    Way to go!! I drink a medium diet coke in the morning and I've been trying to drink water in the afternoons. It's hard!

    Way to go!! Just cutting out the soda everyday you will lose a ton of weight. My husband and brother go on soda binges and they gain a ton of weight. Then when they stop they lose it all again. I love water myself. People think I am crazy but I am a water snob. LOL Enjoy. : D

    That really is great. My mother drinks coke like it's water. I've been telling her to cut back for years.

    That's awesome -- all those calories saved, think of what you can EAT!

    Good job -- giving up caffeine addiction is HARD!

    Way to go! It will be 1 year on July 6 since I've had a soda or any other drink with caffeine.

    Fantastic Start!!!! Soda is a LOT of empty calories and will rot your teeth!

    If your not a big fan of water, flavor it.....crystal light, MIO, lemon, limes, propel zero.

    Keep it up! It will really help your health. Just take it one day at a time. And don't forget that for a treat once a week you can always have ONE glass of coke. That way you don't have to give it up completely, but you are helping your health. (:

    thanks for all the positive replies..I literally have tears in my eyes at the support:happy:

    I have decided to limit myself to buying one can a week for friday night as we make home-made pizza that night and anchovies are really salty...but I feel really smug today:bigsmile: ...lol

    FABULOUS!!! That's a HUGE win for you!!! I've never been a soda drinker, myself, but a married into a family of them, and let me tell you - it's TOUGH to break that habit! Good for you!!!

    Thats fantastic. I too am a coke addict drinking at least 2 litres a day. I am now up to over 2 weeks without a full fat coke passing my lips, in fact in that time I have only had three diet soda drinks just to take away the craving.. Keeping going, you can do this xx
