Hey everyone,

Do you guys only drink water or do you drink other things? I have only been drinking water for the past few days and think it has helped a lot. I used to drink a good amount of crystal light so that I can get some water in, but now...i'm kind of getting used to the taste (or no taste lol) of water. Just wanted to know what other people drink?

    I drink plain water, water with Propel, hot tea (no sweeteners), or diet pepsi.

    I drink water, unsweetened iced tea, hot tea, and sometimes allow myself to have some Honest Tea (I did last night), I will also add a powder to my water at times.

    I haven't had regular pop in 3 weeks tomorrow, and no diet in about a week and a half (I'm not a big fan of it anyway, so that wasn't a hard thing to cut out).

    I drink plain water mostly. Very seldom I will use a wyler's lemonade mix. Occasionally I will drink a glass of OJ or a Naked. I just gotta make sure I get in at least 10 to 12 glasses of water a day.

    I only drink water (or I save up my calories for wine) and I don't keep anything like cokes, etc in the house. You just get used to it. If you get bored with water, put in lime or lemon then you'll really have to go to the bathroom. ;)

    Only water for me! I've always liked water and it hasn't been a big issue for me. I guess I do drink herbal tea but I don't use any sweeteners. Peppermint tea helps when I'm having a craving. I always notice on the days I drink more water that I feel better, have more energy, and seem to do well on the scale the next morning.

    Three cheers for water!

    Water is pretty much all I drink (I'm up to 10-12 cups/day), but that started before I joined MFP. My friends know to bring or remind me to buy some juice or something if they're coming over...lol. Over the years, I've just gradually decreased the amount of non-water liquid I take in. The only exception for me is flavored, hot tea, which I drink large amounts of during certain times of the year. I tried the crystal light & similar drink mixes, but don't care for the taste of them. Give me plain ole H2O any day!

    Way to go! I am on day 10 of strictly water and I can definitely tell a big difference, especially in my energy levels. Im not really big on sodas but Im from Texas so I love my sweet tea! It is getting easier with each day to "water fast". I am hoping it gets me to my weight loss goal a lot faster!

    I mostly drink water, but when I want some flavor or something sweet I add the Special K20 water packets. It is 30 calories, but they are better tasting that crystal light, and you get 5 g of protein and 5 g of fiber. So it is more like a small snack than empty calories.

    On the whole, I drink water. Occasionally I'll drink a glass of milk or a soda. But it's always water when I go to a restaurant and I never get soda when I get fast food. I always just thought that I would rather eat than drink my calories.

    I have to have my Cafe Mocha K-Cup in the morning (60 calories). I drink a lot of water during the day with Crystal Light packets in them. I usually have a diet soda during the day at some point.

    I only drink water and milk. I never used to drink as much water as I do now, but I am definitely noticing some changes, mainly changes in the way I feel!

    I drink plain water, hot tea, coffe (gotta have it!), V8 Juice (Low Sodium is the best! It has a quarter of the sodium regular V8 Juice has!! 480 vs 116!! yikes! plus it's a good hunger curber - a lil snack!!), diet soda (if ANY!?), or 100% juice/no sugars added (like Juicy Juice - love it!)

    I usually have a coffee in the morning, sometimes a glass of orange juice. Most of the time I just drink water, I've cut off my soda intake. When I want flavor sometimes I will use a crystal light packet but I try to keep them to a minimal. Every now and again I'll use some calories on a glass of wine also. :drinker:

    I have a water bottle that hold 1.5L, and I drink 2 of those per day, But I have been pushin' for 3 of them a day since Wednesday. I also drink hot green tea after each of my meals...I usually don't count those in my daily water intake for the numbers on mfp. Do what feels right to you...have fun while doin' it :) xo
