Now I know the first thing to do when you are trying to lose weight it STOP drinking soda and such.....then cut calories and so on.
But what if you NEVER drink soda, juice, kool aid, nothing. Only water (however not enough water).
Has anyone been in my shoes before? I really to be honest don't drink enough of anything.
I am NOT a candy crazy and don't eat sweets either. So cutting those out was easy.
Wishing this could be easier. LOL

Some people drink diet sodas with 0 calories instead of dropping soda completely. The only negative is that studies have shown that the sweeteners used in diet Sodas can actually make you crave sweets even more than normal! Also, you can buy flavored bottled water, or get these little 5 calorie crystal lite packets that sweeten water if it helps.

I was thinking that too. Crystal Light. I just need to drink more water in general. It is just weird that I have so much energy and am so bubbly without having ANY caffeine each day. I mean I don't drink anything. LOL

LOL | maybe try decaf coffee since you do not need caffeine anyway? someone on here posted something about good tasting flavored water, so you may want to search for that.

Reading this reminded me. I haven't had any water since this morning and it's 4pm. Guess I'll go drink some water. I haven't seen anyone on this web site today. Is there anyone out there?

I threw away my old weighing scale.
I replaced it with a new one that measures 2 things that are FAR MORE important than pounds or kilos:
1. body fat% - I keep this at 15% or less
2. hydration - the goal is at least 65% or more
These new scales are inexpensive...like $30-$40 at walmart. | |
