Another $500 Winner From Crystal Light!
Congratulations to Micha for winning the random drawing in the $500 giveaway! Thank you all for participating and thanks to random.org for giving me a means of picking a random winner! Mimi, I’m sending you an email with instructions on how to get your address to me! Thank you, Crystal light!
I’ve had a GREAT week drinking more water! The difference is pretty profound, both in my performance level and in my wallet. I ended up drinking about 80% less carbonated beverages and actually found myself craving Crystal Light over my usual drink.
The one thing I noticed a significant change in this past week was sleep quality. I have pretty frequent bouts of insomnia, mainly because my mind just won’t shut down: so much to plan, so much to do, so many projects I want to tackle. When I lay down in bed, that is often the only time during my day that I have a bit of quiet with my thoughts so they tend to take over.
This past week, however, I slept deeply every single night. It was stunning. I’m not sure if this was due to being properly hydrated for the first time in a decade or more, but since that was the only change I made, you gotta wonder. Also take into the account the amount of caffeine I normally ingest versus drinking only Crystal Light and I feel pretty confident the water made the difference.
I did fall off the wagon a time or two and go back to drinking diet carbonated drinks (As a lifelong Alabamian, I can bring myself to say “carbonated beverages” but just can’t form the word “Soda”!) but when I did, I felt at once sluggish as a result. I know this was a psychological thing and I’m not quite sure at what point I decided to go cold turkey to Crystal Light this past week but it did happen at some point and I’m awfully glad I did.

Great!
Coming off of a rabid caffeine/carbonation was not easy. Thank goodness for Crystal Light Energy! I discovered the individual packets of this in Wild Strawberry and used them to flavor my bottled water when out and about or to start my day off. They added a bit of caffeine to help me get over the hump.
Will I give up my carbonated beverages? While I don’t see myself giving them up entirely, I have cut down from eight to ten a day (I know, that is an awful number) to one or two a day and my water intake has increased substantially. I am easily meeting or exceeding the 8-10 glass recommendation.
My skin looks better, my energy level is better, my sleep is better, and my overall performance is definitely at a new high – which I’m gonna need!
Water has made a difference and I’m won over.
Now, how about one of you being a winner? Last week’s $500 Visa Gift Card giveaway had over 540 entries. I used random.org to draw a number and the corresponding comment belongs to: Jackie Medows!

Drinking water makes me feel so much better.
The following will probably amaze and startle you.

Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Just wanted to share this with everyone! Very Interesting!
I was so addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper. I have begun drinking more water for the health but mainly because drink prices are so high. I have found that I have saved so much money lately by drinking more water. My kids are even asking for water now!!
Drinking more water GREATLY decreased my joint pain. I’ve gone to the hospital with dehydration. Lemme tell ya, it wasn’t a fun trip. One of the scariest moments of my life. I walking around doin the Fred Sanford walk.. “I’m comin Elizabeth!!”…
I didn’t have a “coke” all weekend and didn’t even miss it, thanks to my Crystal Light Peach Tea! I just know this is going to do wonders for my complexion. Oh, and my twin toddlers have their favorites, too. One prefers the lemonade, while the other prefers peach tea. I do not want them to have too much sugar and Crystal Light is a great way to keep my kiddos hydrated, too!
I have such a boost of energy that I did not have before and with school starting back I needed that. With the all of the varieties of Crystal Light even my husband and children are joining me in drinking water. That is something considering my children are 7 and 5.
I start the day with a glass of o. j. AND a big glass of water. If I feel hungry between meals, I drink a big glass of water. Add the Crystal Light! My energy is way up! I feel light, Crystal Light!
When you described the effects of dehydration, I felt like you were describing the way I have been feeling lately! I didn’t realize! My doctor has told me to drink more water, but YUK! Now, I have a plan, I will (with a little help from Crystal Light) DRINK MORE WATER!! I am actually kind of excited to get started, I really want to feel better. Thanks for the info!
What great information…Thanks for reminding me..Need to get back to drinking more water.
I do love the Crystal Light packets – I haven’t tried the energy ones, but I sure need to. I love reading your blog and learning new things! =)
I did very well with my increased water intake last week … got 60-80 oz each week day. Again, my fave Crystal Light is the green tea honey lemon flavor. Had to do some traveling over the weekend, and increased water intake isn’t good if you’re spending lots of time in airports and shuttles. But I’m back on the wagon again, started off with 20 oz. of water on my drive in to work this morning.
Christy,
I use the 24 oz Tervis Tumbler with my big University of Alabama logo! I take it to work and it keeps ice cold all day. I usually drink at least 3 to 4 entire glasses a day. If I don’t, it is amazing how your body lets you know what it is used to and is screaming I NEED WATER!
Lesley in Alabama
Feel much more hydrated thanks to the H2O and Crystal Light-and it’s soooo good!
I have been drinking more water and I have to say that I feel more energized. Also, I have IBS and noticed that the more water I drank the less pain from acid reflux I experienced.
I have had a great week drinking Crystal Light, trying all the many flavors, and knowing it is good for me too!!
Hi Christy,
I am nursing and have found that drinking more water has helped my milk supply substantially! I thank you and our baby thanks you too!
I have always had a reputation for drinking more Diet Coke than anyone anybody else knows. I took on your challenge and have to say there has been a dramatic difference. I haven’t had to take anything for a headache in a week. The pain I usually feel in my knees and elbows seems to have vanished. I have more energy and feel more alert. Now I’m one of those annoying people who preaches to everyone about the benefits of water! Thanks for the challenge because otherwise I probably would not have given my lack of water consumption another thought.
I am drinking more water but haven’t purchased Crystal Light as of yet but I plan to. I’ve cut my soft drinks down from three a day to one and I do feel better.
My skin has definitely improved and I find that I don’t feel so bloated anymore.
I am totally amazed at the difference cutting back on my diet sodas and uping my water has made. I have alot more energy and feel so much less sluggish. I haven’t tried the Crystal Light Energy yet, but plan to pick some up this afternoon since I ususally need a little boost of caffeine to get me going in the morning! Thanks for the encouragement!
Water has made such a difference in my skin, hair, nails, and energy level. I was amazed at how moistured my skin felt and how it actually seems as though it tightened it up some! The Crystal Light packets are so convenient and delicious. Even my teenaged son loves them!
I started trying to reclaim my body since having twins. (It should have been done a few years ago
I now workout 3 times a week so the increase in water has fit in perfect!
Hi Christy! My son and I have both been doing very well with the water. When I wake up, the first thing I do is pour me a glass of water and drink it all. Then I eat my breakfast. Then, throughout the rest of the day, whenever I want a glass of tea (or, rarely, soda), I first make myself drink *twice* that amount in water before I get my ‘reward’! Not only am I drinking more water, but I’m cutting back on the amount of bad stuff I drink.
My son’s doing better too, he doesn’t need to be bribed into drinking water! Although, he does really like using his “Cars” themed cups.
I have been drinking only water and Crystal Light for a month now. I can honestly say that I feel better. I have not tried the Crystal Light Energy but I will definitely look for it at my supermarket this week. Thanks for your great site!
June
Love the fact that I can get in 3-4 bottles of water a day by using Crystal Light Lemonade and peach tea mix. Getting up at night to go the the bathroom is a small price to pay for feeling better!
I’ve been drinking more water too. Helps keep the tummy fat and waistline down and I notice a difference when wearing swimsuits and other summer clothes. When I binge and want a Coke (any flavor)I try to go to sweet tea instead. I think that it is still better than drinking Coke although I love me some Coke every now and again and only the real thing will do. The downside is that I have to go to bathroom alot more!
I did fair this week. Work is always so busy that it is afternoon before I get much to drink, but have worked hard during the evening to catch up. Marsha
In an effort to get my diabetic husband to drink more water, we’ve tried the Crystal Light lemonade and he drinks 2 quarts every day!
It’s the best of both worlds!
Water,water everywhere,
Good for my nails,skin,and hair.
I drink it every mornin,noon,and night.
Just add to it my favorite Crystal Light.
Drinking more water does make a difference for me too. I am not a soda drinker so I don’t have that habit to break but I need to remember to drink a glass of water when I think I want to snack on something because I am usually just thirsty and not hungry at all!
I was very good at drinking my water. We live on a farm and have the greatest tasting water but crystal light makes it taste great! Life is good and so is Crystal Light!
I did ok this week. I noticed when I drank more water I was not as thirsty! The sode couldn’t fix my thirst! I still love keeping the little packs in my desk!
I feel SO much better when I drink more water, and paying attention to the quantities makes it easier to get in as much as I need. Thanks for the reminders!
Drinking more water has been an eye-opening experience for me! It seems that it quenches my thirst better than other beverages! And adding Crystal Light to it just sweetens the deal!
Water is essiental to life. My daughter swims, and she can attest to the benefits of water. She struggled with her diet when she first started swimming year round. After many problems with adjusting – WATER makes the biggest difference! She can tell when she hasn’t had enough.
I know the benefits, but need to do better. Thanks for reminding us!
I felt good drinking water this week and my skin looks great too!
Drinking more water and fewer sodas always makes me feel better. I have more energy and no bloated feeling I get when I don’t eat properly and don’t get enough water. Thanks for encouraging us to lead more healthy lifestyles Christy!
I have never been one to drink carbonated beverages, so I always went for things like fruit drinks, lemonaide, and Kool-Aid if I wanted something with taste. Sometimes there is so much sugar in those though that it leaves me still thirsty after I have drank a whole cup! With drink more “pure” water I noticed that it quenches my thirst with just one cup and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night with a throat dryer than the Sahara!!!
I would have to say that my week of drinking more water has gone exceptionally well because the weather is SO HOT here in New England that I have been forced to drink more! lol I don’t know how you Southern gals stand all the heat and humidity! I’ll take snow, cold and lots of woolen apparel over this sticky yuck any day! lol
I have been going to the gym so the water increase has been a must for me, but I also notice when I drink more water I tend to eat/snack better, an apple instead of a cookie and that sort of thing so I feel better all the way around! Thanks Christy!
My week went great- I did fall off the wagon a bit over a wekkend trip to the beach, but overall, I love the change in my energy levels! Thanks for the challenge Christy!
Congratulations Jackie!! I have also been drinking more water but still need to cut back on the Dr. Pepper. I’m trying, I just need to go buy groceries and stock back up on my Crystal Light.
Christy,
I want to thank you again for letting us talk about our Mamas a few posts ago, it was wonderful reading everyone’s comments and to get to submit our own. By the way, my parents are big Crystal Light drinkers, my Dad has dozens of water bottles filled and mixed up ready when all the Grandkids visit. They love it!
I have been soda free for almost 2 weeks, i started a few days before your challenge. I feel so much better. I can tell a big change in my whole body. thanks for the encouragement.
I love drinking water with Crystal Light on the go sticks as I am a diabetic. I find the more water I drink, the lower my blood sugar readings are. I just grab a bottle of water, add the Crystal Light stick and it taste great and I feel good!
Christy, I see you found the wild strawberry and I can’t find it here but friends have said it is great! Smells like cotton candy! Yum!
The best motivation for quitting soda is all the money you’ll save! And then you can spoil yourself with a new purse or shoes. I love water, tea, and crystal light, its inexpensive and doesn’t go to your hips.
I have found ways to work out while sitting in my chair at work!!!
yeah!
I am working hard at drinking more water, but find it hard to do at school. I am forcing myself to drink at least one 32 oz class during the morning so that I can have a diet pepsi for lunch. The Crystal Light packets help so much as I really have a hard time with the taste of the water in the city. I grew up on well water.
Adding more water was easy, I just made sure I drank a glass for every soda I had-pretty soon I noticed I wanted water, not soda! I love the Crystal Light flavors!
I am surprised how easy it was! I am a big sweet tea drinker and extra sweet at that. I made sure to have a CL picture made where the sweet tea usually is and I think I even converted my husband!
I love to drink water. I found a couple of days this past week that I forgot to drink as much as I should have and I found myself thirstier at bed time. The Crystal Light definitely makes drinking water easier too!
The more water I drank, the more water I craved! *smile* SO much better than all of the soda I love to drink. I feel better, skin feels better … it’s fantastic! I’ve promised my teens that I will invest in the “go green” stainless steel water bottles for them to take to school. We are all doing better with more water!
My teenage daughter loves the Crystal Lite packs … Mmmmm!
I have been drinking loads of water this week. It has been so hot here and thanks to Crystal Light and their many flavors, you can get in your water with a lot of flavor variety. I have noticed that I have more energy, feeling better and am more alert since I have been increasing my water intake.
I have been drinking LOTS AND LOTS of water, and I now know that my bladder does work! Sometimes in overdrive! But, I have noticed that my skin is clearer (a word?) and I am sleeping better.
Also, when I did drink a soda, I was really thristy afterwards for water! I found that I preferred to have the water with Crystal Light Flavors!
I have done great! (If I must say so myself.) I love Mt. Dew and like you I drink ALOT of it. I used this week to cut myself down. I drink 1 Mt. Dew a day and Crystal Light the rest. I have found the I just feel better. (who knew?)The upside for me is that I have also managed to lose 2 lbs. I am proabaly drinking about 2qts. of water a day. It is hot here right now we’ll see if I can keep that up once it cools off.
I have been drinking Crystal Light for years and recently converted my whole family! Buying soda can be expensive and addicting. I felt that it was not good for my children. So we drink Crystal Light. We feel great! We always have a cool, refreshing drink on hand without having to run to the store.
My parents were visitng for 3 weeks (from FL) and I converted them as well! They ran out to buy some before heading back to FL! I’m sure they’ll tell all their friends as well.
Crystal Light is amazing. It’s packable, it’s yummy and it’s better for you than soda…we are definitely a Crystal Light family here in Michigan!
I have noticed a difference drinking more water too. I feel much better. I have cut my carbonated drinks down to one per day and I plan to keep it up! Thanks Christy!!
I tried a few of the energy ones, but the flavor wasn’t for me… Didn’t see strawberry though. I’m a bit sluggish today, but I ran out of crystal light and hijacked some diet pop… I can’t stand tap water! I usually even filter water for my crystal light, but was out of filters as well… I need to make a trip to the store apparently!
I have 3 month old twin girls that I breastfeed. It is CRITICAL that I drink enough water to keep up my milk supply – and drinking plain water can be pretty boring! I like the pink lemonade Crystal Light, it keeps me interested in drinking water. Also, I don’t mind giving it to my two boys since it doesn’t have much sugar, but tastes like it does!
I love to develope “check points” during the day to remind me to drink a glass of water; such as 1 with breakfast, 1 during my favorite cooking show, 1 with my medicine, 1 while cooking dinner,1 with a mid day snack, etc. before long I realize my body responds to the routine and “it” tells me when I’ve missed my water.

I have stuck a few in my purse and when I am tempted with a soda, I can just pull one out and have a no-calorie-low cost drink and not feel bad about it.
Saves quite a few WW points and it doesn’t make me feel like I am missing out on anything. My favorite is the white grape.
Christy,
I can really tell a difference in the way I feel when I drink lots of water and Crystal Light. I have cut back to one diet Pepsi per day, although I still like a caffeine free diet Pepsi late in the afternoon! The Crystal Light Natural Citrus Splash is great! Thanks for the encouragement!
I didn’t know Crystal Light made energy drinks. I must try it!
I’m having a hard time getting back into my water drinking. But I feel so much better when I do drink lots of water.
Confession time………I must have my cup of coffee in the morning………you just can’t mess with my coffee. I really enjoy the flavor variety so you don’t get bored. We drinks so much CL that my husband mixes it by the gallon! and often combines flavors for even more variety. For us seniors you can’t get better than CL!
I must confess it was pretty easy for me because I’ve always been a big water drinker. I usually drink about 4 cups of tea during the first couple of hours I’m up, but it’s been so hot and muggy this week that I switched to ice water after the second. One tip: if you have a problem with the taste of chlorine in your water, put two full containers of the amount you think you’ll drink in a day in the fridge and leave them for 24 hours or so. As you finish one, refill it and drink the other. For me, it’s 2 gallon milk jugs. For some reason, the chlorine dissipates over that period of time.
Chlorine evaporates and the 24 hour period is perfect to let it all dissipate. I had learned this trick a few years ago from another health nut like me!
Thanks for sharing the trick!
I have never been a fan of water. However, I have problems with my feet swelling due to a thyroid imbalance. Since drinking Crystal Light and incorporating more water into my diet, the swelling in my feet has gone down tremendously. This is something I should have done a long time ago. Thanks for the “challenge”!
Hey Christy!
Well, after week one of drinking more water I have seen some changes. The biggest being I have more energy. It was easy to drink more of it with the Crystal Light there to help it go down. Plus, my skin isn’t as itchy as usual. If only my mind would slow down at night so I can sleep as soundly as you did this week. Now, I have never heard of the wild strawberry flavor. This is exciting news to me! I am quite certain I would love it and hopefully I can find it around here.
I have been a proponent of drinking water for over 9 years now. I was already drinking 64 ounces at the time but due to a health problem the dr. said double it and I did. Wow! Made a huge difference but since the quantity is rather high I don’t drink much else except 2 cups of morning coffee – gotta have it
Thanks for all you do Christy!!!!
Money is the best reason for quitting soda………saving it that is. Crystal Light in water seems to be a growing trend. My grandkids brought it when they came to visit from another state. I loved it. Thanks for the chance.
I’m trying. At night is when I can tell I haven’t had enough water for that day because I get so thirsty. Trying to stay with it!
I am a HUGE diet coke drinker..in fact, I drink it in the mornings, instead of coffee. Your post about Crystal Light and drinking more water has really inspired me! Im off to the grocery store to purchase Crystal Light and give it a try for a week. Thanks!
Lots of water, lots of new yummy crystal light packets, lots of new trips to the ladies room!!
all good I guess..:)
think of all the extra steps I’ve taken this week!!
I really Crystal Light Green Tea and ny husband like Crystal Light Lemonade. We always have “On The Go” packets with us.
I have been drinking water all week, except for a few other drinks this weekend. Thank goodness Crystal Light has so many flavors or I know I would have gotten bored by now and gone back to sodas.
Gotta love it on a HOT Day…………… G…
PS: For something just a little different… I make cards and include the individual size servings in them..
Hi Christy, this last week was wonderful. Drinking Crystal Light has kept my blood sugars down and I have felt very good and my skin really shows it. Getting my granddaughters to drink more water was so easy…they love Crystal Light. They would get their bottle of water from the fridge and I would let them pick the flavor they wanted…easy peasey and a happy grandma and healthier grandchildren! Hugs!
I always feel better when I drink more water. Crystal Light makes it much easier. A new favorite at our house is Raspberry Lemonade flavor. Yummm!
I love Crystal Light!
I have an obsession with the fruit punch flavor, and the immunity ones (I can’t remember the flavor) My absolute favorite thing is to mix these in Smart Water, which has electrolytes in it = super hydration!
My daughter who is 2 gets an occasional really diluted version of crystal light – she loves it. We got the daddy hooked too.
I have drank alot of water this week and feel better, my back pain has been getting a little better at a time as well. I think it is because I am hydrating a ton more.
It’s been great for me too! I feel good and I’ve had more energy to pack (with a toddler…ug.) for our move this weekend! Yay!
Water always makes me feel better. I try to drink 2-3 BIG glasses daily, but with the dog days of summer upon us I’ve been drinking a good bit more water. I’ve noticed that I’ve been falling asleep more easily at night as well and I figure that’s from drinking water versus pop all the time.
I’m actually headed to the store later today to pick up some more Crystal Light (among other things). I’m in the mood to try something new, so maybe I’ll get a different flavor than I normally would…
I have been on a quest to drink more water for some time. My son has a 60 ounce per day requirement for health issues, and in an attempt to help him see the value, I have made the switch as well. We add Crystal Light stir sticks to a bottle of water (for both of us) and have drinking competitions.
For me…less carbonation = less tummy aches The carbonation has been ripping up my gut. I feel so much better without it!
Drinking water makes me less hungry definitely. If I drink soda & coffee, it gives me quick energy burst but then I crash and feel groggy. I then have to drink more soda & coffee. The highs and lows were too extreme for me. Drinking water keeps me even throughout the day.
Over the past few weeks that I have started consuming more water (I had actually begun before you posted the challenge. I knew that it was better for me, but when you stated some of the statics of how water made up much of our bodies, I felt it was the right thing to do.) I find I now “desire” flavored water and look forward to drinking it.
I have been doing great this past week! I drank much more water and Crystal Light instead of Diet Coke. I haven’t tried the Crystal Light Energy, but I am going to pick some up at the store later today to give it a try. I need all the energy I can get working at home with 2 little ones running around here all day! They love the Crystal Light too — especially the fruit punch!
Drinking more water definitely seems to help me to sleep better at night. I have suffered from insomnia for a while lately and drinking more water has made a difference! Also, here is a little tip I learned — eat popcorn as an evening snack — it promotes sleep! I swear it works too!!!
The older I get the more water I drink. It quenches the thirst and keeps me active.
Well I keep a big jug of Crystal Light lemonade in the fridge. I will open it up and get a glass, more now than before. I take the packets with me when I go somewhere. I figured out that the cost of soft drinks have risen to a tune of 50 cents a can and more, to just 14 cents and some times less per serving of Crystal Light.
So best way is to go with the Crystal light, and it is better for you.
I have totally fallen in love with the Crystal Light Sunrise ORANGE flavor! It is awesome – tastes like Tang or OJ without the acidity (or calories). Crystal Light ROCKS!
I’ve cut my sodas out beginning 8/1/09 and i dont feel any difference yet. Coke has always been my first choice and Dr. Pepper my second. Water doesnt always go with everything you eat…for example, pizza. You need a soda. McDonalds has the best, coldest Coke ever. But i have also started drinking Crystal Light. I dont care for the Sunrise,but I do love the Pink Lemonade.
Drinking more water this week has made me more refreshed and less thirsty! lol, I know that sounds weird, but with soda, I always feel thirsty!
I am convinced drinking more water has made me feel much better. Amazing how such a small change can make such a huge difference. Thanks for the “push” to get me started. Also, enjoy Crystal Light for an occasional treat.
I love drinking water. I drink it all day long (after I’ve had my Diet Dr. Pepper to get me going). I will say, though, for me, water does not keep hunger pains at bay.
I really surprised myself this past week with how much water I
could drink. I thought I was drinking plenty of water and Crystal
Light before but last week had to set a new record for me. My skin
looks much better and I feel I’m more alert. Thanks for the healthy
challenge!
I have really increased my water intake. I have noticed that I do not feel as run down.
My husband and I love Crystal Light…I have been drinking more water, but I can say he really took the challenge to heart. He used to be a die-hard sweet tea drinker (to the tune of a pitcher a day), but how drinks mainly Crystal Light. He’s lost weight and is getting in shape too! We generally stock up on Crystal Light whenever it is BIGIF at Publix and we ALWAYS have plenty of extra coupons!
Crystal light makes it so much easier to get my water in. It gets boring just drinking plain water. When I am in the mood for something sweet crytal light helps curb my craving.
I’ve seen a difference in my appearance, weight and energy level this past week by drinking more water. It’s amazing how much difference there can be by adding more water into your diet.
Its also better for the wallet too. Saving money on expensive drinks and if you eat out at a sit down restaurant they usually charge 1.25-2.75 for a drink! Get water and your Save SAVE SAVE!!!
Water helps to curb me from eating more. It gets rid of the hunger instantly when I know I shouldn’t eat anymore. My skin has definitely noticed a difference too. Plus, I love having the variety of Crystal Light so I’m not always drinking the same thing!
Well, this week of drinking water has been alot more than usual because of the hot temps outside. Crysal Light is constantly made and put in the fridge so their cold and refreshing when we need refreshed. Nothing does it better than an ice cold Crystal Light in a to go bottle!
Well, I’m not where I should be as far as drinking more water, but I definitely have improved my water intake. Now that I’ve started, I plan to keep it up!
I actually tried to keep track of how much water and crystal light I drank, and also recorded my weight. (Gasp!) I lost 2 pounds! Yea!!! Now if I could only kick my Red Bull addiction!!! :>)
I’ve enjoyed the extra challenge of water. It has helped with the water retention that the sodas cause. Thanks for the challenge, let’s keep it up.
I have joined First Place. As part of the program you are supposed to drink 8 – 8 oz. glasses of water a day + an additional 8 oz. glass for each 25 lbs you wish to lose. That meant 10 – 8 oz. glasses a day for me. I hate water. Crystal Light is an easy way to be able to do that. I did not even feel like I was drinking water. The extra hydration made me feel more energetic and I began walking.
My family is already addicted to CL. I love that its sugar free and affordable. My kids don’t act crazy when they drink it, for the price of one pre-mixed bottle of juice I can get enough CL to make 6-8 gallons, and it makes great sugar free popsicles. ~_* I have to say my nails don’t break and crack anymore, my skin looks better and I don’t get the urge to snack. Oh and it curbs my cravings for sweets.

I fell off my “water wagon” yesterday. I have been drinking too much decaf iced tea with an “unnamed” sweetener. I think my digestive system is revolting today and demanding more water.
I love Crytal Light!!! I have been able to give up soda completely…and I feel so much better!!!
I am off caffine and sodas due to pregnancy so Crystal Light has helped keep my water intake from being boring. I am loving the Lemonade flavor!
I am feeling so much better without all of the diet soda! I think more water will help the last 10 stubborn lbs. melt off! My kids are drinking more water, too!
Crystal Light makes drinking water easy & a delicious way to hydrate all day long! I no longer drink soda which always made me feel bloated anyway. Yea for Crystal Light!
Our whole family has joined the water/Crystal Light KICK! We love it in our pool snack bag and my hubby totes it in his coffee travel mug for his commute. Wish they had a coffee flavor–hey, Crystal Light gurus–there is an idea to investigate: Iced Coffee Flavored Crystal Light! You did such a good job with the Iced teas!
I didn’t do so well with drinking more water last week. Oh well, here’s to trying again this week!
I have been warned by my urologist to totally avoid ALL carbonated beverages. I was pretty much addicted to Coca-Cola Classic–having at least 2 just to kick off my day. I have begun to drink LOADS of water daily but tend to get tired of drinking just plain ol’ water! CRYSTAL LIGHT to the rescue!! Now I crave their lemonade flavor!! Soooo much better for me than the carbonated stuff.
Looking forward to trying Crystal Light Energy! Feel so much better when I am well hydrated!
Bountiful Blessings!
So far so good with drinking more water this week. I am slowly working my way up to eight glasses. I really love soda but, a good substitute is to drink seltzer water ( it is just carbonated water) and I add a little fruit juice, it is bubbly and good tasting and satisfying like soda, but you’re really just drinking water with a little juice for taste, it is better for you.
I believe I had a successful week of drinking more water. I feel less sluggish and more alive. Also I am one of those who typically retains a lot of fluid during the summer and my hands, face, and feet swell … a lot. I’ve noticed it isn’t so bad since I’ve increased water intake and decreased soda, tea, etc… I plan to continue drinking more water and less of the ‘other’ stuff in hopes to be a healthier me.
I would say my week went just ok…I really did well at work, but home was another story
Drinking more water has been a challenge for me, indeed, but I’m getting better and better every day. I do feel so much better when I drink more water. I love adding the Crystal Light. It makes it so much easier to get more glasses of water in every day.
I will join the effort to drink more water. Thanks for the giveaway.
So far so good. Not the best yet, but I have cut my Diet Dr P from 3 or 4 cans a day to 2 cans. (Wow! Christy 8 – 10 cans a day!)For the next week or two, I want to try to wean myself down to 1 can of Diet Dr P a day and up my water intake to 8 – 10 glasses each day. What a challenge!
I’m not as tired and I feel so much better. I now carry a tall glass of ice water everywhere I go.
I love ice cold water with a little bit of lemon. I really like the lemonade crystal light. I have cut down my cola intake and I do feel so much better and have actually lost a few pounds.
Thanks for your encouragement.
I’ve enjoyed the Peach Tea packets this week! I’ve rested better and walked with an added spring in my step!! Thanks to your delightful challenge, healthier and happier!!
Drinking more water makes me feel healthier, less bloated, and it helps me eat less.
My husband started me on a 7 day water “diet” where I fill up a gallon jug with water in the mornings and drink that during the day for 7 days. On day 8, I barely drink anything. I’ve been doing this for two weeks, and have already lost 5 pounds. I LOVE it. I’m not as hungry as I used to be, either!
I used to drink lots of water all the time, but I just got out of the habit. I’m really trying to get back to drinking water again. My grandchildren love Crystal lite and I would rather give them that rather than sugary drinks.
Love, Love, Love Crystal Light Lemonade!!! ‘Nuf said!

My week has turned into a great excuse to look great! I’ve had so many compliments (already) on how great my skin looks and asking for my secret. I keep my nice water bottle beside me and fill it up many times during the day – my children even have demanded their own water bottles and carry theirs with them at all times too!
Didnt do great last weak but I will try harder this time.
I have always tried to make sure I drank lots of water and believe me when I tell you tht once you get used to it, your body lets you know loud and clear that it NEEDS water now! I alternate between Crystal Light and plain water.
It is simply amazing how my energy level has increased! Isn’t it strange how we tend to ignore the simple things God has put here for us to use?
Thanks for your posts!
I am on my second week trying to drink more water. I started trying not to drink any carbonated beverages at all, but I think I needed to take baby steps. It’s too hard to drink water with salty foods, so I do occasionally drink a Dr.P or Pepsi with it. I do have to say though drinking more water does help you to feel great!
I eat less, I sleep more, the list goes on and on!
I am a Water drinker anyway, but I stepped it up a bit! I think it makes your skin a bit brighter and your not so saggyish!
and you don’t RETAIN water! Crazy I know! Plus you are not reachin’ for snacky snacks cause ya got yer water to keep ya company! ha!
Thanks for a GREAT Giveaway~
We can ALL use it!

It’s funny that the weather has gotten hotter in NJ this week, because it fit with this water challenge! I have been drinking like crazy since we are trying to keep the AC off for as long as we can during the day.
I have cut my intake of carbonated beverages down to only 1 – 2 a WEEK. I feel so much better and it is making it easier to lose weight too! I also am feeling good about getting more water into my body. I love Crystal Light and keep the larger tubs as well as the small packets on hand all the time. They are so easy to tuck in your pocket or purse for use anytime. Also I keep a few in my glove box as well.
I try to drink at least 70-80 ounces of water while at work during the day. Weekends are harder. I definitely feel a difference when I don’t drink as much water as I would during the week. I feel parched and hot when I don’t get enough to drink.
It has been great drinking more water! Love it.
It has been great drinking more water! I take a big bottle of it with me to work and keep it on my desk.
I must say you feel so much better when you drink plenty of water
I am still working on it!!
I feel so good when I drink my water! But I still have my sweet tea too!
What a great promotion this is!!!! Drinking water is such an essential part of healthy living, or just living regardless of health…lol. Water is the only thing that will quench my thirst now. It used to be diet Pepsi but that now has this eeecccchhhhh feeling in the back of my throat (how many of you sounded that noise out???lol). Crystal light has always been a favorite of mine, I remember it growing up, my dad would always drink the lemonade flavor. Im more drawn to the peach tea but to each his own.
I hope everybody is enjoying a little more water in their day!!!!
My kids ask for water over all other beverages. I pledge to be better about drinking it with them.
I keep a bottle of fresh well water with me at all times. Crystal Light Lemonade is great for when you want something extra special.
I have reduced the amount of carbonated drinks I have been drinking, too. I try to keep a glass of water with me all the time.
The Crystal Light “Hydration” packets are great! I definitely feel better drinking more water!
My husband refuses to drink much plain water, but I can add Crystal Light and he drinks it right up! It tastes so good, he doesn’t even realize it’s HEALTHY too!!
The water intake is increasing which is a wonderful think.
Thanks for the encouragement!
I’ve tried really hard this week to drink more water and as a result I’ve noticed the headaches I’ve been having are getting better! I know I’ve been dehydrated and really forcing myself to drink more water is the key to some of the issues I’ve been experiencing.
Actually it has went very well I’ve only had one soda all week and haven’t really missed it honestly.Crystal light may be just what I needed to get off the sugar addiction I seem to be fighting with lately.It’s working for me so I’ll keep drinking it if my granddaughter will save me some that is she loves it also…
I am getting into more of a habit of drinking water.
I too feel much better!
I was drinking an average of 4 to 5 sodas a day. It was NOTHING for me to drink a 2-liter bottle in one day. I went cold turkey and feel GREAT! I am sleeping much better. My skin is clear. I have more energy and don’t feel and LOOK so BLOATED! I love Crystal Light Lemonade! I like the idea of having choices other than just plain water. Thanks for the encouragement!
Water ROCKS!! Crystal Lite is just like spikin’ the punch….it just makes water kick a bit better!
I’m doing better with the water – and enjoying Crystal Light Lemonade. (we don’t drink a lot of soft drinks at our house, anyway – just a lot of COFFEE! And we can tell how many Dr. Peppers our son has by the number of pimples on his face. Not good for you!)
This is yummy: big glass of unsweetened iced tea – stir in a lemonade Crystal Light packet.
I started off well but got back on the diet dr. pepper kick over the weekend. I’ll give it another try because I do think I sleep better and feel better when I drink water.
It’s tough to switch from a beverage you love.. but I keep making the effort.
I feel better too!! Thanks for the headsup about Crystal Light! It makes drinking water sooo much easier!
I was a big time coca cola drinker before I started drinking water so much – it really does make a huge difference in the way you feel and in your skin. I have a huge thick plastic glass with a handle that holds 4 cups of water – I got it at Dollywood of all places in 1986 when I bought a soda and have hung on to that plastic glass ever since – it has now become my favorite water glass and I keep it filled with ice water and at my side all day long. Everybody in this house knows it’s “hand’s off Mom’s Dollywood cup” – ha. Ya gotta hand it to whomever makes those glasses for Dollywood – 22 years old and except for the print having worn off the front it’s the perfect huge water cup.
I have gone from 2 to 3 diet drinks a day to drinking only water and water with Crystal Light. I feel so much better, and have lost a few lbs. in the process.
My husband is a truck driver and has started taking the crystal light with him to put in his bottled water.
I can tell a big difference in my energy level. Crystal Light adds a great flavor to water. I have a hard time drinking plain water unless it is “ice water” but Crystal Light works great with that problem! Thanks!
I have been drinking more water but still not enough,I used to buy the bottled crystal light but they quit selling it in our area. I will have to get me some packets to try different flavors. I really need to give up my carbonated pop, I drink way too much of it, and I have tons of trouble sleeping.
I have saved money at work this week by drinking water with crystal light vs. soda out of the vending machine.
OK…showing up for confession…I drank some water…but forgot to grab me some crystal light this past week….and beings how I only shop weekly…I had to wait till today to grab me some. I VOW to do better this week…and drink lots more water. Thanks for the boost to work towards a healthier lifestyle. Ü
I’ve been drinking Crystal Light for about a week, weighed this morning and i’ve lost 3 lbs. not doing anything else different!!! not only do i feel better, not bloated at all, but the taste is great. i’ve tried several different flavors. keep up the good work, christie!
Congrats to the first winner! Thanks again Christy & Crystal Light for this awesome contest. I have cut myself down to nearly 1 Diet Coke a day and the rest of the time I’m pushing myself to drink more water. I eventually want to get up to half my body weight in ounces of water I drink a day. This has been a great motivation!!
Nothing quenches thirst like water…except, maybe Crystal Light mixed with water!!
This past week I’ve gone from drinking virtually no water (except what’s in my coffee) to 3 bottles of water a day. I use the individual packets of Crystal Light Cherry pomegranate flavor. It’s so good! I can definitely tell a difference. I have much more energy. BUT…as a hospice nurse, trying to find a bathroom in rural Alabama is not fun!
I have really cut back on my diet coke intake this week. I have allowed myself one a day….. The first few days were really hard, I really felt down, headache and all. I think it was from the lack of caffeine I was addicted to. But the last few days were alot better. Seem to stay in the bathroom more! LOL!!
I love my water!
Crystal Light makes drinking water possible!! LOL, at least for me! It really does make a HUGE difference when I drink more H2O.
I weighed in at WW today and lost 5 pounds!! Drinking more water and less Diet Coke was key.
Hello Christie! The Crystal Light Peach Tea has helped me quit drinking so much sweet tea. I know I don’t need all that sugar with diabetes in my family, and the Peach Tea is awesome. I keep the individual packettes at work instead of going to the soda machine. So, I’m saving money, drinking more water and feeling better in general. This was a smart change to make! Take care, Kathy
OMG…this week at my food store, they were practically GIVING away Crystal Light resealable vacation packs…3 in the package for 25 cents! I bought 40! I doubled up on water and Crystal Light this week and gave up pop completely. For the first time in a loooooonnnggg time, my rings are actually loose on my fingers. How wonderful! I also discovered that I could mix half Crystal Light and half club soda and have a WONDERFUL sparkling beverage! Thanks for letting me share!
I have been drinking more “straight” water this week… keeping a running tally on my Food Journal. We just started a Biggest Loser contest at work… whatever helps me loose!!
i have been able to almost cut out soda and replace it with water and i feel a lot better.
I have a lot more energy drinking water instead of sweet tea(my weakness). I like the fruit punch Crystal Light it is my favorite!
if i keep drinking my kidneys are going to rust.sleep deprived from having to go to the bathroom so much.but i have now seen the light
crystal light.
I love water and crystal light, my skin looks so much healthier after drinking extra water this past week!! Thanks for the giveaway!!!
It has been a very hot ,humid past few days in SE Ohio so it was not hard to increase my water intake. I love the Crystal Lite in the peach tea flavor. Makes me feel like a Southern Belle on the veranda while I am really a hillbilly on the deck. Another little tip to make your drinks more appealing is to put them in a fancy glass. I have a pretty stemmed glass with some etching on it and I just love the effect of drinking out of it so much more than a plastic tumbler. It just makes me feel more feminine and special. As a sidelight-I think I had to buy more toilet tissue this week. LOL.
Drinking more water has made me feel much more awake during the day instead of wanting to take a nap!
I’ve been drinking the lemonade crystal light, but reading these comments makes me eager to try the peach tea.
The biggest difference for me has been that I am not as hungry, and I have way more energy!!!
With Crystal Light, it was not hard to get in the required H2O!
I did so-so this week. I do love the crystal lite though, and need to do better next week!
I haven’t done well this week. With the kids going back to school, I was busy and forgot to get my large glass that I should keep by my side at all times.
Drinking more water has really improved my weight loss challenge!!! I am so excited about adding more water in my diet!!
Go WATER Go!!!!
Didn’t do as well as I would have liked, but am down to 1 can DDP a day. Next, no more DDP, just WATER. Big leap…
Crystal Light really makes it easier to drink more water! I didn’t have any problems drinking more water and now make it habit to keep a water bottle with me at all times!
I did great with my water intake and find that I prefer water or Crystal Light to drinking a coke anyway. As a matter of fact, I’m having a big glass of ice water while I surf the Internet!
Cyrstal Light Peach Mango Green Tea is the best! I can’t go a day without having it. I love it. Not to mention it helps boost metabolism. Crystal Light on the go packets have definately got me off of soda and drinking more water than I ever did. Thanks Crystal Light!
I love water!!! But to change it up Crystal Lite is the way to go. I love the lemonade when its hot.
I just love Crystal Light Pink Lemonade well … because it is so southern if I may say, and refreshing. And then there is Rasberry Lemonade and Strawberry Kiwi. Oh me I just can’t decide.
I feel I did pretty good this week. I know I should drink more water, but I wasn’t drinking as much as I should because of the blah taste. With Crystal Light I am drinking more water and enjoying it more too.
Thanks for getting me to drink more water and much less diet coke.
I have been drinking more and more water every day. Love the flavors and the ease of using Crystal Light. Only problem is my oldest is finishing my pitcher and doesn’t fill it back up. Bad Boy. LOL
Actually has been good, but still need to work on drinking even more. Missing caffeine has been a little tough, gives me headaches from withdrawls, but in the long run I will feel much better. Do miss my sugary sweet tea though.
Congrats to last week’s winner!!:)
You remind me of myself with the insomnia issues-My mind seems to never want to shut off either lol
Well, my water intake went well, except that I got the flu this past week and was miserable!!!:( Although I still drank alot of water, I mostly drank gingerale, warm of course.
I am almost recovered. The $500 gift card sure could come in handy about right now lol
Thanks for the chance & I LOVE your blog!!!
No more bloat! Yay!
Hi!!!
I’ve gone from 2 glasses a day to 8-10, this is a lot for me, but you’ve been an inspiration, thanks!!!
I’ve done my water fast, I’ve lost 5 kilos, my lichen has improved and i feel lighter, I’m continuing drinking a lot of it!!
We used to always drink Coke with dinner, but have started to only have water. It’s a lot cheaper, but we can also definitely tell a difference – it’s much easier to sleep without the caffeine, so we’re sleeping better!
My household has increased our water intake from 1-2 bottles a day to about 5-7. It’s just two of us, but we go through about 2 cases of water a week!
Love the Crystal Light go packets! Classic Orange is my favorite. I still have my Diet Dr. Pepper in the morning but I am doing better drinking the water for the rest of the day thanks to Crystal Light. It is amazing how much better I sleep with out all that caffeine in my system!
I am loving water more and more although, I do crave tea several times a day. I love sending Crystal Light to go packets to my daughter who lives overseas and drinks tons of bottled water! Thanks Christy for the giveaway!
I’ve been making an effort to drink more water during the day and like many others, I feel the many benefits. I use Crystal Light at home but I plan to buy the packets to stash in my desk to use at work. My family’s favorite is ‘Sunrise’ – yummy! My 3 year old loves it too!
No more sodas in our house!!! I have been cutting down on buying sodas for the kids(I don’t drink the stuff). Since taking the challenge with you, I haven’t had to buy any, the dd&ds LOVE “My Crystal Light”. I did have to purchase more if that, but that’s fine with me. I think we have all been happier and more energetic since giving up the sugar drinks. Thank you for the challenge!!
I have been drinking 4-5 bottles of water with the crystal light fruit punch packet this week. I love it! I feel a whole lot better.
I started Crystal Light about 3 weeks ago and I love the taste. I needed something to make me drink more water. This is helping me to cut back on my caffeine- I love the taste of coffee but now that I am older, it makes me shaky. Thank you Christy for all the great and interesting things you do! Blessings to you and your family!
P.S. This is the quote I found in a magazine article-:The Best There Is, it was in the middle of a sentence and the word jumped out at me. I got to thinking who is the the Best there is?
“Jesus is the Best There Is”
Crystal Light has replaced soft drinks at my place and since I have sleep apnea I always have empty distilled water gallon jugs so I can make a few flavors at a time and keep in the fridge. It’s the best way to get more water in my diet and to end those night time hunger pangs. I start every morning with my Alabama Tervis Tumbler filled with a “tea” version and also have a water bottle with the orange sunrise mixed in for the drive to work too!!!!
I have concentrated on trying to drink 64 oz of water daily, and it is helping tremendously with my weight loss effort. If I get hungry, I chug a bunch of water and wait a while to see if I was really hungry, or just “empty”.
I am really trying to drink more water, too! I have had kidney stones (yikes!) in the past, and the doctor said to DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER!!!! So now….I only have one coke/tea a day. After that – it is water! You would think I could lose weight…..ha!

Years ago Pat Robertson of the 700 Club had his ministry do a study on their employees, taking away carbonated regular and diet drinks. The employees took less sick days, had higher energy, less headaches, and felt better overall. It was a very interesting study and convinced me to quit drinking sodas. I probably don’t drink one a month. I love water and green tea, and feel MUCH BETTER when that’s all I drink. I have more energy, and constantly receive compliments on how good my skin looks. Haven’t done Crystal Light for awhile, but you’ve sold me on getting some. I do enjoy it. By-the-way, now when I do drink a diet soda, I feel draggy! Blessings,
The Crystal Light packets have definitely helped in my efforts to drink more water & less diet Coke. The diet Coke cans in the refrig are dwindling down to none, and I’m going to try not to buy any more. I’m hoping the the Crystal Light Energy packets will help…can’t wait to try them!!
I have actually been on a drink more water kick for about two years now. At work we have an ice machine in the kitchen and a filtered water dispenser next to my office. I have all but eliminated caffeine from my diet. I sleep so much better at night. If I “accidentally” drink a caffinated beverage I can tell a difference in how I sleep. I hope I will not be eliminated since I have been doing it longer than a week.
I thought I was drinking a lot of water – I was wrong, and now I’ll never go back. Same experience with you for sleeping, Christy.
My family loves Crystal Lite! It is all my kids drink! They like the orange, strawberry, and banana flavor. We call it “pink drink”! All their friends have come to enjoy it too. They know when they are at our house they get “pink drink” to drink! I am going to try the water challenge today! I know it will work wonders!
Hi, Christy and Friends!
I do like Crystal Light, a lot.
Don’t know if it’s nationwide, but here in Ohio, we can get really delicious Crystal Light White Grape. Oh, it is SO good.
Lawrence
Here in my office, we have an ample supply of carbonated beverages, both diet and otherwise, but we also have bottled water so I keep several individual packets of Crystal Light in my desk and purse. Makes my day MUCH better when I refrain from the carbonation and helps me keep from too much snacking as well. I’m a very ardent fan of Crystal Light
I definitely needed to drink more water this week. We had to do inventory in the warehouse at work and it was over 85 degrees. I kept drinking and drinking. Unfortunately, no matter how much I drank it wasn’t enough to keep me properly hydrated. I did make sure it was flavored so it went down nice and smooth and kept me focused.
I went to get my weekly Crystal light slurpee from 7/11..and drank a TON of water. I get the slurpee once a week. Makes me feel like I’m not so alone in the diabetes thing ya know?
I am so encouraged! I gave up pop, soda, and carbonated beverages!
I’s been a week, and I’ve not been as tempted as I thought I would to stray. I am looking forward to feeling the health benefits that you all describe.
Thanks!
Drinking water just makes me feel GOOD! Fills me up – keeps me from over-snacking! Thanks for your encouragement!!
I’m 9 months pregnant and drinking lots of water is very important. I get headaches if I don’t drink enough water. I also figure that drinking lots of water will keep my amniotic fluid at the right level.
I love Crystal Light iced tea, by the way!

We love Crystal Light in our house. I dump the “on the go” packs into a basket by the refrigerator, so it is easy to grab one when you get your water. Another reason I love the so much, is because of my name of course Crystal Leight (pronounced Light). I married this name and have come to love the little laughs and comments I get when I meet new people. We even gave it away at our wedding as a favor and joke.
How beautiful you are. I am a Dr Pepper lover and drinker and I drank tooooo many in a day. I now only have one a day and working on that. Water really fills me up so I am loving that. I use the Crystal Light for bottled water.
Love your blog!
I am not a soda drinker at all. Crystal Light makes the water so much tastier to drink. I have actually went up in my water intake last week and I am continuing with it. I am not as tired or dragging around in the day. A little pick me up minus the caffiene.
I have been enjoying Crystal Light all week- it’s so much better for my energy level than the diet cola I usually drink. Thanks for the Crystal Light challenge!
Yes Christy, I am a cokeaholic-I have reduced the caffine in my system by over80% and the way is WATER! I crave it now! Luv it and cannot frink enough!
Thanks for the Chrystal Light challenge this past week Christy!
I am feeling better and sleeping better also. Using CL sure does make it easier to get in the proper amount of water for the day.
I haven’t tried the CL Energy ones yet, but am going out today to find some. Sometimes you do need a little hit of caffeine in the system, ya know?! Thanks again, for the encouragement…
I feel more hydrated, less bloated and more energetic when I drink more water.
I’m feeling great! Now, if I can just get my children to drink more!
I have a 36 oz. water bottle that I keep on my desk at work. I’m trying to drink one per day in addition to other beverages. I mixed up a pitcher of Crystal Light Pink Lemonade last weekend to have in the evening instead of a sugar-free coke!
I love Crystal Light and used to drink it years ago. I have now started drinking it again and it is so much more refreshing than my diet softdrinks! My kids are loving it too and I love seeing them drink more water too!
Drinking water makes my skin look so much better! And I also just feel better because water doesn’t give me a “bloated” feeling.
Right after I signed up to drink more water – my doctor diagnosed me with mitro valve prolapse and told me the best thing to do to never have it bother me is to stay fully hydrated and drink water or crystal light. How’s that for devine intervention.
My family loves the Crystal Lite Lemonade. Buy bottled water and Crystal Lite they love it!
Crystal Light is AWESOME! I use it when water is too boring to drink. I find myself wanting a Diet Coke and I grab a Crystal Light Peach Mango Tea. Wow it is amazing! I don’t even think about the coke anymore. It is definately much healthier and I don’t feel as guilty as when I have carbonation. The Liv Active Crystal Lights are a great way to sneak in extra fiber.
Since pledging to drink more water, I have definitely noticed a difference in how I feel. Soda makes me feel sluggish and blah, but the water makes me feel rejuvenated and energized. Thanks for the motivation.
Well I had such good intentions when I first said I was going to try the drinking more water. I did good on the day I mowed the yard as having cold water aready in a convient bottle waiting was an easy one but the rest of the time I fell off the wagon. After taking the great step on my scales, um let’s say I am getting more motivation than I needed to drink more water and stay away from the sweet tea. What kind of sweetners have you found Christy or readers that still leaves my southern tea I so love tasty, and I am tempted to try unsweetened with lemon but think I might have to use double the amount of tea for the full flavor. Not sure which method will work but since I have hit an all time high in weight, I have to do something. So these post about water and Crystal Light have great meaning to me.
I have replaced all my eating out beverages with water…I almost have my husband doing the same thing… I have always loved the taste of iced water.
I love the Crystal Light Lemonade. It is a refreshing break from soft drinks. I have had up and down days with my water intake this week. Hoping to make today an up day
I try to always drink water…but I sure am missing my sweet tea!
I’m trying to drink lots of water. I’m also makeing sure my grandchildren are drinking more water since they are here every day with me. They love Crystal Light and they don’t even know that they are getting more water.
I never knew peeing could be a pastime.
Christy, with your encouragement, I will set out to drink more of the Crystal Light packets that are in my cupboard. I do like the taste, I just need to remember to prepare it! Thanks, Lady!
I felt less guilty because it was less sugar and calories, but I will never be able to give up Cokes entirely. The Crystal Light was great though, getting me to enjoy drinking more water.
I am so obsessed with Crystal Light’s Cherry/Pomegranate drink that it’s now hard for me to imagine a time before drinking 8 glasses of water a day. I quit drinking soda completely and have not only lost weight but feel better and don’t miss it at all.
I drink a half gallon of Crystal Light Decaf Lemon Tea a day! I love the stuff. It is much better than plain water but I still have to have my morning Dt. Coke for a boost of caffeine in the mornings!
Drinking 8 glasses of water a day has always been a struggle with me. Of course, in the summer I usually find it less difficult, but this summer in New England has been different and it has been so wet that adding more water has not seemed appealing! I have been using Crystal Light, as I have been a big fan for years and now that they have the green tea with antioxidants I even feel better about drinking my Crystal Light. I carry the small individual packets in my purse and keep a box in my desk at work. I always have a picture of Crystal light in the frige.
One of the biggest things I always notice when I am properly hydrated in the glow and moist look of my skin, especially on my face. You can put all sorts of moisturizers on your face but if you are not hydrated on the inside it is not as effective. My skin feels great. I also enjoy a good nights sleep when I drink my 8 and since I run/walk, combined with stretching, it eliminates those leg cramps!
I love my Crystal Light!!
Hey, Christie! Hubby and I had to work outside in the heat yesterday and the day before, building shelves in a storage shed. Having the Crystal Light and cold water in the fridge really saved our lives! Hope you have a great day!
I LOVE our well water and drinking it over any bottled water! I have enjoyed Crystal Light for many many years. It goes just right with our country well water.
I truly believe drinking all that water, eating our fresh home grown vegetables, lots of honest hard work have kept our family out of doctor offices for over 30 years. Rarely sick. Thank goodness!
I drank a whole lot of water and Crystal light when I read about this giveaway because that $500 would be exactly the amount we need for that new tractor tire on our ole Case farm tractor!
I talking about lots of water. I think even Jack the donkey and Miracle Eve the spoiled goat would drink to that!
Have a great day.
Pam
Just watched your video. Want to try Texas Caviar. Sure could use a $500 gift certificate.
Still drinking water. Still doing the Crystal Light slurpees at 7/11. Those things will wake you up for sure. Pretty strong flavors. Good Stuff Maynard!
I grew up in Germany on carbonated water. you can purchase that here everywhere but since the 90’s there is a neat caget called a soda club (now in the states too but much more expensive than here in Germany) where you can carbonate your own water. I use my tap since we have great water here. Drink it all day long and the fiz just makes me not miss a flavored soda at all.

It has gone GREAT! I will never love water, my goal is to like it. If that ever happens I will be one happy camper. I do feel much, much better. Great challenge!
Relaxing and enjoying my strawberry Crystal Light!!
I have been drinking water a lot more this week. I can feel the difference. If I have a soda around, I tend to want one of them but I am doing better by not drinking as many.
It’s been hard, but I’ve managed to stick with water-only all week. The Crystal Light energy was a great idea! Hopefully I can keep this up after the week’s over.
I love Crystal Light!!! My favorite is the Orange Sunriser…it gets me going every day!
I feel (and look) so much better when I’m getting all my water in. And $500 would make a lovely 36th wedding anniversary gift for my sweet husband and me – since the drawing date is on our anniversary!
Hi Christy….I’m also trying to drink more water each day and I love Crystal Light!! My favorite flavors are pink lemonade and the fruity punch one……and sometime I drink the Orange Sunrise with my breakfast! I don’t drink very many sodas anyway, but I definitely need to have more water!!….btw, love your blog!!
Hi Christy!
I just recently started trying to lose the extra weight I had gained throughout my past two pregnancies. I have never been an avid water drinker and was looking for a way to solve that problem. That is when I looked into Crystal Light. I absolutely love it! I have exceeded the 8-10 glasses of water required a day. I have been purchasing the Strawberry Banana…The one that Curbs Hunger! It really does work!
Drinking more water gives me more energy. Thanks for the challenge.
My daughter has just kicked the soda habit and has really been after me to give them up too. I haven’t started yet but my next trip to the grocery store will be to get Crystal Light. I know I need to do this for my health, I consume entirely too much sugar.
I feel a lot better after drinking Crystal Light instead of soft drinks… no headaches! Yay!
I quit drinking soda and switched to water. I feel allot better and my skin has cleared considerably! I am going to try Crystal light the next time I go to the store.
I don’t drink carbonated beverages.
I love Crystal Light, but question the artificial sweetener.
I try not to eat anything with that ingredient in it because
have been reading about the not-so-good medical aspects of it.
I feel drinking most of my water intake during the day before I get to Sneek in a soda helps me most days not want one. There is a occasional day I crave a soda.. but hey.. if your living right most of the time we can have our little vices.
cant we??
Drinking more water makes me feel better. My Husband and I started
drinking more water the first of July and walking everynight. Our son lost 30 lbs and what he gave up was pop and only drank water and ran a mile every night. You know after you have been with out pop for a week or so you don’t miss it. When you think your hungrey get a bottle of water, you might not be hungrey, you could be thristy.
Drinking more water makes me feel so much more alert. I am a massage therapist and I add crystal light to my water to give it a little pizazz.
Drinking more water has helped me in a few ways….
its gives me more energy to play with my kiddos
it helps me lose weight, because I’m not ingesting empty calories
it helps my skin not be so dry and itchy all the time
and it helps me not get any more kidney stones!
I live in Arizona, where its 124 sometimes in the summer… I totally appreciate the value of water. And a flavoring in it, like Crystal Light totally helps, because I don’t like the taste of tap water!
I had actually not been drinking much water lately….but when this little reminder about pleding to drink more crystal light was brought to my attention…I thought yeah I used to drink alot of that…so I had pledged to myself that I needed to buy some and get back on the kick….so thanks to your sponsorship…it kinda pushed me back on the straight and narrow….ha! So here I am back drinking my crystal light…thanks for the little boost!
I loved reading your post because it is similar to what has happened to me since I “discovered” Crystal Light packs. As a lifelong diet drink addict, I hardly ever tried anything else to drink. I tried one one day because that was all that was available. Before I knew it, I was drinking more and more Crystal Light and eventually I stopped drinking soda completely. I wasn’t even trying to cut it out but before I knew it, I was completely into Crystal Light. I love it! The new White Peach Tea is my latest fave!
We drink tons of crystal light lemonade at our house. YUM YUM
Water water water …equals flush the fat.lol
Well my water drinking didn’t go as well as I’d hope due to a two year old who loves to play in it. More than once I found a car or some other little toy floating in my glass of water like it was in a arctic temperature pool. Maybe this week will go better.
I’m always feel so much better when I remember to drink water. Unfortunately, I’m really bad at reaching for a coke or tea instead of water when I’m thirsty. I’ve done better lately and I hope to keep the trend going!
It does make a huge difference in my skin when I do increase my water intake. I just need to be make sure I keep at it. The colder the better for me!
I feel so much better when I drink more water. I am just in a bad habit of grabbing a coke of some kind. I love water so I’m one that likes it just habit of grabbing the other. when I drink more water I can tell the difference in my complextion and in how I feel in general.
Thanks for all your great recipes !
I finally have the whole family drinking more water! If I am not reaching for the Coke Zero, I am much more likely to grab water or crystal light. As a result, my girls are drinking a lot more water too.
So, I need to provide an update… Since I have been incorporating water in my diet. I am noticing more weight loss AND my skin complexion is clearer. I am not a person that drinks a lot of water so this is really a true challenge for me. I am so happy I incorporated MORE water in my diet.
I’m not a coke (any carbonated beverage, LOL) drinker, but I drink iced tea all day long.
I have been drinking ice water with my meals lately. I haven’t noticed much of a change, so I should probably do this more often.
Sure hope to win the $500! Our daughter just started college!
p.s. Thanks for all you do. You have such a great site, & wonderful recipes. I love making your Elvis Cake, butterfinger cake, & also southern steak & milk gravy. Yum!
DRINKING MORE WATER AND ADDING CRYSTAL LIGHT , THE HEALTHY DELICIOUS WAY TO GO!
Yikes…I can’t remember if I signed up again or not…if I did disregard this one please. I love Crystal Light…and have done better this week with it too.
Ü
I have used Crystal Light for some time. Grandkids like it to
I have been drinking more water and have lost 3 lbs. I’m not even hungry when I drink more water, which is a real bonus. That’s the downside to dieting–you feel so hungry that you end up eating more than you usually do even. I love the Crystal Light Peach Tea. I don’t usually order tea out as I don’t like bitter tea and you never know what it is going to be like, but you can count on Crystal Light always being really good.
Water has given me such a big energy increase. I used to drink coke all the time and was ALWAYS tired.
I love Crystal light! Dang I am gettin so old I cant remember if I posted or snot. But I love you on tv. Drinkin all this water I guess I better just go on and get me some Depends. I wonder how big they make them things? Love you and this site!!!!
Hey christy…
Been drinking water for years…. I do drink a big class when I’m feeling hungry during the evenings….. Besides that it’s good to do when it’s so hot and humid during the summer months…
Blessings to you and yours…
Linda
Thanks for your encouragement to drink more water. I feel so much less bloated and not craving as many sweets as I did before. I have more energy, too! Love you site!
I have a hard time drinking anything! So I am trying really hard to fill a pitcher everyday and finish it before the day is over. When I use Crystal Light it is usually the lemonade!
I love too drink water now because, I use to drink alot of sodas and ice tea, which is not all that good for you. So now I put Crystal light in water too give it a different flavors. Grandkids love the differt colors and taste. I started drinking water with Crystal light at work. It seemed to give me more energy.
Sadly, I’ve fallen off the waterwagon…. back to sweet tea and coffee…. but I’m GONNA get better! Really! That iced tea flavor Crystal Light will be a BIG help!
I’ve upped my water intake by making a pitcher of Crystal Light and getting it icy cold from the refrigerator.
Crystal Light makes it so easy to drink lots of water!
I learned to drink water when on one of those miracle diets, the diet worked as long as I starved, but I have to tell you the habit of drinking the water stayed with me. Water quinches my thirst better then anything else liquid. The habit of drinking water has never left, and yes I do enjoy Cystal Lite on the Go…Raspberry or Lemon. I have some deep health problems and each doctor tells me, drink plenty of water, its a life saver. I have had Gastric ByPass surgery 4 years ago and I am able to drink more water now, at first it was teeny tiny sips, and oh how I missed it…but I am still drinking my water
I love the idea of sleeping better. I’ve been having bouts of insomnia lately. This week has been much better!
We are still drinking plenty of the Crystal Light pink lemonade each day. Also, I cooked your “grilled” chicken tenderloins yesterday for lunch and they were delicious! I have really enjoyed this recipe and have shared it with several people! It is one of our favorites. My guests enjoyed them, too!
I got some Crystal Light Lemonade this afternoon. Can’t wait to try some tomorrow.
I have never been a fan of soda & drinking Crystal Light is such a nice treat instead of drinking plain water!
I’ve been drinking my water more for the last couple of weeks. I mix the Crystal Lite Lemonade and Strawberry together. I have a hard time drinking just water without it. I have cut back to almost no colas.
My husband has to stay hydrated with water due to problems with kidney stones. Since he is constantly drinking water it encourages me to do the same. We are amazed at how much money we save just by drinking water when we go out to eat. Crystal Light was a life saver for me when I was pregnant this summer and knew I needed to drink water but didn’t really want it that often!
Crystal Light Lemonade is my favorite and I have been drinking it for years. I buy the individual bottles of spring water, drink a few gulps of the plain water and then add the lemonade mix to the bottle. For some reason I have always had a hard time drinking a whole glass of water, let alone 8-10 glasses, whether plain or with the mix…so I play games with my mind and drink the individual bottles of water and end up getting more than my daily requirment of hydration. (know it sounds silly as I’m nearly 70 but it works.) I try to drink 8-10 of these bottles a day and always feel blah if I fall below that amount.
thanks to you no more cokes for me
I’ve had a great week drinking more water. I have more energy and feel much healthier! I plan to continue to drink mostly water (with Crystal Light) from now on =)
As a diabetic, the more water I drink the better off my sugar levels are … so Chrystal Lite is a wonderful change and a great way to keep the water going int… Thanks for all the suggestions..
Joann in Oklahoma
Water always makes me feel better. If I don’t drink enough during the day, I can really tell the next morning. The flavorings help my little guy drink more too. He loves Momma’s “juice”
I love ice cold water and as a Type 2 Diabetic, it’s a good thing! I do try to drink a good bit everyday and using Crystal Light is a good way to get lots of water!
Mary Sue / Birmingham, AL
I’ve been trying to drink more water this week – something I’ve needed to do for a long time! Love the Crystal Light lemonade to add to my bottles of water for a change.
I’ve had a great week enjoying ice cold water! I keep a tall glass of water & ice on the the kitchen counter and drink from it every time I pass by.
Kathy
Hey there! *smiles & waves*
I thought I posted and I may have(there are tons of posts!) It never hurts to make certain when a giveaway is involved, though.
I feel I have been terrible about drinking more water, however, I suppose if you count non-caffeinated or carbonated beverages I have done okay.
Christy,
I was so dehydrated I was beginning to get really sick, you know, headaches, tired, tummy troubles. Then I started drinking more water and Crystal Lite, Immunity Flavor, Cherry Pomagranite. And I feel so much better, I have more energy and I don’t feel so sick.
Keep Drinking, water that is!
With the high temps we’ve been experiencing here in Texas, a cold glass of Crystal Light Lemonade sure hits the spot. I have a gallon in the frig right now.
Love Crystal Light, and I drink it everyday. It is so refreshing and not sickening sweet like some types.
We’ve purchased a Brita water pitcher, its so much easier to drink water now and i love the peach tea and lemonade, the kids think it cool to use the “filtered water picher”
I’m not sure if someone has already given this idea, but I’m making ice cubes out of the same Crystal Light flavor I’m drinking. If the day is especially hot or if when I decide to pour a large bottle of it to take with me, the melted ice cubes won’t water down my drink. You can also drink Crystal Light Lemonande and make Crystal Light Strawberry ice cubes. Of course it’s not as good as making Christy’s StrawberryAde, but it’ll do : )
My son is VERRRRY picky & Crystal Light has made my “summer” life so much easier! I use the “on the go” tubes all the time – so much easier than carrying around bottles of juice just to get hot. He also loves the Crystal Light popsicles from Granny’s. It goes without saying that having a picky 2 year old means you’re going to adjust your eating/drinking habits and my new favorite is Raspberry Ice – I don’t know how much better I’ve felt since making this change, but it sure has made my days easier in one aspect – happy boy/happy mama!
Hey, Christy! We’ve had a great week drinking more water and Crystal light lemonade. This week we’re going adventurous~Tropical Punch! Have a great day!
“Water, water everywhere and not a drop” – oops – water, water EVERYWHERE and lots and lots to drink.
Love the quotes – thanks for sharing.
Have a GREAT day.
Judy
this week was pink lemonade…. not sure why, but i had headaches this week bad ( i get migraines) loved the taste but hated the headaches!!!
Still drinking my water! Thanks for encouraging us!!
I happen to love water so drinking it is not a hard thing for me. However, several years ago my husband was having problems with heartburn. At that time, we probably consumed a 2 liter bottle of pop (from the North!)everyday. Besides coffee, that was all we drank. We went to a seminar about water and abruptly changed our drinking habits! Water was the winner! My husband noticed that his heartburn issue dissolved after just a few days of drinking water and getting rid of the pop. Now we are avid ‘water drinkers’. When we occasionally indulge in some pop, we notice a great difference. We try to take water with us everywhere we go!
I’ve been drinking CL from the first day it hit the market shelves…love the new CL metabolism + Peach Mango Green Tea flavor..carry a packet in my purse and add to a bottle of 16.9 fl oz of water for refreshing drink on the go. Try it you’ll like it.
Drinking water also helped with my heartburn–and seriously cut down the grocery bill since I am no longer buying tons of Mt. Dew and Dr. Pepper–although I am getting up more at night–hopefully that won’t last much longer.
One thing I’ve noticed is that I’m not experiencing cravings nor do I have the urge to snack. I just feel better. It’s amazing what having the proper amount of water in your system can do!
Beth aka oneoldgoat
Hey Christy.
Ya know – I’ll be honest. I don’t drink water very often.
I don’t like the taste of it. (”what – you can taste water?”) Yes – its nasty.
The only time I do drink water is when I mix in something to go with it. All the flavors of CL that I have tried are really good.
I guess I just need that extra motivation to drink more water.
Anyway – thanks for all you do for us!
You truly are a southern Gem!!
Love
Amber
Pick me pick me! I love Crystal Light but it’s so expensive. If I had the five hundred dollars I could go on down to Publix and buy some.
I love Crystal Light Peach Tea! I always have a pitcher of it in my fridge. I notice when I drink more water, I definitely feel fuller, which is great because I am on a diet. I just put the Energy packets on my grocery list, have to try those!!
I try to drink at least 64 oz of water a day. If I skip a day, I feel different. Just goes to show me how much I need water!
Have a good week!
Lesley in Alabama
I love the convenience of the Crystal Light packets to put in my bottled water. I want to get the wild strawberry energy packets. yummy
Just cant get myself to drink water by itself but flavoring it makes it just right and I will drink it instead of a soda!
LOVE THAT CRYSTAL LIGHT!!!!!!!!!! WATER IS SO MUCH BETTER FOR YOU AND THIS WAY IT TASTES SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, too much water makes my interstitial cystitis act up, so…. I have to stick with little sips here and there
Without my water and crystal light this week,I probably would have passed out in the yard cutting grass. I was feeling really weak. I grabbed my bottle of water and strawberry crystal light and boy that saved my life. Thank you crystal light.
I love Crystal Light and have found somewhat of a unique use for it? I take the On the Go packs in my purse, and when out for the evening with friends I’ll order a tall glass of club soda. Dump one in and I’m having a wonderful “mocktail”!
My week of drinking water was great… but with Crystal Light it got even better
Christy,
You have discovered my secret! I have been drinking Crystal Light for about 10 years and love it. I hate plain water and Crystal Light allows me to get the hydration I need each day. Love it!!
Carol Smith
Woah, I love Susan’s idea of taking the to go packets with me to a restaurant and plopping that stuff into a glass of club soda …even just water would be great and cheap alternative for 2 bucks for a glass of tea! Cant wait to stock up on CL in all the great new flavors…new to me anyway! I’m sure my complexion and sleeping have improved since I made a deliberate effort to increase my water! Great ideas!
I can tell that drinking more water has made my daily workout much more enjoyable. I feel like I have more endurance and I hardly have any more annoying muscle cramps.
I have taken the Crystal Light challenge with you and I cannot believe how wonderful I feel …. and I think I may have lost a little weight along the way:) Yea!!!! But I feel so much better … thank you for the challenge. My family loves crystal light and we are all drinking more water!!! Thank you!
Have a blessed day!
Tammy
My family gobbles Crystal Light, but I’ll need that $500 just to afford it!
While I have always drank a lot of water this week was incrediable. I usually drink it plain or with slices of lemon and had never tried Crystal Lite, gasping in horror. Well to make a long story short I didn’t know what I was missing. It is soooooooooo very good and I drank a lot more water. Good tasting and good for you, it’s a win win.
I gave up my 6 regular cokes per day habit in January 2007 and switched to water. I have coffee in the morning…but the rest of the day I drink water. I initially made the change in an effort to lose weight. It helped tremendously. I still dream about my regular cokes….but I know if I have just one….I will fall off the wagon. I can honestly say I enjoy and crave water now.
I can drink much more ice water than I can soda or other beverages and like to keep a tall glass of nearby. I use to drink one to two cans of soda per day but my dental hygienist said even diet sodas are bad for your teeth. It’s the acid in the sodas that you are bathing your teeth with every sip. I’m down to a soda every couple of days and have filled the difference with either ice water or Crystal Light’s Peach Tea. I feel better and I know I’m helping keep my teeth healthier.
Drinking more water….of course in fabulous flavors….has brought me more energy, smoother skin, and a radiant glow!!! And the gift of sharing with others, lots ask what I’m drinking, and I smile and share a packet
I agree with your post Christy regarding the sleep. That’s the biggest difference with me. Yes, I have more energy even though I probably am not getting as much caffine(which is a good thing)the sleep may be what I have been needing. I love the 2go packs for work and ballparks, but having the big pitcher in the frige is the handiest.
I start with a crystal light energy pack in my bottle of water and then I force myself to drink a plain bottle of water and keep rotating – if I stick to it I feel better, eat less, and ultimately it is helping me lose the last few lbs of baby weight I had gained!!!!
I have just found the little individual packets and am loving them! I am drinking more water cause I want more Raspberry in my day.
But I have to say last week’s colonoscopy had a suggestion of adding Crystal Light (lemonade) to the awful gallon drink – I only had raspberry (no red allowed in drink) so didn’t get to use the suggestion, but wonder, does it help that stuff? LOL!
I have been doing this 2 weeks and I am loving how I feel. Oddly enough my back pain is easing up too.
I have noticed a marked decrease in joint pain.
Crystal Light Pomegranate Lemonade is my favorite I can drink it all day. It has antioxidant vitamins and plant extracts to help nourish your skin so I get something extra in my water. Drinking plenty of H2O is a must where I live it is in the 90’s and very humid.
More energy! Clearer skin! Hooray for more water and Crystal Light!!!
I have found that I’m drinking more and other people in my family are starting to drink crystal light also.
Christy, I’ve noticed that I feel so much better when I make the effort to drink more water. It also makes me feel fuller at meal time so I eat less. Hooray for Crystal Light!
From Carol Ann
good ideas
Wow!! All of that water does make a difference in how you feel. I have my kids hooked on the go packs… We take them everywhere with us now… They love them!!
Way to cut back on the ‘carbonated beverages’ Christy!!
Staying hydrated does actually give you more energy. Crystal Light is a great way to drink more water when the plain stuff gets boring!
It does make you feel less hungry and more energy. There were hot days where I’d have a little headache, and I realized that it was because I was dehydrated. Haven’t felt that anymore!
I drink a lot of water and always have. I find when I have a headache, it’s usually because I’m low on my water consumption. I sit down and drink a few glasses and low and behold, my headache is gone. Good job Christy.
