    Working on day 4....I will say that without diet coke, my cravings for carbs and sugar are greatly reduced. Anyone else find that too?

    I'm in too! I usually don't drink soda but I've been going to the movies a lot lately and share a large soda with my fiance (he drinks liquids fast in general). I'll bring a water bottle now in a large purse!

    i was at the movies the other day and they had these fabulous snack packs with a package of dried unsweetened fruit, a fruit and nut bar and some popcorn chips (i gave those to the husband). it came with a choice of coke zero (no!) or a bottle of water for $7. great movie treat!!

    Giving up soda is easy...me being a coffee hater it is the caffeine I want. My neurologist said it is great for my headaches and migraines but I can't have diet soda because sugar substitutes also give me headaches and migraines. I have had no trouble scrapping it for the last week so I bet you can do it too!!

    what about tea?

    I started two weeks ago severely cutting down my diet soda. I was drinking 4-5L a day. I've cut down to 1.2L a day (still not prepared to cut out completely!) but am now drinking at least 3L of water a day. (today is a 'bad day' with only 2.4L)

    I did do bad today. I normally buy two 1.25L for the weekend. I've already drunk both today :(

    I'll commit. I've been addicted for over 15 years, drinking at least a can a day.

    I'm not participating in this challenge, but given the insane amount of overtime my husband's been putting in at a certain cola beverage distribution center... I fully support anyone who stops drinking soda.

    Thank you. :laugh:

    Is it too late to join? I had almost given them up and then in the last week I've had 3. I have started craving them again (mmm fizzzz). SO, if I may join, I will start today.

    My last soda was in June sometime.. kind of strange, but loving the "challenge"... if you know what I mean?? I don't really miss it!! ;) Trying to drink more water, sometimes I have Crystal light, but mostly water, and the occasional Miller Chill and glass of wine. :)

    I had not had a soda in 2 weeks, but yesterday I thought I really wanted one so I bought one. I took 2 sips, and didn't want any more of it. I think that is first time I have never drank an entire soda. So I guess I am making progress on being soda free :)
