    Propel on the go packets, crystal light packets, Lipton on the go packets, juice, milk. I would drink diet soda but I'm allergic to the sweetener they use in most diet sodas.

    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.

    Yogi Egyptian licorice is a favorite of mine.

    The "only fat people drink diet coke" comment is kind of stupid though.

    Tea, usually. Some almond milk, and I have the very, very occasional Diet Coke. If I'm going out, I'm on Guinness, spiced Captain and Coke, or some manner of whiskey and Coke.

    If at all possible avoid the aspartame. Water with lemon, find a herbal tea you enjoy and drink cool. If you need the sweet add a bit of stevia- it is a plant source of sugar.:smile:

    great value brand has cherry lime flavor packets that are like crystal lite i guess, at only 5 cals a serving - but if you're into the cherry limeaide slushy from Sonic - that's a good match :)

    I try for mostly water, but will go to Seltzer water for carbonation. Diet Dr. Pepper every now and then and coffee every morning. Green tea and SO Organic coconut milk.
    I add the Dasani water flavors to make regular water taste a little better. They are so good and no calories!!

    Red wine on the weekends.

    I have one cup of black tea in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon I'll have a cup of chai tea but other than that, I mostly just drink water. I'll have iced tea if we go out to eat.

    I drink tons of water...but I also drink low sodium v8 (usually 2-3 5.5oz cans daily), coffee, 1% milk (1-2 8oz glasses daily), whey chocolate protein drink (1-2 servings daily), beer, wine, vodka (mostly on weekends), occasionally a soda (maybe one every couple of weeks).

    seltzer/club soda- i really like the polar brand, particularly the flavored ones. Sometimes I mix it with a little V-Fusion…. But mostly it's just water, coffee and unsweetened tea (hot and iced)

    Milk. I have noticed that on the weeks when I drink more milk, I lose more weight. Not sure why, but it works for me!

    I read something not long ago about the correllation between higher calcium intake and weight loss. Calcium helps! Google for more information if you're interested.

    I have a soda stream, but I dont use the syrups that come with it! I make seltzer with it and add my own flavors (fresh squeezed orange, lime or lemon)

    Tea, water, and sometimes watered juice. Juice is very sweet, so I add water of mineral water to it, in order to reduce the amount of sugar I drink.

    I strongly dislike the after-taste of most sweeteners, so I have learned to like water instead!

    Black coffee. Little appetite suppressant, little bit of energy, and not so great for my already not so white teeth. But life is about tradeoffs.

    I drink water everyday all day, but every other day or so I have a can of Dr. Pepper. Other than that juice once in a great while. I like food too much to drink my calories! :wink:
    I drink a coke every now and then but 99% of the time its water...I too enjoy food to much to waste those cals on a drink :)

    i drink water all day... a couple years ago i stopped drinking sodas and only drank water from lent... because my friends were doing it... and i lost some weight just by doing that and not even trying to lose the weight. so when i decided to start losing weight again, the first thing i did was cut out everything but water... sometimes i drink green tea though.... and ill have a sip out of my boyfriends sodas only if im dying of thirst and theres nothing else around

    I'm just drinking water right now. Cutting out soda, coffee, and beer is HARD, but after 4 days of it I feel so much better more energy, no hangovers! Ha! I think I would drink unsweetened tea, but I'm not a huge tea fan.

    I also don't like plain old water unless I'm really in the mood for it. I need a little flavor so I use crystal light or mio. I just add a little not the full strength so I have a little flavor. I make it by the gallon so instead of using 2 containers of crystal light I use 1 and I usually still water it down in my glass a little more. I keep the mio in my purse for restaurant water or ask them for lime. Water with lime is delicious to me! and I still have an occasional soda, I love Diet Cherry Coke no harm in that! :wink:
