    I totally agree with the LEMON idea! I squeeze 2 wedges of lemon into a big water cup (w/ straw) and refill it all day long at work. I also work at a desk mostly and just keep sipping it all day long. The tartness of the lemon helps me drink more -- instead of just plain stale water! Hope this helps!

    Do you smoke??? I hated drinking water when I was a smoker, but now that I have stopped, I can drink it fine :)

    Lots of good ideas here. I used to do half Propel flavored water and half tap or filtered water until I realized I liked plain water just fine (I used to drink a lot of soda and was used to the sweetness so at first I didn't care for just drinking water) I use a 24 ounce Camelbak BPA-free bottle with a "bite valve" straw--I don't like super cold water as it gives me headaches sometimes, so I just keep refilling my bottle a couple times a day. It gives me a good reason to get up from my desk and stretch ;)

    I don't know that the "8 glasses a day" is something everyone needs to do, there seems to be lots of debate about what is "right," but I do think water has lots of benefits...when I don't drink at least 56 to 64 ounces a day, I find that I don't feel as good and my skin is affected...it also really helps keep me hydrated for long runs.

    Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, if you keep it up, you will find that you truly will begin to crave it. Now I can't drink enough. I agree with the poster who said that if she doesn't get 64 oz. a day she notices. I've had up to 120 oz. in a day and that is when I feel the best ... fuller, skin looks better, etc. Keep it up! :)

    How about buy a mini fridge for your office. There also get fridges like this: Not saying you should stock it with soda even though the pics have them. haha

    Using a straw is so strange, but yet it makes me drink more too - even when I'm not thirsty but I know I need to drink more!

    My friend encouraged me to freeze little pieces of lemon and lime, then add those to my water glasses throughout the day - that really made a difference. Otherwise a splash of fresh juice works too.

    I bought a 1ltr water flask a while back (aluminimum by Earthlust) and I find that if I fill that up from the water cooler it keeps the water at my desk cold all morning. By lunchtime I actually have to refill it! I could barely drink water at one point and I now I get through 2ltrs a day without even trying!

    look at it as literally a weight loss helper. when you dont want to drink anymore, just stare at it and realize that the next glass will help you reach your goal. its tasteless, there is nothing to water. realize that and just suck it down as fast as you can.
