Default Have a hard time drinking Water..

How much does it hurt induction to add a lemon wedge to a large bottle of water? (40 OZ)?

I can drink a lot more water with lemon in it, but I'd hate for it to mess up induction. This is my 3rd and LAST time Im attempting to loose weight! Im sick of looking worse now then I did the day after having a baby!

For those of us who are carbage addicts, weight loss is a lifetime journey. Speak kindly to yourself as you pursue this adventure.

I had tried at least 50 diets before I found Atkins and found sanity. I'm glad I didn't give up. Never give up.

Personally, I wouldn't lose any sleep over one little lemon wedge in that much water.

The important thing is to get that water down your gullet everyday. I find this easier to do with cold, cold water, and I love having a straw and sipping it all day long no matter what else is going on. I have about 10 plastic bottles that I store in the fridge each night, and when the bottles are empty for the day I know I drank enough.

If I leave it to guesswork, I won't drink enough. Thats all there is to it.

I have to outsmart myself! heh, heh

Just remind yourself how much your body loves that water even if you don't. Your body uses it for a million healthy purposes, and of course it needs a way to slide that extra storage fat outta your system.

So drink lots of water and pee in glee!

I'm the opposite. I find drinking water easier when it's room temperature. I can drink it faster that way. And it has to be spring water, I buy it by the gallon. I can't stand tap water, I have to have lemon with it when eating out.

I am a former Diet coke addict, trying to ONLY drink water and decaf coffee.

Oh, and I can totally relate to the baby weight issue. (mine will be 3 in June) No More Excuses!!

Good Luck!

I'm a room temperature from the tap kind of girl...I'm easy...lol
A slice of lemon or a slice of cucumber is perfectly fine, so go for it if it helps you.

I don't mind what kind of temperature the water is, as long as I drink it and I have no problem downing it, I'm Good. I prefer cold water with lots of ice in it over extremely warm water, but whatever I get is what I get. And adding a little touch of lemon to the water is great! Don't fret too much! You're doing well.

Pee should be clear and odorless when you're drinking enough water. Whenever I see yellow...I grab another bottle!
