I'm new here and just started on my change of eating for life. I too have a hard time drinking all that water I need so what I did was buy one of those big bottles of lemon juice at Wallies and put about 2 tablespoons of it in a glass of water and add some splenda and it tastes so good and because it tastes so good I drink lots of it throughout the day! <smiling> Or you could just make up a big pitcher of "sugarless lemonade" which is most likely the best thing to do.

It was certainly better than drinking sugar-filled sodas though. When I switched from soda to Crystal light that alone lost me about 50lbs (from 350lbs down to around 300).
The dessert comment is so true too. After a long walk or some exercise water is better than champagne.

I had a similar experience.
Weighing daily and experimenting...I discovered that drinking diet sodas either kept my weight the same or even put a little weight on me.
Drinking water and reducing calories takes the weight off. If I eat the same number of calories, but drink diet soda...I either stay the same or add a little weight.
I drink mostly water, a little coffe and a little tea with one packet of Truvia. This seems to have helped. No more diet soda at all.
