    Water = Water.

    Water does not = water + Crystal Light or any other sorts of additives.

    Here comes my special dose of Water Tough Love: it's just water. Ice it down or heat it up, figure out how you like it the best, but just drink it already!

        I agree with killerbombshell, 100%. You have to drink water, and only water up till your daily amount. You CAN have some other stuff, but it should be considered a "treat", not hydration and not a regular thing. I VERY rarely have carbonated water flavored with Torani or DaVinci sugar-free syrups, they're really good and I can make any flavor "soda" I want that way.

        We're rooting for you, hang in there, let your body adjust to the HEALTHY and IMPORTANT water that you're giving it, and eventually you will have absolutely no craving or desire for the other stuff. I know it sounds crazy, but it's VERY true. I was addicted, literally, to Mountain Dew. I had probably 12 cans of it a day, sometimes more. If I can do it, anyone can.

        Keep us updated!

              Drinking water and liking it can take time for some people .. but if you commit to drinking it for a week, I think you'll discover that after 7 days, its not so bad! That's how it was for me!!

                  That sums it up completely for me. I now have l cup of tea in the morning and l cup of decaf coffee in the evening, but all day long its water, water, water.

                      Yes, it is fine as long as it is on top of your water quota, it cannot be counted in it. Remember to count the splenda as l of your sweetners.

                        Yep, A-OK, and yummy, too! But like someone already said, that has to be in addition to your daily water, not part of it.

                        I don't feel like someone who can lecture today, I only got in 64 fl. oz. of water yesterday, and I can really tell I feel different today.

                          I am no pro by any means but if you can find a way to do a little bit of cardio or some form of heart raising exercise you will be clawing your way to the water bottle all day.
