I'm having a really hard time drinking to 8 glasses of water a day. If its hot outside and I'm wokring outside, no problem. But to drink water inside when its cold outside sucks. Anyone with any suggestions to make it taste better? PS I don't like lemon and water.

    I like crystal light! The strawberry is my favorite :) I agree- it's hard to drink ice cold water when it's ice cold outside! BLAH!

    I kind of had a hard time too and do not like lemon in water either. If you like cucumber, this is really yummy! Cut up a cucumber in a pitcher of ice water. ALSO (and this is my favorite) I add maybe 1/4 cup of a really strong juice, like white grape juice, to my water and it makes it very drinkable. You have to add the cals though!

    I drink from a 24-oz sports bottle. Whether I really feel like it or not, I work my way through it, one bottleful at a time. I find that it's easier just to have (a little less than) 3 "containers" than 8, even if I am just playing a trick on myself. :-)

    I add Diet Cordial. I don't know if you have bickfords Diet Lime over there but it is delicious. I only make it weak though as i don't like strong cordial.

    It's not about liking it - it's about drinking it. When I first started I found the only thing that worked for me was having a 1L water bottle sitting in front of me all day. i would make sure I drank one full litre by lunch and one more before I left work for the day.

    you could always do hot tea on cold days :) Once you get used to drinking the amount of water you need, you will start to crave it. I even feel like my skin is parched on days I slack on my water intake lol. You can flavor your water, drink tea or coffee... keep in mind anything you drink has some water in it. Oh, you might try limes, I'm allergic to lemons, and occasionally use limes. Lipton tea togo I have noticed is cal free.

    This is what I do. And I also don't have the water ice cold.

    I like the 4C drink mixers. Crystal Light is good too. They are all pretty much 0-5 cals a serving and often have vitamin C in them. Good luck and drink up! :)

    I started drinking green tea... Bought a nice little pot and some loose leaf tea ( black for the morning, and green later in the day)

    Me and hubby sit at the table together and sip tea.........I'm actually enjoying it, and getting a lot more liquids than ever before.

    I was a big coffee drinker, but I added ( 1%) milk to that, so I prefer the tea, it's good without adding anything, and it's healthy!

    I'm finally getting my 8 cups of water a day!!

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I love tea and I haven't seen the Crystal Lite Strawberry/Banana but I'm going to look for it. Everyone have a great evening.

    I keep a glass at the sink. I have filtered water there. But its easy access. Try to make it easy for you to access.

    I fill up my 12 oz water bottle every morning and have it sitting on the counter so that I see it and every time I walk into the kitchen through out the day I drink from it. I have even gotten so that when I sit down in the living room in the evening I have my bottle of water handy. Once in a while I will add a Liption green tea on the go packet or white tea they have quite a few different flavors and all are zero calories. I also make up the green tea as iced tea and put that in my water bottle sometimes.

    I bought a pair of 20 oz bottles and just keep one in the fridge and one with me, and switch when the one I have goes warm. I'm not a huge water person (I can't stand it warm!), but I end up absent-mindedly drinking 6-8 glasses. :)
    I don't like lemon in my water either, and crystal light tastes acidic to me. However, I picked up some Nestea singles in field berry and they're quite good. I use it as a reward... two bottles plain water, and I get a bottle of flavoured water. (and they're green tea yum)

    Herbal Teas are something I really enjoy, and I try to drink plenty because I get tired of water quickly.

    I take a jug of water that holds 64 ounces.....I normally only drink about half of it during the work day (I teach and don't get potty breaks)! I don't keep it in the fridge, it freezes my throat, so I fill it up in the morning, and it stays cool the rest of the day....I've never been a fan of ice cold water!

    Crystal light is good too, but it has calories.....
