Its hard to get all the water in...but you can count your coffee or other drinks as well...or you can on WW...:O) 

Hey. Got this in my inbox. Have you thought about setting an alarm to remind you to eat (or start thinking about it). Have a simple note on your phone asking you: are you hungry? Just a thought. 

The funny thing is that I do have an alarm on my phone that goes off every hour but I have sort of become numb to it. I hardly even register in my mind that it went off anymore. But the more I commit to achieving my water intake goal, the more that little alarm seems to make me take notice. I guess it takes both the drive to succeed and the tools of the trade to make a difference. 

Erin, I got a Tervis water bottle. I've had many bottles in the past, but never kept using them. The Tervis is 24 oz. I don't know why it works, but I'm filling and emptying it 4-5 times a day with no problem and not forgetting to drink, as I used to. I think it may be because Tervis plastic has NO flavor. So many of the other bottles I got tasted like metal or plastic. Also, the lid is easy to drink from and really easy to carry around. Right now, shipping is free with the word AUTUMN. No, I don't have stock in the company. LOL! 

I have been scouring the internet for a good water bottle. Thanks for the tip! 

Tervis guarantees their bottles and cups for life, they're made in America and you can buy accessories. The lids aren't guaranteed, but you can buy replacements if you drop and break them. They can also be completely personalized with a photo or name. I've been thinking a "before" photo might keep me on my toes! Heehee.
