That's good to know. There's nothing worse than having the wrong kinds of expectations and then being disappointed when dieting.:ohwell:

Did stopping the Diet Coke actually help you lose weight? I've heard that it will and I, literally, just yesterday started my tapering off process. I used to drink 3 cans or more a day and I'm trying to get it down to 1 or less. So far, it's day 2 and I've done good with water and iced tea - especially the berry flavored.

My understanding is that it helps keep you from retaining water because it makes you pee all day. I think that the only thing it does to help weightloss is keep you from holding water in to save from dehydration.
