    you will pry diet cola out of my cold, dead hands. Everyone will have a few bad/less healthy habits, I figure this can be one of mine.

    Soda streams are amazing, just plain old carbonated tap water fills the fizz urge for me

    if your primary goal is plain old, unadulterated weight loss, then don't worry about cutting out diet soda.

    the prevailing credo of MFP - the motto, the anthem - is that Calories In be less than Calories Out.

    diet soda has zero calories and, as such, can be consumed in unlimited fashion.

    (if, like me, you've declared carbohydrates the enemy, then there's more good news - most whiskey has zero carbs, as well...so if you were somebody-who-shall-remain-nameless over here and happened to enjoy one or two George Dickel Black Label and Diet Dr. Peppers every now and then...well, you'll have to figure in the whiskey calories, but none from the soda.)

    now...having said that, if you're looking at weight loss as a component of a bigger-picture commitment to improving your health, then google "Aspartame" and start reading some of the search results. (and note the irony of the fact that the Snopes rebuttal was written by an official from the FDA, the organization responsible for foisting the stuff on the world in the first place.)

    but once you swear off Aspartame, High Fructose Corn Syrup won't be far behind, and the next thing you know, you'll have narrowed your diet down to tree bark and the random cucumbers that you've grown in a flowerpot behind your kitchen sink.

    there's a happy medium in there somewhere...my happy medium is that i can't dodge every bullet that flies my way, so I moderate as best as I can. I've lost over 50 pounds drinking diet soda all the way. your mileage may vary, but give the notion of quitting as much of a voice as you're able to hear without derailing you.

    I just started drinking diet soda. Never have before. I'm pretty happy about it actually.

    I also drink La Croix sparking water though. The coconut is amazing (and works well with rum)

    MiSo - Coke Zero and the "New" Diet Pepsi own me. You are not alone. No tips from me for giving it up though, since I know I won't. I do drink iced tea on the weekends, but I put liquid Splenda in it, so it's really no different/better than the diet soda.
