I make a pitcher of Crystal Light every morning in warm weather and fini**** by evening. I also drink diet ginger ale and sometimes Coke Zero. Carbonation does not bother me at all.

A typical day for me is a couple of cups of coffee first thing in the morning, then bottled water or Tetley breakfast blend with splash of milk throughout the day. The occasional Tetley brand Chai tea is my new favourite treat.

Nutrition appt went well. Down 4lbs from last month. I joined the Y on the way home. I have an appointment with the trainer Monday to learn the machines and set goals. Mostly, I plan to swim and join one of the aquatic exercise classes.

Nearly 100% of my water has tea in it. Black tea of all varieties. oolong, lapsang souchon, blends like English Breakfast, Assam, Darjeeling. You name it, if it's a black tea that doesn't taste like fruit, I drink it.

Also, try these:

That's an assortment of orange, lemon, and lime flavor crystals. I just dump one into my water bottle (tea or no tea). No sugar, no chemicals. Just crystalized orange or lemon or lime.

I drink Bubly and Arrowhead Black Cherry or Lime sparkling water occasionally.

What other liquids are you drinking besides water? Need some zero cal ideas for liquids. I have a major problem with drinking my calories.

Does your potassium drink have a nutrition label? Even when we take medicine there can be side effects. In your case, maybe there are a lot of calories or high sugar content in the potassium drink. Calories from liquids can be just as high as calories from solids.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. No weight requirement other than I can't be any heavier on the last 6 month nutritionist appt than I was at the first one. But they do like to see effort towards the goals. My next one is at 9am tomorrow, my 3rd, so it's flying by. I think I'll be down a few from last month.
