I started my diet today and am not happy. I miss my soda :( And I hate the fact that I have to drink 14 glasses of water. My dr said you times your weight by .6 and then divide by eight to find out how many glasses of water you should drink to lose weight. i'm going to float away...

Re: Dieting
Keep in mind that produce contains water! What kind of diet are you following? And if you miss your soda, how about having flavored seltzer as a substitute? That counts as water.

Re: Dieting
I drink so much water a day and am running to the bathroom every 30 mins but I just feel so healthy. I promise you will get used to it! Once you switch from soda to water you will see the weight start to melt off. Good luck!!!!!!!!!

Re: Dieting
Try switching it up by assing lemon or lime to your water. Or andding crystal light it will make it easier.

No, it actually doesn't count towards my water intake since i'm trying to lose 45 pounds in the next 15 months my doctor said to use the formula. I am using calorie counter so I am removing all soda from my diet and unhealthy sweets. I'm trying to stay between 1200-1500 calories a day eating healthier with a higher protein diet. WW didn't work for me because I ****** at the points. So I went out a purchased fruits, veggies, lots of salad stuff and leaner meats and such to add to my salads. I even was told that the 100 calorie snacks are not good because they make you hungrier. I love my 100 calorie doritos. Starting next month is hitting the gym once my work schedule gets a little less hectic.

I'm one of those unlucky ones who have a bad reaction to aspertaine and splenda and such. My face breaks out like I'm a 12 year old. But I will try the lime and lemon. Thank you for that advice.

I don't understand though - seltzer is just carbonated water - wouldn't it count as H2O? 100 cal packs are...ehhhhh...IMO. They're okay every once in awhile, but definitely don't fill you up. They're good to throw in your bag if you're going to a movie or something, definitely!

I'll try the seltzer. For some reason I thought seltzer had stuff added to it but I will give it a try.

Re: Dieting
Hang in there - it will get easier. I used to drink Diet Pepsi all the time and stopped about 4 years ago. I drink Perrier mineral water with lemon or lime and it totally satisfies it for me.

Re: Dieting
what about diet soda? i would still drink mostly water or crystal light but having one diet soda a day would give you satisfaction of soda but wouldnt be so bad for you.

Definitely check the labels on the flavored seltzer then. That might be in it. Plain seltzer is the same as water though, only with carbonation.
You can always squeeze lemon, lime, or oranges into regular water for a bit of a change.
