk (or 2 :P) everyday, otherwise I drink water or herbal fruit teas (they're awesome, I find they don't need any sweeteners, good hot and makes an awesome iced tea), and the occasional pop if I feel like it.

    I do love raspberry tea, but at restuarants is to sweet. Can you buy in packets to take with you?

    So good on it's own or with a splash of lime, orange or lemon.

    Has helped me kick the Coca Cola corporation to the curb.

    Coffee, lots of coffee, which I know is bad, but I switched and hardly drink soda at all. I do occasionally have a diet 7up. I hate water so this is a struggle for me!! Good luck.
    Oh and I do enjoy some wine.

    I am getting into these Yogi brand teas - my two favorites are peach detox (caffeine free) and perfect energy (with caffeine). I have to add truvia (one pack to two tea bags). If I let it go in my mug and it gets cold, I just add ice cubes and continue. Try to break that diet "CHOKE" habit people!! Soooo bad for you. I work with someone who drinks about a case a day. I have another friend whose husband says "only fat people drink diet coke". Kind of an eye opener.

    If I drink juice it is the Trop 50 brand and even at that, I dilute with water.

    I have been drinking regular coke for more years than I can remember. I am trying to limit it to 1 or 2 a week instead of 3 or 4 cans a day. I am surprised my teeth haven't rotted out of my head as much as I drink. I have just started adding fresh berries and citrus slices and maybe some fresh herbs like mint or rosemary if I have some to my water. I make up 3- 1 quart mason jars every 2 days with herbs and fruit and place in the fridge. I make each jar different. There are a ton of recipes on the internet and magazines. Hopefully I will start drinking more.

    I drink a glass of orange juice every morning, to take with my iron supplement.(I'm anemic) I also enjoy a cup or two of tea with lemon and honey and also during the winter months I enjoy a cup of hot cocoa.

    Try keeping wedges of lemon and lime in the fridge. Water used to upset my stomach but not if I had a squeeze of lemon or lime in it. I also sometime get a refillable drinking bottle, fill it with ice, add about 2 oz of 100% juice (I prefer cranberry or cran-rasp) and then fill the rest with water. I continue to drink it until the ice melts as it has a bit of the fruity flavor but isn't so overwhelmingly sweet or strong.

    Happy sipping!

    Iced unsweetened tea, coffee, tea from teavana (i love it!)

    I would put natural fruits in water - it's really yummy and tasty. Lemon, raspberries, strawberries, anything!! :)

    Crystal Lite, Kroger brand Crystal Lite type drink mix, green tea and orange juice every now and then. Sometimes I drink the green tea straight and other times I use three tea bags and put one sweet in low in the tea pot.
