Today marks 1 week without moutinan dew for me. I know that may seem simple but for me that is a big accomplishment. I am not even craving it anymore and the headaches are getting less. Whooo hooo!

    i think that's awesome. giving up soda is not easy. i still drink the diet soda from time to time but i'm trying to make the switch to sparkling water.

    That's great! Soda, diet or not, is not good for you so this is a great accomplishment. Keep up the good work!

    Thats like me and my coffee ;( I wish I could let it go! At least I don't have to worry about the calories, I cut my coffee down to only 25 calories a day. Great job love!

    Are you kidding? That's huge!
    If you were drinking regular your liver will thank you (the high fructose corn syrup is only processed by the liver) and if it was diet getting off artificial sweeteners is also a great accomplishment.

    The caffeine was good in small doses but too much leeches calcium so take a supplement w/ calcum/magnesium or diary and do some weight-bearing exercise to help build your bone strength back up.

    A lot of people never kick the soda habit because the withdrawal is just so bad. It is absolutely fantastic that you've done it!!

    Great job!! :-) That isn't a small NSV, that's a BIG one! I can't go without soda (well, I choose not to, because I know I COULD if I really wanted to), so more power to you! :-) The best I can do is drink diet instead. Haha

    Go you!! :-)

    That is awesome! Good work! :)

    I have to admit though.. I still enjoy my Boylan's cane sugar Ginger Ale from time to time.... *les sigh* why is soda so delicious?!

    Thankfully I never got hooked on the dew but hubby's best friend was a major dew junkie for years. He finally had to quit on doctor's orders!

    My husband dropped Mt dew out of his diet for 2 weeks and lost 12 lbs. I was so angry with him lol

    coffee is the thing that i couldn't remove from my diet, before i consumed 3 to 4 cups a day. but now since i joined in here i manage to take it into at least 2 cups a day.

    I've had a love affair with diet mountain dew, but it had to stop. I just can't afford to pay for it right now!

    Instead, I brew 4 bags Jasmine tea w 1 bag Tulsi lemon ginger. Fill up a big pitcher and have it iced with one packet of sweet n low. I'm getting my green tea in and it tastes wonderful.

    Good in instead of sugar ruling our brains
