Can a glass of flavored water like crystal light or flavored aquafina still count as one of the "eight glasses a day" rule?
Another question. So far I've been loosing inches but when I weigh myself it says I'm gaining weight. I'm a pretty active person(horseback riding,softball,tennis and other random walkings) But I LOOK overweight( and I am) so I feel really junky when the scale says so-and-so but I don't really wieght THAT much.

actually horseback riding is a form of excersice. the horse is doing a lot of work but your also moving your legs to jump and move the horse and stuff. it burns about 250/300 cals an hour, depending on your weight.

Yeah, many people like to flavor their water so it tastes better, it still counts.
And it also depends on what your eating, you can exercise a lot and still be over weight because you might eat a lot for one meal.
