This is my all-time favorite article about water. It tells you WHY you need water, how much water, and how having that water will HELP you lose weight. This always re-motivates me to become a water addict.

Wow interesting. When I got pregnant I was doing pretty good, then with the m/c I stopped eating/drinking right. Now I have been drinking junk, but I shall get back on the water!

The only thing I drink is water or sometimes herbel tea w/o caffine. I don't even buy anything else to keep in the house. I still some how manage to only drink 4-6 glasses per day.

I think any non-caloric caffinne free beverage can count as up to 'half' of your waters. So like decaf coffee can count, or crystal light. I recently got a slammin' deal on propel... I adore the bottles for washing & refilling and I got a 12 pack for 5 bucks, which is a super score if you can compare them to gas station prices of $1.99 per bottle!

I think Propel is just water-- esp when I buy cheap bottled WATER and put the propel flavor packets in it... No?

Propel has 10 calories per serving. (8 fl oz) so I would still count it, but not as more than half of your water intake, really.

Thats OK. If I keep water super cold I can chug it. I dislike water.

I'm the opposite... I can drink water faster if it's not cold. I guess I have sensitive teeth.
