I am soo excited. I haven't even started FS yet, but I stopped drinking cokes a couple of days ago so I could get ready to start FS tomorrow, and I have lost 7 pounds!! How is that possible? I haven't exercised or anything just stopped drinking coke for 3 days. I used the same scales when I weighed myself. Oh well I guess it doesn't matter why it happened as long as I lost the weight.

Go Girl! Congrats! Soft drinks have MANY MANY more calories than people think.

Yay congrats

Yay! Good for you. Isn't it nice when small changes have big impacts?

off to a great start!

aahhh sodas have a LOT of sugars in them...a can of coke typically has around 32+ grams of sugar....the recommended daily intake of sugar should be about 25grams of sugar.....sooo you can see the issue....one can of coke, let alone 2 or 3 per day....and voila....your body ends up with glucose that isnt being used that turns into fat....

so be careful with the soft drinks....non natural juices....gatorades...etc...

congrats on the loss

there's a lot of sodium in them even the diet ones which can make you retain fluid. I am happy for you!!!
