I feel you on this one. I was lazy with drinking water. However, I noticed more of a weight loss when I drank at least 64 oz. a day. Even if you took water pills you'd still need to drink water. Otherwise, you might get dehydrated. Try it with Crystal Light. It will be easier to drink. Some of them are actually pretty good. They're cheaper at WalMart. I even sometimes buy the generic WalMart brand. 

Water pills can be dangerous if your not drinking water. I only took them one time years ago and ended up in the hospital with the worst kidney infection. I was told I didn't drink enough water and my kidney's paid the price. I am not a water drinker either but can handle iced tea even unsweet. Just that little bit of not water flavor helps me. I know my mother drinks flavored water that has no added sugar (walmart brand carbinated) and it has all kinds of fruit flavor in it, maybe something like that would help you drink more water? 

Yeah, I buy the Crystal Light and the store brands of "shakers" as I call them. I've only been drinking about two bottles a day though. I have to motivate myself to drink more. I will definitely stay away from the water pills, I am kidney/bladder infection prone. Thanks guys! 

Have you ever tried Perrier? I like carbonation!! So Perrier is one of my favorite choices and you can get it in lemon or lime flavored as well as "water" flavor. :) The fruity waters are fun on occasion but my favorite carbonated drink is Coke Zero. :( Sorry. I know you can't count on it for 64 oz of water a day but I do get one in almost every day. Sure it's not great for you but I have given up so many of my bad habits that I am hanging on to this one a little longer.
