I used to LOATHE water... couldn't drink it to save my life.... even bottled designer waters.  My son bought me a Britta water filter and I LOVE IT! The water tastes so cold and fresh like something out of a lovely spring.

I used to use a Brita filter...used it for years and LOVED it!   Last year we bought a fancy new fridge when we re-did our kitchen and it has a changable filter.....a good filter makes a HUGE difference!

Whenever I make tea, lemonade, etc....the water comes straight from the dispenser in the fridge!

Wish I'd had a filter when I was newly post op. Our water is full of chemicals and I went totally with diet cranberry juice diluted with the awful water. At restaurants, I get ice water with a wedge of lime and sweeten with Splenda. Fresh filtered water is so good and the way to go though.

I'm not a big water drinker.  But I agree, the Brita water is awesome!!!!  My aunt has one and the glass of water you get from it...MMmmm!!

I like my water ICE cold though when I drink it!!!  I used to (at work), get a cup of water from the water cooler and suck the whole cup down!!  Then refill and drink normal.  Can't do that now and it sucks! 

We were on a cruise in Nov, they served Lemon-Lime water.....that was really good too!!!

There are never any problems, only solutions.  quoted by a dear and special friend!!!

What cruise line and ship were you guys on? Maybe we could find out what they served. Tasty water options are so rare that it's worth trying to find out.

My all time favorite source for water actually comes from the Scotsman Icemaker--- the one that makes the small airated nuggets that are commonly served in diners with soft drinks. I have been wanting one for my home since I first discovered it in the hospital 25 years ago when I was in labor with my firstborn! ( It's the ice in the little white paper cups they give patients to chew on.)  I have loved it ever since!  I still have it on my "someday" list.

Before surgery, I hated water!!!  We have always used a Britta pitcher.  These days I long to drink it.  I am hoping my tiny tummy will tolerate it soon.

 

To those ladies who like lemon-lime water.  I do enjoy adding True lemon and lime packets to my water.  I used to use these a few years ago when I did WW.  Now I have rediscovered them.

Brilynn, thanks so much for this great tip! I was curious and looked it up online.  It sounds great and a nice alternative to Crystal-lite and other flavor enhancers.  Here are links where you can get free samples, order on line or find a store that carries it near you.
