lol, then I'm going to give you completely different advice, just to keep things interesting.
You DO need water, but you don't need to force yourself to drink glass after glass of water in order to lose weight. Remember that there is a lot of water in food you eat throughout the day (depending on what you eat, estimates I've seen range from 3-5 glasses worth), and other drinks that you might imbibe (coffee, diet coke-my favorite-, iced tea) also count as water.*
I usually add some "plain" (for me-I add crystal light) water during my workout just to cover what I lose through sweat, but I let my thirst take care of everything else. So far, it hasn't harmed my weight loss at all. (60 lbs as of this morning.
)
Plain water is great, there's a lot to be said for it, but it isn't some sort of magic cure-all that is going to shed the pounds. That only comes from eating right and exercise.
*A study conducted in Omaha of the water retention rate from drinking caffeinated vs. noncaffeinated drinks found that people accustomed to drinking caffeine retained the same amount of water from coffee or soda than from drinking noncaffeinated drinks. People who were not accustomed to caffeine were still able to retain the vast majority of water vs. noncaffeinated.
