Okay so I only average like 4 water bottles a day...so 67.8 ounces of water. I know that's what I'm supposed to have but on the days when I manage to get more water I tend to feel better and I loose more. :(

How can I get more water in??

when I'm playing 'puter games, i make myself stop & take a drink for every score.

I try to drink a 16 or 20 oz bottle b4 every meal.  I drink another 16oz when i take vits 3x a day.

make a game out of it..

I try to do plain water, but do get tired of it now & then and will go to crystal light or powerade zero or such for a short time.. till plain water starts tasting good again.

another trick is if i want a flavored water, i make myself drink the same amt of plain water first.

previous poster is right, popsicles, jello, broths, etc. also count as fluids.
