Hello, I'm new and I'm looking to take charge of my life and eating habits. A hard goal for my will be to add water to my diet, but I'm really looking forward to losing the weight and reclaiming myself.

    Welcome!

    Water will become one of the easiest parts of your life style change, I'm sure. It's just all about forming new habits. First thing I did was purchase a water bottle that is durable (i drop EVERYTHING) and Bright (can't forget to grab the hot-orange 32oz bottle!!).

    I thought that adding water to my diet was going to be really tough. I was never a big water drinker. What helped me was keeping a 20oz. plastic bottle with me all the time. I knew that I had to refill it at least four times throughout the day. It was kind of weird at first, but now I will have downed four bottles before I leave work at 4:30 without even thinking about it and probably consume another two before my head hits the pillow. The hardest part for me was having to get up and go to the bathroom every 30min. :laugh: It's not like that now though. You can do it! You'll get used to it and before you know it, your body will be craving it.

    That is the hardest thing for me also. I try to keep a water bottle on my desk, and then I don't allow my self to drink anything else unless I drink that first.
