I use the flavored packets you put in the water bottle. Im sure its not as good as straight water, but now that i use those i drink a lot of water. Its the only way i can get any water down lol

Yea, I really suck at drinkin' the right amount of water your supposed too. I mostly drink V8's, milk and juice lol. But I heard that counts for your water Intake 'cuz there's some water In there as well? As well as food too. Could be wrong, I don't remember who I heard that from lol.

My ritual with water is I grab a couple of water bottles and my bowl of fruit and have them together. Everyday, few times a day. :)

I hate water too Dr has had me try buying the frozen juice and putting 2 spoonfulls of it n my cup of water (big cup) just enough for a little taste. He also said koolaid crystal light. I had such a hard time with trying to drink enough they finally told me drink pop tea or what ever I wanted as long as I drank enough each day. U can put sliced fruit in water to. If u drink lot of pop drink caffeine free also the big jugs of juice it all has water on it... :) hope some of that helps

Yeah I'm not really a big fan of water either. I read somewhere that you can put like lemon, cucumber or strawberry slices at the bottom of a pitcher and fill it up with ice and water, it might help make it more appealing :)
