    Congratulations! Several months ago I switched to low sodium club soda since I like the bubbles. And on occasion, I add in a little lime flavoured vodka for a treat. :drinker:

    April 15th, 2012 - I stopped drinking soda, including consuming anything that has a high sugar content/High Fructose Corn Syrup. There's a few other things I've been doing as well, but initially, I've lost 40 pounds in 4 1/2 months. Keep up the good work. After the first couple of weeks, soda didn't even call to me anymore. I just hated the migraines for the first few days.

    Way to go.....I have to do that as well. I drink too much Diet Coke. I am going to start after I finish what I am drinking now. I do drink about 10 glasses of water a day as well.........

    Yay! That's so awesome. I think ditching soda is one of the best first steps.

    Your past issues with diet soda don't surprise me, it's so awful for the body. You made the right decision going cold turkey.

    Great job! I love drinking Diet Pepsi ( probably one liter per day or more). I am trying to back off of it. Right now I am recovering from oral surgery (gums). The main cause of my gum erosion (according to the surgeon) was the phosphoric acid in the soda. It erodes our gums and enamel from the teeth. You're doing more good for your body than you think by giving this up!

    That's amazing.

    I'm also a coca cola addict, was drinking a 2litre bottle a day from aged 16, but have cut right down and seen drastic improvement.

    I tried cutting it out completly but I had major withdrawl symptoms so have slowly cut it right down.

    You are an inspiration that it can be done. Thank you

    That's awesome! My husband quit soda and lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks. I quit soda and got the shakes, headaches and mood swings... that stuff is a killer if you drink it daily (I was a daily drinker - 2-3 cans a day).

    Wow, what a change! I imagine that it was difficult going cold turkey but an 8 pound loss is fantastic in two weeks.
