I was always told that it HAS to be water..maybe some will disagree. Have you tried
maybe putting a twist of lemon, lime or orange into it? That may help some people.
When I get tired of water, I just tell myself that I cannot eat until a drink 1 more
glass. Wish I had some better ideas for you!

My dr. told me that tea counts, just it adds calories so be careful with it. If you can handle sweetening it will splenda that will help some.
I count my tea these days cuz I too can't stand drinking thta much water everyday. Most do the water cuz it is calorie free.

I use Crystal Light in my water bottles a couple of times a day. Its sugar free and has only 10 calories. And for me, its a "treat" so I don't end up drinking soda, or the kool-aid my husband makes! But it has been working for me! Good luck! You can do it!!!!

according to WW- you need to drink 64 oz ( 8 glasses)a day and 3 of the 8 can be crystal lite, decaf black coffee or decaf tea (no milk added) as long as the coffee and tea have nothing more than sweetner added it can count.
why not put a glass of water on a counter or desk, every half hour take a couple sips. also take a sip after each trip to the bathroom. you will get it in as long as you work on it.
