James, You gotta turn yourself into "that guy" that luggs a water bottle with you everywhere! I, myself, do better w/flavored water, i.e. a light sprinkling of crystal light (ruby red grapefruit, lemonade and orange are my favs), and I have just discovered Lipton tea to go in these little packets that you dump in your water bottle. They are sugar free and yummy and good for you too. Good luck!

I find it easier to eat crushed ice instead of drinking water. I have a 60 oz cup that I refill 3 times during the day.

I agree, ice works better, you feel of being able to eat and still get the H2o in good luck!

How does water taste? Does it "hurt"? Or is it that you're busy drinking non-water and water is boring?

Thank you for your Help. I wasn't sure if flavored water counted. The water taste bad.

James, I still have trouble getting my water in, and I am a year out! I take my water bottle everywhere, but i throw up if I drink too much too fast. Any liquid counts, as long as it is not full of caffeine. I usually drink Crystal Light. You can get it to make pitchers, or "to go," which you just pour into a water bottle. I still have days when Ido not get enough, but there is only so much I can eat or drink!
