I'm 5 days in and I'm proud to say I haven't had any soda AT ALL and haven't missed it! This is coming from a girl who would drink 6-12 cans a day and no water (no joke!) .... It's been all water, skim milk, and the occasional coffee. YAY!

    Great work! I switched to Diet Soda a few years ago, but do not have the discipline to quit soda completely. I am a serious caffeine addict!

    That's awesome! I haven't been much of a soda drinker in a long time but I used to be so I understand! If you drank regular soda, that equals a LOT of calories out of your diet!! Congrats!

    I've been to diet soda since the new year which is huge for me.. super pop addict like you say I could drink cans and cans a day :\ Love that mountain dew but sadly it does not love me back ): And the diet version of it IMO tastes like crap. So pretty much just drink diet coke now. I don't think I could give it up completely tho at least not now if I don't have something other than water I think I might die LOL :) Great job on giving it up! Even more so totally cool that you don't miss it :) That is awesome!

    Great job! That is not an easy thing to do.

    I am drinking my last one right now. Well, that is the goal anyway! I do well at home because if I don't buy it, then it is not around. However, then I go to work...Dr. Pepper seems to be my counselor when I get stressed. And of course, there are pop machines all over the place! Grr......
    Hopefully, I will post the same success as yours, next week!

    Feel free to add me as a friend. Maybe we can get over our "addiction" together! =)

    Congrats!!! I LOVE regular Coke *sigh* but it doesn't love me. I didn't intend to give it up altogether (probably had 1-2 per day and more if I was stressed) but given the calories I have to eat in order to lose weight, I just started making other choices. Haven't had a Coke since May 24th and I LOVE regular soda so you can do it!!!

    Same here! It's been all water, all day for a little over a week. It hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. I had to stop drinking pop during my pregnancy just 5 months ago and I had to drink 12oz of water pretty much every hour due to complications. Yay for no pop!
