      Poppy - I have switched to only drinking diet soda, but plan to rid myself of them completely by the end of the month. Water is just so much better for me. I'll add that to my challenges for myself too! I'll have to wean myself, something like this:

      Week 1: 1 soda/day
      Week 2: 1 soda every two days
      Week 3: 2 soda/week
      Week 4: 1 soda/week
      Week 5: no more soda!

      That's my plan. I've had only one today, so I'm on track so far. :-)

      Woo hoo!!! Day one done and I'm 3lbs down... But then, it's always a bigger loss the first few days, and I've been REALLY naughty since June and have alot of catching up to do :o)
      Also - Day one of the EA Active programme done, so I'm good so far... :o)

      It seems Bobble2610 had a good start, how was everyone elses day 1? I did Ripped in 30 Day 1- i started on level 2, as i have tried level 1 in the past and it wasnt as challenging. I also stayed in calorie range so day 1 was great for me! Here is to day 2!

      My day one went well. Drank less water than I hope, only about 40 oz. Its my biggest downfall. But I did stay under my calories and hit the gym.

      We are going out with friends for dinner tonight so it will be a challenge to find a healthy choice.
