Hello my name is Maureen and I'm a soda addict. I知 admitting it and I知 asking for support I know I知 not the only soda addict out there. So I知 setting up a no soda 30 day challenge. The rules are simple no soda. More water. Sparking water is fine but no soda diet or other wise. At the end of the month the participants will receive a certificate form me. I would also recommend a reward system for your self at the end of the month. For me the reward will be a Paul Stanley T- Shirt I致e wanted one for a long time and this is the incentive that I need. Hope you can join me.

I've tried this and sometimes I was able to achieve 30 days. However, eventually I want back to drinking them. I hate diet drinks. I guess best thing is to try to drink soda as a treat, not all the time. Good luck on your challenge. I am going through same struggle.

i am in it with you! i started 2 days ago and honestly it is a struggle right now. if i have a box of diet soda i will just keep drinking them one right after the other. So for the past 2 days its just been water ahhh! hope i can reach the 30 day marker with you. oh and a great benefit your teeth look brighter (if you don't drink tea or coffee as well!) GOOD LUCK gggbdomino

I've done this before but I've slipped up recently and had soda. I actually like not having soda, water tastes better to me now and the acid makes my stomach upset.

Good afternoon How is everyone doing today? Today has been ok I woke up with a big ol head ache wowie what a pain. But it went away It's 2:39 my time and no soda so far. It has been a strugle today though went to my moms and the store before work and soda seemed to be every ware. But I said No to Soda! I hope you all are doing well. Let us know.

Maureen

so 4 days and counting and i have been good well almost. there is a whole box of diets in my pantry and i walk up to it then walk away but i am being strong!

Yes you are being strong girl friend

I also have been strong no soda I wish the rest of my diet was as good today though. But tomorows another day

have a great one Maureen

I am in.. I am so addicted to soda its not even funny. I need some major support on this one.
Today is day one.... if I can make it until Monday I will be OK.

You can do it Karma27! Just resist haha so much easier said than done. but take one day at a time.

We can do it guys!

hello welome karma you can do it I so proud of you all for trying thats wonderful.

I have done well I'm Soda free. I put some berry juice in my selter water yummy

talk to ya soon you can do it.

Count me in to. I have to start tommorow cause I have already had 2 cans of Pepsi, today. I have been thinking about ( New's Years Res)quiting the pop just havn't done it yet, but maybe this will help. I know I can go about 4 days with out it then I get kinda cranky, but I did stop a couple years ago for a couple weeks and lost like 15lbs. I usually drink a about a 2lt a day, I have already started to drink more water so maybe just maybe I can do this. So starting tommorow which is January 29th I am going to go till Febuary 28th which will be 31 days. I can do it.

i have always drunk soda but its always been diet. So i think the gals drinking regular soda are going to see a much bigger change weight wise. I was watching a Oprah and a women stopped drinking soda and dropped 20 or so pounds! (recent episode) For me its one less thing i need to worry about letting me focus on healthy eating. But whats been great so far for me is 2 things 1) Drinking more water so skin is clearing up and 2) Teeth are getting whiter! Oh baby this is great! Keep up the good work girls!

Sounds good.. might have to try that.

I had a soda both Saturday and Sunday The good news is that I had only 1 each day, much less than I usually drink. I am starting fresh today. The first hour of the day is over and so far so good LOL. Thanks for the support, I know I can do this.
