I've been trying to drink more water, but it gets old so occasionally I've been adding crystal light sugar free packets to give it a different flavor. I can still log that as water, right? I told you it may be a dumb one, but I'm confused!

    IF THE PACKET HAS CALORIES YOU LOG THAT AS WELL.

    Yes, you can count it as water. Just be aware though, Crystal Light has artificial sweeteners. Take that for what it's worth.

    Learning to drink pure water is the best way. Just for me, if Im gonna do something Im gonna do it right and I have seen the benefits of drinking water, without anything in it. I know it counts to add certain things but I for one got hooked on it and it just does my "mind" good to know I am drinking the "real deal". Just my 2 cents worth, lol!!!

    NOT a huge "pure water" fan but I love the flavored water from Dasani .. lemon, strawberry, raspberry, grape ... so it's not so blan. However be aware of the sodium increase in flavored water. (no calories though)
    The flavored water works for me.

    I too was having a hard time drinking all my water. So ...... I bought myself a rubbermaid sports bottle that has your cups printed right on it. First thing in the morning I cut up a bit slice of lemon, squeeze it into the bottle, add lots of ice and carry that bottle with me EVERYWHERE. Before I know it, I'm filling it back up and even before dinner I'm through. The lemon adds a little difference ..... I even switch it up with lime. Keep up the good work.

    I LOVE lemon or lime in my water!
    I have to drink it REALLY cold or chug it down fast.

    I keep a stash of flavor packets in my desk at school cause somedays... I just need flavor!

    To make sure I drink enough water in a day, we buy bottled water and I open up one in the morning and fill it up throughout the day. Its the only way I can make sure I get my water in. At night, I switch it up and have Pellegrino with a slice of lemon and put it in a wine glass :tongue: Usually at night, I have enough calories left to allow myself a glass of wine!

    I sometimes put slices of cucumber in my water..not so bitter as lemon, but very refreshing. Sounds odd, but it is delicious.
