    I usually take a bottle of water with me when out bike riding. I wish I can afford purchasing bottle of water all the time

    Will work really hard to get my 8 glasses in today. I may have to add flavoring to it just for something different.

    One thing I do to add to the water I drink is adding lipton to go packets, it’s a zero everything packet. It helps you not to get bored with drinking plain water all the time it adds a refreshing taste.

    Water is all I drink. It’s an easy way to keep my calorie count down & keep my digestive functioning well.

    It is really hard for me to do this, I crave juices ALL the time. Not so much with sodas, but I love juice, so this will be a big challenge for me.

    right now, im doing this 6 part meal diet… but i recently decided to start drinking a lot of water, close to 3 liters while im at the university… now, i feel that a lot of people in their busy schedules forget to pack their water… well let me tell you a little bit about packing your water… i usually pack my water in my backpack, before i go to sleep… because i always notice that if i dont do that, than i will inevitably forget… so i recommend you get your water up and running for school or work or whatever you all in this forum do, and just be ready for a full day of peeing out toxins from your body!

    With my crazy schedule I’m always forgeting about the most basic things—like drinking enough water. Because I work in the hotel/restaurant business, I have sodas and sugary juices available all the time, making me push water even further aside. BUT, yesterday I bought a case of water and decided to make use of the office fridge. From now on I can hit up the restaurant for a drink only 2 or 3 times a week. Time to rehydrate!

    I don’t like water and find it very difficult to drink it. I would be happy to get some suggestions to help me to change this. I love Diet Coke!

    I’ve never been a soda person, sometimes a juice person. Mostly I’ve always been a coffee, tea, and water junkie. I always feel like my body is happier with water… it moves more fluidly, and isn’t bogged down by the toxins in most of today’s popular drinks.

    I only drink water and hot tea, recently I started drinking diet iced green tea. I don’t like the high refined sugars in soda or juices. I also enjoy the little packets that a few mentioned previously.

    I only drink water, and have recently purchased a 2.2. Liter (8 glasses) jug so I can be certain that I am drinking the right amount. I finish it during the work day, and drink more water at home. If I am craving some sugar, I grab an orange or any fruit. It’s all you really need!

    I have added a water bottle to my desk accessories. Now after finishing my a.m. cup of coffee I fill the large bottle and sip away during the day. It goes to meetings with me too.
