Water, water, everywhere ...

      One tip that has helped me lose weight in the past is to drink a lot of water. Weight Watchers recommends drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. I found that to be a lot of water and had to slowly get used to drinking that amount. But I did, and it helped me. When I drink a lot of water, I lose weight. It's as simple as that. It might just be the exercise of running to the bathroom more! But it works.
      I take a 64-ounce bottle of water with me to work each day. That makes it easy for me to know that I'm drinking enough water. Give it a try. It might help you reach your weight loss goal.

I've had to work up my water amounts, too. One thing that helps me is that I buy some flavored water. The kind I particularlly like is called AquaCal. The grape and strawberry are great, and really satisfy my sweet tooth (I used to be able to go through a pitcher of koolaid in an evening). I feel like it's a treat!

I'll have to look for that. I've tried flavored water, but the brands I tried had a weird aftertaste that I didn't like.

This is one area where I have the most trouble. I'm with Jaime, I like flavor in my beverage, I'm not a big fan of just water.

I'm going to look for that AquaCal, too. I need to do something!

I like water, myself. I keep a 24 ounce bottle in my fridge at all times. It is a good way for me to measure. I drink one in the AM before work and one before bed. I also have a bottle I keep at work and drink about 2 of those a day. Or, I at least try. I usually get my water in one way or another.

I don't think i could give up coffee though. Or, my diet Dr Pepper. I don't drink much of them, about 1 cup of coffee a day and about a glass of Diet DP every other day or so.
