I've just started drinking water in the past month or 6 weeks. I've always been a soda person and before MFP would consume up to 3, 32oz Mt Dews a day or the same amount of Diet Coke. When I learned how many calories I was getting from the dew, I switched to Diet Coke only. I still will have a coffee or Diet coke first thing in the AM but the rest of the day is just water..

So my NSV- I realized today that I have drank our entire office water cooler jug in less than a week!

    Yay for you!!
    So now that your company has to replenish the water more often, have they noticed that their water bill has gone up because of all the flushing you do now and all the toilet paper you are going through?

    My hubby gives me a hard time about that all the time.

    Yea Mt. Dew is like one of the worst sodas on the market... I don't like water with meals because it washes away taste, but there's other flavored drinks like Tropicana Light Lemonade and Berry that are 10-15cal/8oz serving. I actually waste a lot of money on water because I still buy 2.5gal jugs and can almost polish 3 of them off a week... need to buy a water cooler STAT!

    That's awesome you cut out the soda though. That's over a thousand calories a DAY you cut out, just in drinks.. I bet you noticed the effects that decision =)

    I was easily consuming more in Mt Dew in one day than I do here in net daily now.. I think I can thank that decision for at least 15 of the 30 I've lost..

    I said something to my boss today when I noticed It was time to change the jug again but didn't want her to realize that I've probably doubled that contract price! HAHA.
