Don't Get Dehydrated, It'll Put on Pounds

Stay hydrated. Why so much water? Your metabolism slows down by 3 percent if you're dehydrated. That small dip can translate into five extra pounds a year if you don't drink enough. If you hate the taste of plain water, throw a slice of fruit in it or try drinking herbal tea.

I put a big dent in my water consumption by drinking at least 1 glass of water with every meal.

The lowest amount is 7 or 7 1/2. For very warm days I find myself drinking 10 + cups.
I drink water about 1 cups before each meal to keep me from misbehaving and gobbling like a turkey.

The Crystal Light definitely counts in my book Fran,
Not so much as the juices although good for you too.
Since I too am a coffee & tea drinker .. have said they count as well
All in all you do quite well :)
