Good luck. I found your post funny....interesting. I have been a massive Diet Coke drinker for years. I drank up to a case (24 cans) per day if not more sometimes. I have now been totally Diet Coke free for the past 3 weeks. I really do not miss it. I drink a lot of green tea and water. Anyway, good luck with your kicking…

Awesome! You are beautiful. And you have a very beautiful family. God bless.

Sounds good. I would like to go from 197.4 (current weight) to below 185 in those 30 days. Keep me up to date with this. Thanks, and good luck.

They are only showing their ignorance!

Yes, I too really like this site. I have been running 3 miles per day (almost every day) since joining last week. Haven't weighed myself yet...going to wait a few weeks, but I already feel better just after 8 days.

Just drink water. It is definitely good for you, and never mind the critic on the all capitals.
