    Welcome to the community! I'm not very creative in the kitchen and have found the meal planning service cooksmarts.com to be very helpful in this regard. I also learned to enjoy club soda (with lemon, lime, etc.) in place of soft drinks. I also bought a portable infuser which adds a little flavor to my water on the go. You can pick one up at walmart for 7 or 8 bucks.

    I add a few drops of essential oils to my water, like grapefruit, or lemon, or lime. It gives it a great refreshing kick. It helps me drink a lot more water that way.

    I'm new too! For me I like cold ice water. The trick for me is once I drink a glass or two I actually get more thirsty and want more. Weird but true! :)

    Hiya :smile: When I gave up soda a few years ago, I started drinking plain soda water...I absolutely love it. Be sure to buy the kind that doesn't have any kind of sweetener at all in it.

    I like lemon or lime water. I buy a bunch of limes and lemons, juice them, put the juice in an ice cube tray and freeze. I put one or two cubes in my water or tea at a time. It's wonderfully refreshing.
