    Ha! People don't believe me when I say I don't like it, horrible stuff!
    Carbonated water? chilled down, I quite like that. Especially with just a splash of juice.

    I was going to suggest sparkling water too. You can add lemon or lime very refreshing. You can also buy flavored sparkling water too. I have tried grapefruit, mango, lime. I have seen berry and apple too. You can add herbs to water too, Add mint and lime it is almost like a mojito flavor. Strawberry and basil is good too.

    Try adding some orange slices! Any fruits are good...but you should let it sit in a jar overnight to soak up the juices and flavor! Or perhaps blend up a juice smoothie but use mostly water and only fresh fruit!

    Drink something else? You don't have to drink water if you don't like it.

    I hate water, even bottled water. Ozarka I can kinda stand when it's cold, but even then I can still taste the minerals they use in it. So I don't bother. I end up drinking a lot of unsweet tea. With Equal so OMGEVILSWEETNER, but I'm a Southerner, we need our iced tea sweet! XD Another thing I've found is Crush makes one of the powder additives in orange, which is pretty good. I don't get any of the bitter aftertaste so many of those have. Propel Zero makes a citrus punch that's hard to find around here but tastes like liquid Sweet Tarts!

    Really, any water-based drink will count towards your daily needs for water. It's what ELSE is in there you have to watch out for; drinking a soda will count towards your water, but adds on a ton of sugar and acid!

    I like to drink this... calorie free:

    And the occasional diet soda.

    Otherwise I just "trained" myself to drink water.
    I hate the taste of water too...but I make myself drink at least 6 cups a day, sometimes I can get to 8 or slightly more but 6 seems to be my number.

    I like water and drink it all day long, but I can't eat dinner with just plain water, so I buy flavored sparkling waters that are calorie free. There are about a million flavors, so it's hard to get bored of them. Sparkling ICE and Glaceau FruitWater both have really good flavors. Then there's things like Powerade Zero. These things count toward your fluid/water intake, as does coffee and tea. Just not things like soda or alcohol.

    it'll get easier to just drink water after a while.

    and by easier I mean it still sucks. but...lol.

    I still get tired of it.

    I didn't realize so many people don't like water. I, on the other hand, can't get enough of it.

    Def add some cut up fresh fruits to it, helps a lot. You might like flavored seltzer water if you need carbonation. I personally LOVE water :#

    A lot of those people may not like water because they can taste the minerals. Water always tastes slightly bitter and metallic to me, no matter the source. Some worse than others (I'm looking at you, Mesquite, TX!!).

    I don't like it because it tastes like "nothing"... basically the best way I can describe it. I need some flavor.

    I actually like the Mios and the Great Value flavor enhancers that have no added sugar :)

    I dont drink plain tap water or bottled water at all. I guess I havent been going along long enough to really make a judgment call about whether or not it will impact my weightloss (5 weeks). I do drink mineral water (which is essentially fizzy tap water) with lemon squirty stuff you get in a bottle (lemons are really expensive here at the moment). I drink diet coke from time to time. Diet cordial. I also make iced tea, cold brewed, no sugar (sometimes a spoon of raw sugar) over ice. I love this website for tea and other drink recipes http://addapinch.com/

    I drink black coffee, water with mio, tea with splenda, diet sodas, iced lattes and occasionally some diet hot chocolate or some cashew milk. I only really drink plain water when I work out
