I am happy to say I have kicked my diet coke habit. Diet coke has been my drink of choice for over 30 years!! I don't like water, however going into week 4 I am happy to say I only had one the first week by accident. Had a pizza party at a restaurant and as a habit ordered one, my refill was tea. I have made myself drink at least 4 or more glasses of water. I also drink diet peach of raspberry instant tea. I am thinking this is not good for me either. Need some ideas of other drinks.

    I drink water everyday all day, but every other day or so I have a can of Dr. Pepper. Other than that juice once in a great while. I like food too much to drink my calories! :wink:

    Milk. I have noticed that on the weeks when I drink more milk, I lose more weight. Not sure why, but it works for me!

    I am also a Diet Coke drinker...I just try my best to limit it and am drinking water more. I still can't believe the people that can drink 80 some odd ounces..I think I would float away!! I allow myself to have some juice but make sure that there is no added sugar and all natural. You could add a little lemon to your water..it's supposed to help you digest and I think even burn calories better.

    I drink coffee and alternate it with half water/half Ice Cascades or fareway water coolers ( made with splenda) 0 calories. I can't force myself to drink plain water it has to be flavored with something.

    I also got a pitcher and will take frozen fruit ..put it in the bottom, fill to cover fruit with water and then fill the rest up with ice and let it steep. The ice kind of acts like a filter to get just the water. This only stays good for about 3 days though.

    Crystal Light
    Brewed Lipton Tea


    Try this if you like fruit: Get some frozen fruit and put in a pitcher of water and it flavors the water. Cucumbers also work for this.

    Tea or diet soda when I'm splurging, and skim milk or almond milk.

    A squirt of Mio in a bottle of water. Flavored home brewed iced tea...love the Lipton Bavarian Wildberry.

    Coffee, home brewed green tea with blueberries and honey, generic diet koolaid from walmart (cherry is awesome) and no I dont fear sweeteners, and I make homemade water with fruit. I'll put a few berries in a bottle, crush them and add water, leave it in the frig overnight.
    If I eat at a restaurant, I always drink water. No more soda for me either, because it kind of bothers my stomach now and I don't even want it.

    Nothing. I very rarely drink anything besides water. I do add Mio or lemon wedges for flavor though:)

    I drink milk with some meals, and I love green tea. Especially in the colder weather, I'm craving hot drinks all the time, so lots of green tea. It tastes yummy without a big calorie hit.

    Sparkling water, or I make herbal tea and chill it, you can add sugar or honey if you want but most herbal teas have a sweet taste to them anyways. I make a 2L every morning and try to finish it by nighttime: there's eight cups.

    G2 - Gatorade that's low in sugar and only 80 cals for 32oz. I have meds that make me constantly parched, and this is a great alternative.

    If you don't like water, put a shot of your fave juice in it for flavor (just a shot, to avoid the ridiculous amounts of sugar in that crap).

    dice pieces of fruit, put them an ice tray and fill with water, freeze those cubes to use in your water.

    A cup of coffee in the morning, but otherwise only water. Gave up soda back when I was in high school and never looked back. If I'm feeling slow for whatever reason, I'll add a packet of Emer Gen-C to my water.

    Oh... and wine.

    Black coffee & tea, Diet Ocean Spray juice (10 cals per cup). Used to drink the low or no-cal energy drinks until I noticed that I had a small weight gain every time I drank it.

    Tea, orange juice on occasion and fanta zero when I'm craving something sweet and fizzy (which is almost never).



    Edit: I forgot wine! :O
