Have you tried adding lemon to your water? I have a big water jug I use at work and I quarter a lemon, squeeze the juice out of two of the quarters and put the lemon quarters in the cup too. This has helped me tremendously with drinking more water.

Definitely eat only until you are not hungry anymore. This can be tricky because it takes sometimes 10 minutes for a hormone to be released by your hypothalamus gland to signal that you are done.

If you have not shifted your calorie count down yet, you need to do so. As you lose weight you daily caloric needs decrease, so you will "hit a wall" as some point during your weight loss if you don't decrease your calorie intake.
