Just started using this website yesterday. Totally loving it and the app on my droid. Just after two days I've realized I waste a lot of calories in Soda! That's my first goal, time to get soda completely out of my diet-- Connie

    Soda is a HUGE culprit! I'm guilty!

    I have decided to have only 1 soda a day (if that) until I can completely get away from them!

    Sodas are not just empty calories but the caffine and cabonation reak (sp?) havok on your mind and body!

    Good luck with your goals!

    I have been almost 48 hours with out a soda, I figure it is a start, I still have much to go but cutting the sodas is a huge help on the calories I know.

    Hello. My name is Carol. And I'm an addict. Diet Coke is my drug of choice and I drink a LOT more than I should. I've managed to cut down from 3 or 4 of the 44 oz. fountain drinks a day to only 1. But, that one.....??? I savor every single drop of it. LOL!!!

    Welcome! You'll do great - I just know it. :flowerforyou:

    I hear you! I had to cut artifical sweetners out of my diet, so when I nixed the diet soda I went to regular soda. I didn't drink soda religiously in the first place, but nevertheless those calories add up quickly. I've only been on this site one day and love seeing the stuff I am wasting calories on - my biggest culprit is candy and sugary gum. It's amazing how much those empty calories add up. I've had the sugar habit for years, so hopefully I can break it. Good luck to you!
