Zandy

Have you tried flavored water or Water Sensations? WS is a packet of sweetened liquid that is clear and you add it to water. One packet is very concentrated so you can probably use a quarter or a half for one bottle of water. They carry them in Target but no all the Targets. I also like the Nestea flavored waters and Lipton Iced Tea citrus, but it does contain caffeine so I only have it periodically.

Why can't we have caffeine? Today i went to the market and i bought the Wylers Pink Lemonade. and tonight i'll try some, i'm eating fruit, like a lil bit of apple, lil bit of water menlon, banana but not everyday, just when i have the urge. thanx for replying! Zandy

hi zandy caffiene will dehydrate you and walmart has a ton of different flavors to add to waters -- apple and cranberry and just a bunch of different flavors -- check them out too good luck and stay away from the stupid soda!!! Roberta

OOOO no wonder!! I'm drinking water crystal light, nothing else, i can't have anything cus everything i see has SUGAR!!! SUCKS. different flavors to add to waters?? what's the name? i'm sorry is it what Sheri said? Well thanx again for replying! Zandy

hi zandy they are all sugar free and they are the wal-mart brand GV -- go down the powdered drink aisle and take a peek at what is down there -- even Kool-Aid comes in sugar free flavors -- and there are a ton of other brands -- i buy the little boxes of different flavors so i can change it up at any time -- instead of making a huge pitcher of something and then getting sick and tired of that flavor -- they are like $1.78 a box of 10 sticks -- and how much does soda cost or you can buy the little tubs of flavoring also -- we keep those sticks in the cars and in my purse and in ross's lunch cooler -- we even joke that we can go out for dinner or lunch at a walmart -- box of sticks and a couple of yogurts or wheat thins and we are all set cheaper than the Outback haha best of luck roberta

Hi Roberta Thanx for the help, i bought the kool-aid sugar free i'm going sunday to the market again before i go back to work. yuck going back to work after being off for 7 weeks. so yea i need to buy a lot more stuff to pack my lunch box. anyway thank you Roberta for your advise! Zandy
