    It's VITAL! If you really can't bring yourself to drink plain water, spice it up w/ some Crystal Lite or lemon juice. It's mind over matter, and the more you drink, the better!

    its very important. I cant drink it unless I put crystal like in it. One packet is usually too sweet for me, so I divide it into either 2-3 bottles of water. Just enough to give it some flavor. But yes, its very important to drink your water.

    I think it's a matter of how badly you want something. You NEED to have at LEAST 8 glasses a day. It really helps shed those pounds and it cleans out your entire system. I go by a rule of thumb: If my pee isn't clear, I haven't drank enough water. Chug it down! It may help to get a huge nalgene bottle to carry around with you.

    Good luck!

    If you don't drink enough water you don't have a source to flush your body of toxins, fat, etc. Here is a little info on water too: http://www.metromint.com/products/faq/water.html

    *Have you tried Metromint water? My favorite is the chocolate mint flavor. It is all natural so it doesn't have aspartame or any other sugar substitute. It also leaves you with fresh, minty breath.

    Here is the website for more information and where to find it! http://www.metromint.com/

    P.S. Also, herbal tea would be another good source. You could count every cup of herbal tea as water. Celestial Seasonings, Lipton, Tazo, whichever you prefer . . .

    My trainer said the rule of thumb is, "half your weight... but in ounces." So, I weigh 195 lbs (but not for long!), so I should be drinking nearly 100 oz a day, or 12 glasses of water.

    fat leaves your body through your urine so its best to drink lots of water
