Replenishing your body with water is crucial to your health and wellness.

Are focused on keeping yourself hydrated and getting the recommended eight glasses of water each day? Join us in the Eight Glasses a Day Challenge. We want you to drink eight glasses of water a day for eight days straight. We hope from it you will develop a healthy habit to keep yourself hydrated!

Gather is giving away a product to jazz up your drink. We're providing free Crystal Light samples (that can be mixed in with your water) and a reusable water bottle to eight participants who want to take part in the Eight Glasses a Day Challenge. If you'd like to receive free Crystal Light and a water bottle to use during the challenge, tell us in the comment field below why you want to take part in the Eight Glasses a Day Challenge. Comments must be posted by Thursday, May 7th.

Whether you drink the recommended eight glasses a day or none at all, you could be selected!

  • Submit a post to the group DeliciousChange.Gather.com, detailing how many glasses of water you drank each day during the challenge.

I would love to take part in it. because I've just given up pop. and been trying to drink more water to lose weight. This would be a great help.
Dana W. May 1, 2009, 9:52am EDT
why you want to take part in the Eight Glasses a Day Challenge.

I would love to be a part of it since I am now changing my way of living for the healthier and this would make it so much easier for me to know if I would like the water better since we have well water and its gross lol. It would also let me know how the crystal lite would make a difference in my life.
Peter Joseph Swanson May 1, 2009, 9:53am EDT
I don't drink pop. I like coffee in the morning, black tea in the day, and wine in the evening.

It would be fun to try something VERY different. It's always fun to get out of a rut.
Kristina P. May 1, 2009, 9:57am EDT
I would love to take part in this challenge. I am trying to drink more water everyday and this would be a great incentive. I like Crystal Light but haven't tried the little packets yet. This would give me that chance. Yeah.
Jennifer N. May 1, 2009, 9:58am EDT
Wow this would be something I would need. (yes, need) I HATE water and refuse to drink it as I can't stand the taste. I live on juices, sodas and koolaid only. (and a bit of hot tea as well) Very unhealthy I know but no matter how I try I can't do water.

I've tried those flavored waters and they are all too sweet or just taste off. :-( I've even tried slices of fruit added to the water. Nothing works.

Perhaps the Crystal Light would make me at least tolerate the water so I could get down even one glass a day - better than my zero glasses now.

I need water for the obvious healthy reasons, but also to combat weight issues - which are made worse by my choosing the unhealthy drinks I choose.
April H. May 1, 2009, 9:58am EDT
Taking part in the 'Eight Glasses a Day Challenge' would be awesome. Why? Because for me there are many reasons to drink lots of water each day. The main reason is that proper water intake will prevent me from dehydration. Second drinking eight glasses of water would help flush my body of toxins, and promote the healing processes within my body. Ultimately it will help me become healthier.
Stacey *Mamasaid* D. May 1, 2009, 9:59am EDT
I recently started drinking eight glasses of water a day for the Gather group Shedding Light. It makes a major difference because I'm losing weight, go to the bathroom more regularly and my skin is smoother and clearer. I would love to take the challenge :)

One of my best friends always has a water bottle and noticed I'm drinking water all the time now, too. She just suggested I try Crystal Light to "jazz" up the flavor of my water. She uses the little packets to add flavor to her water. I would love to review Crystal Light and try it out, especially now that everyone is talking about it.
Pam H. May 1, 2009, 10:01am EDT
I am so trying to give up pop completely and would love to try the Crystal Light. I am also on a weight loss regimen and doing pretty well with it.

Pick me, Pick me.!!!!!!! lol
.* Sandi * May 1, 2009, 10:02am EDT
It is so hard for me to drink lately, we dont buy anything but water here to drink
so that would make it easier to get more then one glass full a day.
I never had crystal light and would love to try it
thanks
Cheryl F. May 1, 2009, 10:04am EDT
I'd like to take part in the challenge because I don't drink nearly enough water. I love Crystal light because it's a sugar-free and non-fattening drink alternative. I think it would make my water taste good and encourage me to drink more.
J F. May 1, 2009, 10:07am EDT
Why you want to take part in the Eight Glasses a Day Challenge

Since I am limited on what I can drink because of health issues I don't have much of a choice on beverages. I would love to try the Crystal Light to help me drink more water and make my day.

Thank you.
Pamela O. May 1, 2009, 10:07am EDT
I would love to take part in this challenge! I am trying so hard to cut Diet Pepsi out of my days, and just drink water. Crystal light would help with that as I find the taste of water so boring sometimes. I have noticed with the warmer weather that I seem to be becoming dehydrated more and more often. Its not a good feeling. Regardless of if I am picked or not, I am going to do this with my fellow Gatherites. I think its a good move in becoming more healthy,which is a goal I have been working towards!
colleen m. May 1, 2009, 10:07am EDT
I want to take a place in the 8 glasses a day challenge because I had bariatric surgery almost a year ago and have to get 60 oz of water a day. I have to stay hydrated. Right now I add the little stick packets from Walmart to my water. So, I am looking forward to trying Crystal Light's. Its just too hard for me to drink water strait even adding ice.
Alex In Wonderland May 1, 2009, 10:10am EDT
I'd love to give this a try! I am a big water drinker, compared to other people that I know. But even I don't drink as much as I should. I even carry around a water bottle everywhere I go. It would be better if it were a reusable one!
This would be fun and interesting to do. When I am not drinking water I am drinking coffee, tea or soda. I'd love to WANT, rather than need the bad drinks!
I know that drinking water helps with giving a little energy boost and I know that sometimes I think I am hungry but I am actually thirsty. I'll eat anyway because I want more than water can give me. I want to taste something sometimes!
Karen M. May 1, 2009, 10:11am EDT
I would love to take part in this challenge because I am always looking for new and fun ways to get my water intake especially in the hotter months that are approaching. I have always been a Crystal Light drinker, but have never tried the packets and would appreciate the opportunity !
Tabitha M. May 1, 2009, 10:14am EDT
I would like my HUSBAND to participate in this. He has been struggling to give up Pepsi and drink more water. The packets sound like easy ways he could jazz up plain water and make it a little more palatable to him. Me, I love water!
DiAnA D. May 1, 2009, 10:19am EDT
i'm game for anything thats good for me!!
Marianne R. May 1, 2009, 10:21am EDT
I could easily do this. I drink probably 10 propel waters a day currently.
Melissa R May 1, 2009, 10:26am EDT
I would love to take part in the challenge because I drink about 5 glasses of water a day right now. I have tried crystal light in the past, when you could get the big cups to make a jug of it, but have not tried the single packs.
Samantha V. May 1, 2009, 10:26am EDT
I would so love to take part in this! I have been trying so hard to motivate myself to drink water (at all!), I tend to drink soda, tea and coffee. I know that's totally not good for me, so I'd love to take part in this and maybe this could help me get on the right track.

I know drinking water is healthy for a person- who *doesn't* know that? But I, like so many others, just don't like the taste of water. I'm thinking that the Crystal Light added to water could definitely help me drink enough water everyday. And, it wouldn't make drinking water seem like such a chore! :)
Cindi P. May 1, 2009, 10:26am EDT
I would like to try this because i just joined sparkpeople yesterday, and i am really
hoping on making a whole new way of life for myself!
I never even realized that some days i don't even drink any water!
I drink coffee and soda, but not water!
So, i think the Crystal Light could help me stay on track with water consumption!
why you want to take part in the Eight Glasses a Day Challenge.: I would love to do this! To give water some flavor would make it even easier for me to get in the 8 glasses a day. I currently do not have a reuseable bottle...and that would be much better for the environment~
Dorine H. May 1, 2009, 10:33am EDT
I have drunk a lot of lemon Crystal Light in previous summers.

I've drunk at least 8 glasses a day for years, but during my most recent hospitalization for a congestive heart failure episode, I was ordered restricted to no more than 6 glasses day. Apparently long-term fluid restriction is a common treatment. Am I still eligible for the challenge?
Nana to Seven Cutiepies May 1, 2009, 10:44am EDT
I'm lucky if I drink one glass of water a day. I don't like water. I didn't know that adding something to the water still counted in your daily requirements, I think this would definitely help me reach my goal. At my age it is really important to stay hydrated, plus summer is coming and the heat factor here in SC probably makes me more dehydrated than I realize. Also, I am so used to drinking coffee all day, it's a habit. If I had something tasty to drink I would replace all that coffee. Water just doesn't satisfy me. I'm anxious to try the Crystal Light.
Pam Eccles May 1, 2009, 10:52am EDT
I only drink one cup of coffee a day, but I keep a large insulated cup of water on my desk and try hard to make sure I drink at least 3 of them daily. I don't do that well. Even tho I love water, and the way it revitalizes you immediately, there just isn't any flavor to it. I'd love to try the Crystal light to see if it would help me to drink more during the day.
Ashley M. May 1, 2009, 10:56am EDT
I definitely drink 8 glass of water a day, and I would so that I likely drink double that amount. I would love to take part in this challenge, because I am already a fan of Crystal Light's immunity boost packets and would love to try out anything new!
Matt L. May 1, 2009, 10:57am EDT
I average about 4-5 20 Oz bottles of water a day. My issue is the water at my office is not the best tasting. So I've used propel, oceanspray, and koolaid flavor packs to make it taste better. I would love to try the Crystal light drink packs. See how they compare to the ones I'm currently using.
I would love to be a part of this challenge. I drink more water now than I used to, but I know I should be drinking more than I currently am. I think this would be helpful towards getting me healthier. I use flavor packets- the types that add few calories, with some fiber, protein, antioxidants, or vitamins. If it doesn't have something redeeming in it, I don't drink it!
Jennifer O. May 1, 2009, 11:11am EDT
I want to take part in the challenge because I am trying to get back on the healthy band wagon. I only drink diet soda now which is not good. I hate plain water, it makes me naseuous. I at times have pretty serious kidney and edema problems and I need to work on my hydration issues with regard to that.
Desiree T. May 1, 2009, 11:14am EDT
I would love to do this! I use to drink a gallon or more water everyday. Lately it seems to be harder to be motivated to do it. This would give me the extra push I need.
Bridget ♥ May 1, 2009, 11:28am EDT
I would LOVE to participate in this challege because I'm currently trying to lose weight by increasing my water intake along with other healthy beverage options! I have given up pop/soda and coffee (other than a treat once or twice a month).

Anything that is motivating and will challenge me is welcome with open arms!
flit . May 1, 2009, 11:30am EDT
I am on a diet ordered by the new doctor that is hopefully going to help me to get my drivers license back .... basically, everything I used to like to drink is not allowed, so water is about all that's left - well, at least without the hassle of making my own carrot juice ....I hate cleaning the juicer.

I considered buying a box of Crystal light to try it but haven't yet.
Amy S. May 1, 2009, 11:38am EDT
I would like to participate in this challenge because I try to drink a lot of water but it would be nice to have something different. Adding flavor would make it seem like I am drinking something different and new.
Elizabeth V. May 1, 2009, 11:53am EDT
This would be great. I'd like to participate in the challenge because I need to drink a lot of water every day for a medical reason I won't go into. Currently, I put True Lemon in my bottle of water because that makes it easier. But I still don't drink enough. I'd like to compare Crystal Light with True Lemon, see if it works better for me.
tammie p. May 1, 2009, 12:02pm EDT
why you want to take part in the Eight Glasses a Day Challenge.

well first, we all need to drink more water everyday, the benefits are numerous. it helps flush your body of the extra toxins. it helps with weight management or losing weight. plus you just feel better being hydrated. i just love crystal light. the flavors are wonderful. i want to take part in this challenge because i try to drink 8 glasses a day but i forget alot of the times and just have another cup of coffee which is a dehydrator and constricts your blood vessels. i don't need that. if you pick me i will do an awesome review of the product.
Jodi G. May 1, 2009, 12:06pm EDT
I would like to take part in it because I don't like water and if I had some crystal light to add to the water, I might drink it
Rae M. May 1, 2009, 12:16pm EDT
I would love to take part, I drink a couple of glasses a day, but I don't really enjoy the taste of plain water. I do tend to drink a lot more when my water is mixed with a delicious drink mix, that is low in calories.
☀ Aunt Shanny May 1, 2009, 12:21pm EDT
I would like to participate as I am already a big water drinker- and LOVE crystal light!
Jeanette(Nettie) R. May 1, 2009, 12:36pm EDT
I would love to take part in this. I drink SOME water but not nearly as much as I should. It's so blah. Soda has too much sugar & I love coffee drinks but would like toswithc someof those out for something else that may help me reduce my intake of caffine & get teh benefits of water, while avoiding extra calories.
lynn a. May 1, 2009, 12:38pm EDT
Drinking 8 glasses of water a day takes a little practice, and then, for me, it became something I crave, so I'm always going for another glass or bottle of water. The Crystal Light has a good flavor, but I can't see drinking that in every glass of water. The artificial sweeteners are not worth it to me. Lemon juice squeezed in the water is good for us and will put a zing in the water. Sometimes I also put a slice of squeezed orange in water.

Crystal Light is good for when I really, really want something to drink other than water.
♥¤ J K¤ ♥ May 1, 2009, 12:48pm EDT
I would love to take part in the 8 glasses a day challenge. I have recently started trying to drink more water throughout the day and less soda. I just find it so hard to drink plain water. This challenge would be a perfect way for me to add water and give me accountability by reporting my review and progress to others.
Ann W. May 1, 2009, 12:54pm EDT
I know water is good for your body, but sometimes, I want something flavored to drink. I think this would be a great way to add water but still have the flavor. Not to mention the accountability would motivate me to drink more water, too.
Pam H. May 1, 2009, 1:07pm EDT
I could really use the refillable bottle too, adding to my comment above. I had a really nice one and I sent my son out to clean out my car and he did not realize it was a reusable one, it had water and a half a lemon in it and he pitched it before I realized it was gone. This sounds really nice.
Pam H. May 1, 2009, 1:07pm EDT
I also think drinking lots of water is good for keeping our skin healthy.
Susan B. May 1, 2009, 1:10pm EDT
I easily get infections if I don't stay hydrated. I try to drink my 8 a day, but sometimes I get bored with plain water. I would like to take part in the challenge to see how much better life can be when I'm properly hydrated. I know it helps wth weight loss and keeps toxins flowing out of the body. Sign me up!
Mary G. May 1, 2009, 1:28pm EDT
I'm not a fan of water drinking and need to drink more water to lose 10 more pounds to reach my weight goal. This starts on May 25th my birthday, so Gather would be giving me a birthday push in the right direction to my new clothes.
Beth G. May 1, 2009, 1:48pm EDT
I would like to take part in this challenge as drinking water is good for the skin and helpful in losing weight.
Kat W. May 1, 2009, 1:49pm EDT
I drink lots of water, filtered, Vitamin water, bottled etc. I'd love the opportunity to try the Crystal Light.
sharon SugarMomma is a wise woman, May 1, 2009, 1:51pm EDT
Because of the numerous medications I'm on I have to drink as much water as possible. Sometimes I forget because I don't really like it.

The Crystal Light Challenge might prove helpful for me.
Amy H. May 1, 2009, 1:57pm EDT
Right now I am drinking Snapple antioxidant water. These cost 1.00 a bottle. I would love to try something cheaper that is just as good. I got on a water kick when I decided recently that soda isn't good for me. But what the heck its cheaper than this water that has a taste. I just can't stand plain water so I have to have something in my water. But the habit is killing me at the grocery store. I’ve heard of crystal light but haven't tried it. I would love to give it a try!
Robin Lineberger May 1, 2009, 2:00pm EDT
I would like to be a part of the eight glass a day water. I ride my horse a lot and enter shows and this would be good for when you are out in the hot weather. I drink bottle water but this would just give it a kick. Thanks for the invite.
When I was a migrant library assistant, I used to drink Crystal Light often because one of the big firms kept boxes of it in their kitchenette for staff and visitors. I liked Raspberry the best.

Since I haven't dried up and blown away, I believe I am hydrated. Usually I sip teas at work, but Crystal Light might be a nice change of pace, and I wouldn't have to put the teapot on. That would make me a much more productive worker and stop all the teapot loitering I've been doing lately.
Jan S. May 1, 2009, 2:02pm EDT
I would like to try Crystal Light. Our drinking water here comes from a well and is tasteless. I used to drink a lot more water when we lived in the city. I would drink more now if it tasted better.
Angelina C. May 1, 2009, 2:04pm EDT
I want to take part in the Eight Glasses a Day challenge because I started drinking that much water a couple of months ago but I have recently stopped and I know how important this is to my health and my weight loss goals. This sounds like the perfect opportunity and perfect push to get me started back on my routine of drinking enough water. Thanks!
C C. May 1, 2009, 2:04pm EDT
I would love to participate in this. I know I do not drink enough water, especially in the summer. It is not good for your body to be de hydrated, and this is a great way to enjoy drinking it and replenishing your body too.
I believe in Crystal Light because I believe in ME.

And we know it's all about ME.
Christine Zibas May 1, 2009, 2:09pm EDT
With the approach of swim-suit weather, I know that I need to get more water in me before I get in the water. (Also more exercise, but that's for a different post.) With the recognition that it's already May 1, I know that I need to ramp up my game. While I will never look like Danica Patrick (this month's cover of "Shape" magazine, which prompted this reassessment last night for me), I can be healthier. Drinking 8 glasses a day is a start.

Surprisingly enough I used to drink Crystal Light years ago, then just fell away. I could use a re-taste and re-boost!
Mary M. May 1, 2009, 2:09pm EDT
Our family really enjoys Crystal Light. Lately I haven't been drinking as much water as I used to, and need to get back in the habit. Crystal Light offers a change in pace while reaching the goal of 8 glasses a day. I'd love to try some samples, and can share them with my kids and get their opinions, too!
Sarah P. May 1, 2009, 2:10pm EDT
I'd like to participate in this opportunity. Mainly because I drink a lot of soda to help me get through the day and not enough water. I need something that will make drinking water a bit more appealing. I think this would definitely help in that. I'm trying very hard to be healthier this year, however, the soda just keeps taunting me and I can't tear myself away from it. I'd love to have something refreshing that tastes good and is other than soda to drink daily. Being from Arizona, soda is a bad idea in the summer. It's very hard to stay hydrated here, the Crystal Light would work to help cure that from happening.
Kim K. May 1, 2009, 2:11pm EDT
It would be awesome to participate in this challenge because it would make me drink my 8 glasses a day. Lately I have not been doing as well getting in that many glasses of water. I have tried some of the Crystal Light and it is pretty good. I would drink more flavored water. THANKS.
John S. (arizona) May 1, 2009, 2:16pm EDT
I'm up for a chance at the challenge. Living here in Arizona and the temperature getting to the 100's it is important to stay hydrated here. Summers are brutal, LOL.
Not only that, I'd like to try the different Crystal Lights they have to offer. I had one once, and it didn't seem to bad.... ;-)
Thanks.
Crystal R. May 1, 2009, 2:17pm EDT
I would love to take part in this challenge. I drink a lot of water everyday but sometimes I craze something else and this seems like a great product to add to my water.
Cynthia A. May 1, 2009, 2:17pm EDT
I always struggle with drinking more water. My New Years resolution each year for the past 4 years now has been to drink more water. I've cut way back on my soft drink consumption, and do my best to drink water throughout the day. I'm like most people, I want a beverage that has flavor. Even adding lemon to my water helps. I have had Crystal Light in the past, and was very pleased with it. I would love to be chosen for this challenge. As someone who doesn't drink enough water, it would be interesting to see how much I woulddrink during the challenge.
Janet "Jax" B. May 1, 2009, 2:20pm EDT
I do struggle with drinking water too...I know I need to drink more water, but I don't care for just plain tap water.
Karen L. May 1, 2009, 2:24pm EDT
I'd love to participate in this challenge for my husband. He recently had surgery and is now required to try to drink 60 oz of water a day and is having trouble with it. He is trying different add ins to help get up to 60 oz, but is having a really hard time getting up to 60 oz. I would love to help him out with this. Myself, I drink that much of just plain water with ice every day.
Cynthia T. May 1, 2009, 2:25pm EDT
I would love to take part in this challenge because I know I don't drink enough water as it is. Also Crystal light was recommended for my son to drink if he doesn't drink enough water, so it would actually be good for both of us!
jenn g. May 1, 2009, 2:26pm EDT
i barely drink any water at all, for some reason i just hate the taste. i usually only drink it at restaurants with lime or lemon. i would like to lose some weight and i think drinking more water would help me with that.
Lori A May 1, 2009, 2:30pm EDT
Yes I would love to take part in the challenge I seriously hate watter yet know Im supposed to get 8 glasses a day- I even tried bottled watter but im still not doing so good -with crystal light packets Im sure I would get way more watter than Im am now unless you include the tea I drink but I'm not sure if tea counts LOL I know its watter but I heard the caffeine nixes the benefits of the water . either way I could tell you how well Chrystal light made my watter taste and how much more of it i can drink :)
Brittney R. May 1, 2009, 2:30pm EDT
Well, aside from obvious health reasons, my midwife is often telling me to drink more water, so this would be a good challenge for me. I have a hard time drinking water, especially once it reaches room temperature. Anything to help my health (and that of my unborn baby), and that would encourage my husband into a healthier lifestyle, is definitely something I would love to do!
Dayna W. May 1, 2009, 2:30pm EDT
I need to drink more water and less soda, but I don't like the taste of plain water. I would love to take part in the Challenge
Lona Herling May 1, 2009, 2:32pm EDT
I have only been drinking 1 cup of water a day as ii really dont lie the taste of the water out here where i live.i would love to be chosen to take part in this challange i was told this morning to start drinking more water as i need to with all of the meds i take.
Rachel D. May 1, 2009, 2:34pm EDT
This is such a terrific idea - I so desperately need help kicking my Diet Coke habit! I'm fast approaching the big Four-Oh, and my body needs me to be better to it, starting with 8 glasses of water a day instead of 8 glasses of Diet Coke a day!
But I find water tasteless and dull to drink - hopefully this Crystal Light will give the water the pep it needs to keep me drinking it!
Christine K. May 1, 2009, 2:35pm EDT
I would like to take the drinking water challenge! I'd love to try the Crystal light!
♠~Dnbuster~♠ ~. May 1, 2009, 2:35pm EDT
I would love to take part in this challenge.
I dont drink water too often.. this would be great way to become more healthier. I drink lots of sodas and tea. I can post my water drinking habits for the challenge.
lisa w. May 1, 2009, 2:38pm EDT
i would love to join the challenge ,i just started a new healthy way to eat and lose weight ,and i don,t like plain water so this would be perfect
Vikki M. May 1, 2009, 2:39pm EDT
I'd definitely love to take part in this challenge, because although I know how good water is for me, I don't regularly drink it as much as I should and this challenge would be a good way to kick my butt in gear and get me started on doing better when it comes to drinking water each day.
Glenna J. May 1, 2009, 2:42pm EDT
Right now I am drinking 6 to 8 diet cokes a day. I know I should not. Maybe if I tried this challenge it would get me back on track. I can do anything for 8 days.
Candice(Candy) E. May 1, 2009, 2:43pm EDT
I Would LUV" to do the Crystal Light Challenge"!!! I Really have a Hard Time Making Myself Drink 8,of the 8oz glasses of WATER per Day as Doctors Recommend;For a Healthful Lifestyle,your Body FEELS & LOOKS Good;Minimizes Swelling"( which I do have )& your Body Functions"Work Better than Ever.!!! aslo,I Enjoy doing Reviews....Pick Me,Please"
pamela r. May 1, 2009, 2:46pm EDT
i would love to join the challange, after two trips to the hospital for dehydration this past summer I try my best to drink 48oz every day most days I can only get about 32oz because I just get to sick of the blaaaaaagh taste of water. I'd love to take part in the eight days challange because it might be less of a challange for me to get the full 48 oz if there is a fun flavor to add.
This is a SUPER challenge!!!
Candice(Candy) E. May 1, 2009, 2:47pm EDT

I am a major diet and regular soda drinker. It is my "stress relief". I wish and would like to try to make water my go to when I am depressed, frustrated or stressed. I do just Crystal LIght and am glad they now have 10 packets per box. One of the few companies that upped their sizes and not their prices. I don't understand oz. though, what is that in ml. for 9 glasses. I would like a smaller water bottle, about 500ml. As I have an odd sized one at 700ml that is stainless steel.

I would love the challange, it would help me out more in the weight that I am already losing, about 25 ponds since Jan, It will help out by making me dring less coffee and other product such as bottle pop and teas. I would be honered to have this chance and maybe love a few more pounds with it

I would love to take part in this challenge as I am always looking for better ways toward healthy eating. Also, I attended a "Green Summit" last weekend and Crystal Light lemonade was served. It was very refreshing & didn't have that yucky aftertaste.

I'd like to take part in the challenge. It might help me cut down on coffee.

I used to drink more water than I have been lately, and really like the Crystal Light Rasberry Lemonade. It would be nice to have some encouragement to get back into the habit. I do keep cold water in my fridge at work, but plain water gets so boring after a while.
I would like to take the challenge because I don't like juice or milk and my diets don't allow soda. So something other than water would be a welcome change

I would like to develop an active lifestyle, a healthy one, that requires exercise and hydration. The taste of water does get boring at times, so it will be interesting to see what Crystal Light has to offer.

I dont drink as much water as I should but I am willing to take the challenge. Thanks.

I need to drink more water and cut out my Diet Coke. I would love to have to be accountable to someone during this transition from pop to water!!

I keep a glass of icewater on my desk and refill it at least 5 or 6 times.I do not drink very much soda,tea and coffee are my drinks of choice.

One of the reasons I'd like to participate in this 8 glasses of water a day is to help me with energy, to keep me hydrated and to help lose weight. I am a very heavy person with asthma. Right now I'm having trouble retaining fluids. It gets into my lungs and I have trouble breathing. I've been told that drinking more fluids would help. So I have to do this anyway.
Second, I love to do product evaluations. I believe I have excellent writing skills and can do a great job evaluating this experience.

Third, I have never really done an evaluation for Gather like this. I have done product evaluations for other companies. They love my evaluations because I express myself so well, and I do a thorough job.
Fourth, I would have no trouble at all meeting the requirements you have listed above for this project.

I have tried some stick packs in my drinks and enjoyed those. I think I would really enjoy this project. In any case, thank you for giving me this chance.

I try to drink up to 8 glasses a day, but there are days when i am too busy or not thirsty...this will make me do it and possibly get me into the habit. the crystal light would be a perfect addition to get my thirst going. thank you!

I have tried drinking water without any flavor and just cant do it. I got to the gym 5 to 6 days a weeks and while working out and at home afterward I drink water and have to buy the cheap drink mixes. I would love to have the crystal light to try! I dont drink the 8 glasses a day right now but having a goal and posting my daily account would enable me to reach that goal and move farther away from Soda

I have been working on dieting and improving my overall health but I hate the taste of water - the only way for me to drink more water is by buying flavored water.
Shannon W May 1, 2009, 3:38pm EDT
I want to take part in this because I usually don't drink all the water that I should every day. Having something to put in the water and a water bottle to put it in would ensure that I drink more water daily. Usually I'm busy running around taking care of the family and getting work done that I don't take proper care of me! With this challenge, I'd like to start.
