Let's talk about Water....

[Jiminy102]

So we all know hat water is an important part of this being healthy goal of ours!!! So how do you like your water!! WIth ice or without , plain with lemon.....

I like my water with a slice of lemon and ice!!!! I drink at least 96 ounces of it a day now!!! And I hated water at one time!!! I also heard it is really good if you put a drop of vanilla extract in it but I have not tried it!!

Plain ice water for me please!

One thing I never do is drink water with my meals. YUCK! Blech! Pooie! Cack! I do drink a glass, standing over the sink before I eat, and usually after I eat, and after I use the ladies room (strange habit, I know, but it works for me). With my meals, I like Milk, Iced Tea, Wine. Oh. I also drink a lot of it when I workout.

Keep the Faith!

I have to drink my water room temperature. Isn't that weird! Any other drink (cocktail, iced tea, lemonade, pop) has to be cold with ice, but I can't drink water that way!

I try to drink 4-5 bottles of water per day while I'm sitting at work. I start my day with a glass in front of the kitchen sink while taking my vitamins. In the evenings, I usually drink something else.

I like my water very cold from the fridge (Brita pitcher or bottled water), but no ice.

Lately, I have been pouring myself a large glass of San Pelegrino sparkling water and adding a lime to have with my dinner. It goes nicely with the glass of wine I allow points for.

Same here!

Thanks for the reminder about drinking water. That's always been one of the hardest parts about healthy dieting for me. I really have to force myself.

I really need to drink more water! I try and try and never seem to get the total in! I am improving though. I like ice water with a lime wedge and a little lime zest in it. I also really love lime Perrier, as it gives me some fizz and I am trying hard to knock the diet soda habit.

I think it depends on the plan but WW recommends 48-64 oz/day.

Ok good.. I've been drinking almost over 100 oz a day!!!! My bladder is feeling it too!!!

 

[PAdisMOM]

I also cannot drink cold water.

I am a teacher and I drink so much water during the day that I have to leave in the middle of every class to go to the restroom. I also go in between every class. This has really been a problem for me.

I don't want to drink less water, but I really worry about leaving 20 teenagers in a room every day while I pee. Any suggestions?? I've even considered Poise.

I read somewhere recently that the whole water drinking thing while on a weight loss program is not as important as they once thought.

Also, I was told years ago that if you DO drink a lot of water while on a weight loss program, it should be very cold, as the colder it is, the harder your body works to absorb it and it speeds up your metabolism...

 

[ohMom]

is served to me (by me) in a large (12 oz) freezable mug - you know the kind you keep in the freezer and the liquid in the walls of the mug freeze and keep the drink cold.

I take a water bottle with me in the car everywhere too. Sometimes this is a problem though..................

I'm thinking of keeping some fruit on hand to add to it. I was at a restaraunt once that had lemons, oranges, and strawberries in their water and it was yummy!

I also drink a glass everytime I visit my potty - even during the night!

I actually like water and get thirsty for water! My kids have picked up this habit too! yea for us!

 

[Luvinit]

I purchased a water cooler...but I like my H2O room temp..so I just fill up some 16oz bottles and leave them out...but my kids have started drinking more water..so the cooler has been worth it!!

[Spirit Feather]

Me too Tracy!!! Also, I like my water at room temperature and NEVER EVER EVER NEVER in the mornings. I get nauseus when I see or think about drinking water that early. Now soda that early is another thing altogether!!!!

Nice Thread!

I drink bottled water - 16.9 ounces each and they have to be COLD! Well, at least when I start them. After I get my water in for the day, then I can move on to my diet sodas. My entire family likes drinking water. Having a sport bottle top on the bottle definitely makes it go down quicker too!

Glub, Glub, Glub! Drink up everyone!

 

[nativetxn]

I try to drink a minimum of 4-24 ounce bottles of water everyday. I probably should drink more than that, though.
