Candace- yay! keep a sports bottle of water around all the time. they recommend 6 to 8 glasses (8 oz) of water a day. up to half of that can be decaf coffee or tea. For every serving of caffeinated beverage (coffee or cola), add one additional serving of water. (Caffeine is a diuretic, makes you lose water.) Also, consider bags of veggies for snacks - carrot sticks, bell pepper, etc. can be filling. -Ben
