OMG I’ve never drank this much water in a week, I think I may drown. Having a ball reading all your comments and suggestions. thank you folks for caring.

If any of you hate drinking all the water, what I do is boil the kettle, throw a flavoured herbal tea bag and a pack of Stevia and pour it into a large waterbottle and drink it that way. If you drink 2 or those a day, there is your water!!! I actually enjoy it as it gives it taste. If it gets cold then heat it up!!
Enjoy!!!

Thanks for the tip. I’m getting tired of plain water. This just might do the trick.

I have NEVER drank this much water either! Wow….it seems like an awful lot to digest doesn’t it? I am drinking four 16oz bottles of water a day, a glass of green tea with every meal plus the hot water in the morning with the lemon. Not to sound inappropiate here, but I have to say that I find myself going to the bathroom for what seems like every 5 to 10 minutes….I used to drink nothing but soda, I was drinking close to 2 liters of Coca-Cola a day with no water at all…I have gone 3 weeks without a soda now and I am so proud of myself. I am also tempted to flavor my water somehow as well, but from reading the book I was under the impression that we’re only supposed to drink “pure” water. Do you know if it’s okay to add flavoring to our water? If so, there is a wonderful new product out called “Mio Liquid Water Enhancer”, you can get it all sorts of flavors & you squirt some in the water & it dissolves perfectly!

gilletta..i hear you on drinking the pop…i was drinking ginger ale and tonic water by the 2 litre…my boyfriend would bring it home and i would chug away…no wonder i was always puffed…i use to drink the tonic water to help with leg cramps at night and thigh cramps…but since the diet…i have only had leg cramps once and i did drink the tonic water…but since drinking just water and 8 glasses plus the lemon water and green tea…well no chance of leg cramps…

i was going pee so often, that it was a work out on its own…lol…it does get easier…

Lorie, it’s nice to hear that I’m not the only one who had a liquid addiction, LOL. It’s been really rough, there have been many times where I wanted a Coke but haven’t given in to the craving…this is my 7th day now and still only water & green tea, I have aded Mio Liquid Enhancer Fruit Punch flavor to 2 of my waters (it tastes ike Hawaiin Punch) with zero sugar and calories and zero carbs, I love it!!

I finally got used to all the water and am not making all the bathroom stops like I did before thankfully! It was pretty frequent at first, so much so that I was scared to leave the house, LOL
