Will it make a difference?

I'm just wondering if I drink a 32 oz bottle of water with a, say 5 calorie sugar free Hawaiian Punch to go single, is it still considered water? I know that you have to drink a lot of water to lose weight, but I fined that I will drink more if it is flavored. I know some people put lemon in their water to flavor it and that helps, but does it make a difference if it is some kind of flavor package? What do you think?

    I'm addicted to the Crystal Light wild strawberry. Unless I've been working outside and am really hot, I can't drink just plain water.

    This always seems to be a question on here so I guess there are some people that don't count that as water but I do :)

    You should count what is water. Then add what ever the Packet is in MFP.
    Its is ok. You don't want to be taking in to much water.

    Agreed. Better to add lemon or fruit flavorings not artificial sweetener, which turns into sugar eventually anyway. There's even these new sparkling water machines you can make your own sparkling waters, which come with natural flavorings. I want to try it.
