    Just curious was it Diet or regular. I drink Diet Coke and just thinking about if I would be willing to give it up.

    Life long Dr. Pepper drinker here, and I gave it up on January 7th. I used to dring 4 to 6 soft drinks a day. I gave it up because I didn't want to drink all my calories - now I will occassionally drink a diet 7-up, but other than that it's water or green tea for me - I feel so great not wasting all that money on putting sugar, caffiene or chemicals into my system - I sleep better too!

    Congratulations on your success - good job!!:flowerforyou:

    Thats a great idea. I think I am going to try to do the same. I dont drink a lot but there is no reason to drink it at all.

    I gave up pop in January. I used to be hooked on diet coke. Even though it did not have the calories, it is not the best choice so I gave it up. Now I'm addicted to unsweetened iced tea. Good job!!!!

    I would drink almost all my cals then I went to coke Zero and I was doing a lot better then I went to Carbonated water with no Sodium and it's helping me kick the pop because I know it's something I need to do.

    Congrats to you who have kicked it I hope I can soon LOL :wink:

    Congratulations! Wish I had the drive to give up my Diet DP's, but I have cut back from 8-12 a day to 2 so it's a start. :bigsmile:

    Congrats! :flowerforyou:


    I am not, by any means, an avid soda drinker...but occasionally when we would go out I would drink either sprite or sierra mist (to me they taste the same)

    But for lent, I decided to give up any sodas! I now just drink water or milk 2 %, cranberry juice (light version) or a juice drink

    WTG to the soda giveruppers! :drinker:
