try having them try propel or some kind of flavored water.. i used to never drink water but i love propel and if you have an aldis store they have their own generic kind and for like 6 bottles its like 3 something which is better than the full price of regular propel.. im trying to get back to where i drink one bottle a day and then after i finish the water then drink soda.. that way im def getting water in me but i can still have soda afterwards.. which is better than my soda all the time thing

I agree. I use Crystal Light. No sugar and very low calories. You can also try Fruit2O which is flavored water. I stay away from sodas and fruit juices. They are loaded with sugar. SUGAR = Very unhealthy!

i cant do fruit2o since it has splenda in it and splenda gives me kidney infections.. i rather have regular sugar than some creepy chemical crap but im also a person that if i have aspertame its like i drop acid and i start halucinating

My kids have always been good water drinkers because that's all that I really give them as kids - they only get one cup of juice a day and a few glasses of milk - but other than that just water. Try putting lemon in them for flavoring? My kids like to put lemon in their water just because my husband and I do and it makes them feel all grown up...but then again they are still very young in age - how old are your girls? You could try the flavored water like others have said - however, it can be expensive.
