I did it!!! YAY.......I've had a problem about waking up and going straight for a sprite...coke....diet coke......or somthing carbonated.......and i know that this is throwing my weight loss off (proven fact that carbonated drinks delays the digestive system) and this morning i woke up.....went straight for the bottled water.....and here i am.....im SO proud of myself...i didnt give in this morning....or last night....my new quote "Bottled Water.....Worked for Me" lol ........i know this is not a BIG accomplishment.....but i feel GREAT!!!! WHOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO

hey afb0407 - I think this IS a BIG accomplishment! and I just wanted to say

WHOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO

with you. CONGRATS!

I gave up caff free diet coke about 2 months and the first week I thought I might not live thru it. But I did and each day after that it got easier. I didn't have a problem of drinking it as soon as I got up but I would start on it about 10 and then drink it all day long rather than my water.

Well now all I'm drinking is water and I feel so much better about that. I just don't think all those "liquid chemicals" all day long were good for me - or anyone else for that matter ;-)

anyway - I just wanted to tell you CONGRATS on your accomplishment!

YOU GO GIRL! :-)

Thank you!!!! and CONGRATS on your accomplishment!!! Cathy have you found it easier to loose weight without carbonated drinks?? I mean has that made you more successful.....with the lbs dropping off????

LOL wellllllll I have a thyroid problem so lbs NEVER drop off of me. But I have lost 4 lbs in 2 months which is really good for me.

Were you drinking regular cokes? or diet? if you were drinking regular ones I would look for a difference in your weight. And even with the diet ones, they have studies that say diet drinks cause us to gain weight - so hopefully you'll hvae lbs just dropping off - regardless - I promise you will feel better with that stuff out of your system

CONGRATS
