It's official. I'm so determined to find out what's stalling me so I'm cutting out my daily Crystal Light (aspartame sweetened) drink. I've been considering it for about a week, and just now I realized that there was one major thing different when I was consistently losing--I NEVER drank diet soda or Crystal Light. I completely cut it out except for very rare treat like eating out. It's going to be hard because I really, really like that daily "treat"...but if it's stalling my weight loss it's not worth it! I'm going to give it 2 weeks and then re-evaluate. It's going to be hard but I can do it.

Linsy,

I had to kick a Crystal Light habit too (and cut back on sweetener in tea). I've read enough articles that I am convinced that even 0-cal substitutes can wreak metabolic habit in some people. I guess I'm one of them. I haven't cut them out completely, but I will tread very carefully from here on.

Good luck!

Great decision, Linsy. I hope you are pleasantly surprised with the results. Aspartame stalls a LOT of people. Are you going to be able to replace your CL with dreaded water? Maybe with a lemon slice for some taste?

Down one pound for week 2! Total of 9 lost.

I was just telling someone how sweet things taste after 2 weeks of lo-lo carbing it. Cucumber slices were sooo sweet. Plus I had a caffeine free diet pepsi (aspartame) for the fist time in 2 weeks and i could taste the difference! It tasted "chemically"....weird. Ill stick with my water, non-aspartame flavored and sparkling water for now.

Quick question: How many carbs do you count for a whole box of sugar free jello? Serving size is 1/4 of box at 0 carbs 0 sugar, but didnt know if you consider it 1 carb for each serving just to be safe??

Week three is gonna rock y'all!! We will be sexy little vixens on Valentines Day!

I had the same experience the other day with soda, kuffgirl. I had a diet pepsi at lunch and it tasted so strongly of aspartame. Weird.

For the jello, I would count it 1 per serving because we are supposed to count 1 for each serving of artificial sweetener we use. That's just a guess though.

Hi all, I am a little late but would love to join in! I weighed in at 172 as of the first of January and this morning was 164.2 so down 7.8 lbs so far. Another 7 by Valentines Day would be music to my ears!

abluvion- Yeah, I can replace the CL. I only had one serving of it a day (1 bottle CL and 2-3 bottles regular water) so all I have to do is replace the daily bottle of it. I can handle water a little bit better than I used to.

After one day of eating cleaner, I'm back down to my ticker weight. Amazing. Yesterday I had protein from chicken and eggs, veggies, fat from butter and mayo, tons of water, and the tiniest tiny bit of artificial sweetener (Splenda, not aspartame). I can't believe how much of a difference it made!

It's been a long day...our school schedule is a wreck from two snow days - it doesn't take much on the Carolina coast to make us lose our natural minds. I still haven't resolved the scale issue...I took the "broke" one back and didn't see anything I thought would work any better. Tomorrow I'm going to check at school and see if the phys. ed. guys have an accurate scale; I'll bet the wrestling coach does. I'll weigh in on Tuesday.

Linsy, good job on the sweetener. I'd almost given it up entirely; then came the holidays and I started using it again to treat myself. I think I've treated myself to a big old stall. Bleh...

I put some peppermint extract in my bottle of water to spice it up...it's WAY too pepperminty with just a drop or two. I might start getting a big pitcher of water and adding a drop of peppermint extract to the whole thing. I love peppermint!

That's so clever, Linsy...peppermint exract in our nasty water. I'm going to try that in a pitcher of water. I love peppermint too. I've been craving peppermint hot chocolate; I could use the peppermint water to make one.

Down 1 pound from yesterday. I think cutting out the sweetener made a difference in a big way.
