HELP...

You could add Mio to your glasses...or even Crush and Kool-Aid make the liquid flavorings. I used to have a hard time chugging it down and those helped it go down a lot easier. Now, I have no issue with plain water. I hope this helps you!

drink a glass first thing in the morning when you wake up. then go about your normal morning routine. not only will it start your water count for the day it is great for your digestive track and gets your body going first thing,.


also measure out a glass. 8oz is not as much as you think

good luck!

Remember that tea, coffee (arguably) and tasty unsweetened sparkling water all count toward your daily count.

If I really stop to count, there's no way I stay below 64 Oz.

Milk in your cereal? A glass of milk? A piece of fruit? A bowl of soup? Iced tea? Coffee? You're most likely getting a lot more fluids than you think.

Hot water with lemon is nice

I have to say I really don't like water either, but I knew I needed to drink at least 6 cups of plain water every day! This isn't too bad when it is hot, and I'm thirsty, but it's winter here now, and sometimes I JUST don't feel like it! I work a desk job, and what I found helped is to get a 1.5L water bottle, and a glass, and have that on my desk right beside me. Everytime I think of it, I drink some (usually a glass at a time chugged down), and then fill the glass up again straight away. That way I know how much I've had, how much I've yet to drink and I don't have to remember how many glasses I've drunk so far! It has now reached the point that my body lets me know when I haven't had enough water that day! It is used to 1.5 and it demands said amount :-) Maybe it's time to increase to 2 litres now... (and move closer to the bathroom of course LOL)

use straws(;

I have chronic issues with not drinking enough water. So I drink tea. And I measure my progress like most people monitor calories.

I make a 6 cup pot of looseleaf tea at my work desk every day and sweeten it with only 1 tbsp of honey. Its enough that is tastes sweet, but it stops me from over-sweetening each cup which would pack in the calories! If I dont finish that tea, it goes into a bottle for me to work on during my bus ride home. Then I aim to have a large cup of water with/after dinner.

On the weekends its a bit of a struggle but I use a large cup that holds 2 cups of liquid. I only have to drink a minimum of 4 during the day so its easy to get a real sense of where I am at.

I count all liquid towards my water goal- even soup. I try to avoid coffee except for my single morning cup. My goal is 3L or more but most days 2 is all I reach.

PS- The straw tip really works! :happy:
