    I started my fitness routine yesterday and set this rule for myself. It's so easy to pack on calories with soda.

    Also, I'm trying to stay away from anything with high fructose corn syrup (commonly used in sodas), as I don't think it's sensible to consume it often.

    It's not a "rule" for me, but I don't take in a lot of liquid calories. I was never a soda person, so that wasn't tough. I have a glass of orange juice every morning (100% juice) and sometimes I'll have hot ovaltine in light soy milk or I'll make a chai latte with light soy milk. It's healthy, low-calorie and actually helps curb hunger between meals, so it's worth it.

    But I could live without those things just fine, too. I mostly drink water and tea.

    nope...must have my coffee every morning

    I love coffee, but long ago learned to like it straight, black without sugar. It has like, what, 2 calories in a cup? I don't even count those..

    I'm the same way - I don't drink my calories, but I've never been a big soda drinker, so it's pretty easy for me. Once I've had my coffee in the morning, I'm water all day - occasionally an unsweetened iced tea (0 cals) for lunch. As for alcohol, I just have wine, and really avoid the calorie bombs in the Bahama Mama family!

    I don't really drink my calories either( I drink mainly water) but I do have a glass milk every day but never drink soda, fruit juice or alcohol unless I'm really craving it.

    I am quite addicted to Dunkin Donuts Iced Mocha Coffee.. so that I have every once in a blue moon. I'm also really into Organic Vally Chocolate Milk, but the 5 dollar for half a gallon price tag tends to keep me away from that :)

    I don't drink calories, unless it's protein.
    I giggled!

    I definitely prefer to eat my calories, except for yummy protein shakes.

    I refuse to drink soda. I was really addicted before starting this plan. I used to drink like 5 cans per day. I would literally drink 0 pure water per day. Now I drink only water. If I get bored with water I put a tiny bit of OJ in it or squeeze in some lemon or lime. It seems to be working and the craving are starting to go away.

    starbucks is way too expensive. I'll have the occasional sip of my boyfriends soda but other than that I rather eat than drink :)

    I have this rule, but I'll break it under 'special treat' circumstances and frankly, my special treats are super lame. It's usually a Fuze Banana Colada. 190 calories... first two ingredients are sugar and water. Yeah. Nomnomnom

    Yep, definitely no liquid calories here.

    I will now drink vodka if I have a big night out (only once every couple of months, I'm more a village pub kind of girl - sad!) but only if I've saved enough calories for it.

    Otherwise diet coke and water only.

    I won't drink diet coke on tap in a pub unless I can see which button they press - it's amazing how often the put regular in despite you clearly saying diet!

    I drink juice only 2 or 3 times a week, and it's only 4 oz. I count is as a treat. I drink alcohol sometimes, but again, not a lot. I do drink diet coke sometimes.
