I keep a 3 gallon plastic container on the counter with fresh water in it. It has a spout, so it is easy to dispense the water.
I would love to win this!

Hi, Another wonderful “SIGG” bottle. They are so great! I really don’t have to do anything to encourage my two sons to drink more water. They refill containers on their own. Both of them are so active, they want to drink water. Believe it or not, they hardly drink any
soda! Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

Yes, please! I fill up water bottles for each of us every morning, and encourage everyone to sip from theirs throughout the day. We currently have some Kleen Kanteens, but I’ve been wanting to try the Siggs.
I subscribed, so enter me two times, okay?
I’m giving away three items, so I hope you’ll come take a look!

I keep multiple water bottles filled in the fridge at all times — we all prefer our water super cold. And I keep my kids stocked with a water bottle to have on their desk at school. DH takes them in his lunch box to work now, and I carry mine around all day long (until it’s worn out and now I need a new one!)
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:15 am
the black is soo sleek, love it!
I added u to my reader, which is how i found that your day 2 giveaway was already up!
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:17 am
Oooh! Sigg bottles in the fridge — what a wonderful idea, JenniferB! TOTALLY going to try that!
I actually bought my son the pirate-flavored sigg for his birthday, just to encourage him to drink more water. It totally worked, too. If I win this sigg, I’d use it to “train” my hubby. =D
Great giveaway — thanks!
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:32 am
Well, I say, go drink some water. And I got a special pitcher for my 6 year old to pour her own water (our water dispenser doesn’t work on our frig).
Oh, and I keep some bottles filled with purified water by the door to grab when we go somewhere. They are glass, so a metal one is preferable with kids.

To be honest we are all big water drinkers at my house so not much encouraging is needed. It helps that we live in the desert though! I am trying to get everyone around here to use bottles like this instead of bottled water all of the time so this is something that will help greatly!

I carry a Nalgene bottle with me whereever I go, but of late I’ve become concerned with the plastic and hope to switch to metal (like the SIGG!) soon. The only times I drink beverages besides water are tea for breakfast and cranberry drink with dinner. Otherwise, it’s water, water, water!!!

An easy way to drink more water in my house is that I just don’t buy anything else. If I go to the market alone there is no “buy me this”.
April 22nd, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I’m supposed to be packing, but no, here I am trying to get a Sigg!
We use True Lemon and True Lime here to encourage water consumption. LOVE that stuff.
And, I’m subscribed. Because I want to be the first to know I won ALL of your Siggs!

I find that drinking out of a straw helps encourage me to drink more water…not sure why, maybe it’s just psychological…but the other big thing I’ve started doing is instead of asking my husband at dinner time what he wants to drink, I just fill both our glasses with water. Typically if we start with water, we finish with water - definitely a great thing for us! Thanks for the great giveaways - just LOVE these SIGG bottles!

When any of the children complain of a headache, water is my first answer. Really, any complaint gets the response, “Go drink a whole glass of water then we’ll see how you feel.”
April 22nd, 2008 at 12:57 pm
I used to be a really good water drinker but somehow got swayed away by sodas, etc….but now I’m back! I encourage myself by setting a goal of how many bottles of water to drink each day and then work away at it until I have gotten them in! And, really, it’s amazing that I’ve had to work at this because I really love water. PS - I refill the same bottle over and over, so this great SIGG bottle would be perfect for that! Thanks for the great give away!
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:08 pm
We purchase the big 5 gallon water bottle for everyone to drink. Since doing so, my family as drank more water than ever!

Ok, I have 3 boys so today’s bottle would be better for us than the floral, lol! Seriously, we are huge water drinkers. My middle son only drinks water and vanilla milkshakes! My youngest loves Coke, juice, etc. but we really limit those and encourage the boys to drink water. Their dad and I drink a ton to set a good example. I have been wanting to buy some of these Sigg bottles, but just have not yet. So please enter me, and I hope I win! Woo! Oh, and I really enjoy your blog, too.
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Water is the drink of choice at my house and everyone is in on the challenge of getting 8-10 8 oz glasses in a day. I find that exercising together gives you a great thirst and water hits the spot.
April 22nd, 2008 at 1:52 pm
We use reusable water bottles (but I now think they’re the potentially harmful kind) and take them everywhere with us…helps to drink more water! Oh, and I added you to my Google Reader!

Actually, it’s the opposite for us - my husband has to remind me to drink water during the day. And he’s pretty cute about it. He’ll call to say ‘hi’, and ask if I’ve had any water (we work out a lot, and he’s very conscious about rehydrating). He also makes sure we each have a glass of water with dinner at home.
Thanks for the great giveaway!! We love SIGG bottles.

One of the things we try to do is limit the number of other drinks in the house so that there is only water to drink. We do sometimes purchase juice or soda for a special evening or if we order pizza or something. I would love to be entered in your giveaway.
April 22nd, 2008 at 2:20 pm
It sounds basic, but my best tip is to not buy soda. I like it a lot better than water and I drink it if it’s in the house. When water is the only option, I drink a lot more. Funny how that works.

I’ve been drinking lots more water since becoming pregnant with our third child! I got a 32 oz. Nalgene and try to drink 64 oz. a day, a combination of water and pregnancy tea. Now I hear that the Nalgenes are not so good due to the chemical leaching, so I am hoping to upgrade to Siggs for all of us in the near future. Thanks for a great giveaway!

I remind myself constantly that I can’t be healthy unless I drink lots of water! So I have a huge glass that I constantly keep filled with water. But this bottle sure would make it easier to lug it around!!!! And my kids know that they drink water, except for special occasions… when it’s juice.

I pretty much only drink water at home and keep a bottle at work for during the day. I’ve been buying the pre-bottled water because it’s more convenient, but would love a cool bottle like this one to use instead of buying and throwing away all of those plastic ones. And to bring to the girls’ soccer games this spring - in fact, I’d probably hardly leave home without it.

I can’t tell you how much I would LOVE to have a SIGG water bottle. I have heard so many awesome things about them and with the food program I am on, I have to increase my water. This would be a GREAT way to help keep me motivated. As far as what I do to get my family to drink more water, I keep a jug of it in the fridge all the time — two in the summer. That way, when they open the fridge to get a drink, they grab the water before the other things such as soda, Kool-Aid or juice. Thank you for the opportunity to win such an awesome prize in the giveaway. I have added an RSS feed for/to your site for that extra entry! Good luck everyone!

Sigg is a solution.
Good luck to all.

April 23rd, 2008 at 1:36 am
my husband reminds me hourly/daily to drink more water
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:23 am
These are awesome! We do not have a problem with not drinking enough water. When my son was a toddler, he would drink 2-3 cups of water every night (not to mention what he would drink all day.) so he would wet through his diaper every night. I just give the kids cups on the counter everyday, and they refill them as needed. Thanks for the giveaway!

What I do to encourage my family to drink water is simple: fill the bottle. I make it a goal to drink that bottle by a certain time, and then fill it again. My family does the same thing.

I drink from a bottle that has labeled amounts on it so I know exactly how much water I’m drinking–we don’t keep soda in the house either so I don’t have many choices when I am thirsty

The only time I let my kids (and I) drink anything but water is at meals so when they are thirsty they are getting water.

We have water right from the fridge so the kids are good at drinking it.

I drink water in the car when I’m out and going. We also were given a big Berkey water filter for Christmas. It’s great! Fresh, clean water…no filters to buy…at least not for a long time. That filter gets out everything. People use them in third world countries where there is no water system. It’s been wonderful. It’s also large and fast enough that I can get my water for cooking from it too.

I’m actually really bad at drinking water. I try to keep my Nalgene (I have the 16oz. size) with me when I go somewhere because I’ve noticed that if I have a pretty bottle to drink out of, I’ll drink more. It would be really nice to have one of these, because it’s bigger. I also don’t really like juice, and I only drink milk once in awhile, so that helps, because when I do drink something it’s water.

Everyone drinks water in my house. Only one glass of juice a day — even for the baby!

As a child soda was only allowed at Holidays and I have kept this tradition with my children. Even if we go out to eat we only drink water

I stopped buying sodas!
charmed’s last blog post..I’m alive
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:08 am
Subcribed!
We’ve given up sodas completely. We don’t have good tap water here, but instead of buying bottles of water we purchased refillable 5 gallon jugs and buy affordable refills of filtered drinking water from our local health food store. We’re both consuming close to a gallon a day now
thanks!

Had to throw out two water bottles last night.
Need a new one!
Water is pretty much the only choice of beverage at my house. Carrying around a water bottle helps too.

we have to keep filtered water because the drinking water here is not safe. the number one way we have found to encourage our family to drink water is by keeping it cold.

We moved from the east coast to a town in Colorado that is 7000 ft. above sea level and when I got here the first thing everyone told me is that you have to drink LOTS of water or you will suffer from altitude sickness. Luckily for me, even once the potential for illness passed, the drinking of water continued. I haven’t been as good as I should be the last couple of weeks (drinking coffee in the mornings instead of water). But a new water bottle might help inspire me!

We have a Brita pitcher in the fridge. I don’t like water that isn’t super cold, so I have to keep it in there to encourage myself to drink more water. My son loves milk more than anything else, so it’s tough to get him to drink water without a complaint.
We need to stop buying pop, because it’s so addictive!

My family loves water. We go through 10 gallons a week! I don’t think I need to encourage them to drink more water, we’d all float away! But, my friends who don’t like water, I tell them to add some Crystal Light to Go to it. Or flavor it with fruit. I just did an entry that included my top 10 tips, and water was the first one.

I buy the cheapest, and worse tasting sodas and we keep a glass pitcher filled with water in the refrigerator. We also buy juices, but we mostly try to at least drink a glass or 2 of water first.

We are already big water drinkers here. Our rule is water between meals. At meals you can have a glass of something else (milk or juice usually.) Most of the day water is the only choice!

We do a lot of insentives to drink more water - I keep NO soda at home, and if we all order water at a resturant, we get to split a dessert. Also, I use a filter so the water tastes cleaner. Thanks for an awesome giveaway!

I encourage myself to drink more water by keeping water bottles handy in the fridge. I tell myself less soda more water. It has been a battle with me but water has helped me feel healthier.
April 23rd, 2008 at 8:29 pm
My husband would love this bottle! I’m lucky that I don’t really have to encourage my family to drink water, we all just do. I guess it probably helps that water is the only option I give between meals. With everything coming out about BPA this family needs new water bottles! Great giveaway!

We got a water thing at home, that helps alot since it cools the water. I also told myself to drink one glass of water an hour while I am at work. It helps alot with my water consumption!

I finally realized at the age of 37 that the reason I don’t like drinking water is because I don’t like the taste/smell of the chemicals and such in the water, and I don’t like the taste of plastic drinking containers … yeah, sounds pretty high maintenance. So we got an undersink reverse osmosis filter, and now our water tastes great and I don’t use juice anymore to mask the off flavors. Doesn’t save much money in the long term, with the cost of replacing filters, but it’s about even to buying juice all the time (and I save the calories). My daughters like the filtered water better too. To get them to drink more, I just make sure they have it available to them all the time. Just water or water with a little bit of juice for meal times.
