Hi, I'm from Mississippi and I really really really need to lose weight. I've started walking 2 miles 3 times a week and that is good I think. I really have a problem with coca cola...it is my downfall.
anyway, just wanted to say I am glad to be here and hopefully will find the strength to do what needs to be done. thank you for listening.

I have a major Pepsi addiction, my starting point is one a day! I savor that too so I tend to save it for my dinner

Kola,

Hi. I am from Mississippi, too. I also love cokes, but just the diet ones. I try not to drink them so much and to drink more water, but it is hard.

Welcome to 3fatchicks. I hope you will find the support you need here.

thank you

thank you. I am trying to limit myself...but I have to almost force myself to drink water. I depend on the coke so much, I think it is my "get away from it all". But starting Monday, October 2, 2006 I am going to limit myself. I will not stop and buy anymore on my way to work. I will take me some water.... (How many times have I heard myself say this??) But I am gonna try hard this time around.

Hello and welcome! I used to be a Coke junkie too but totally broke the habit and now I maybe drink one every couple of months or so. So you CAN do it. One of the smartest things I ever did too! Anyway, glad you are here.

Hey girls...

I'm from Mississippi too...Jackson & Biloxi. I've been living in the Middle East for almost 3 years though.

Kola- coke was my downfall in trying to lose weight at first. It was weird because just out of nowhere, I decided to switch to Diet. Now, I can't stand the taste of regular Coke. I realized how bloated I felt after just one can. The Diet Coke here taste a little better than the Diet Coke in the States. Not sure why, it just does. It didn't take me long to get over the Coke cravings. Do you think you could try switching to Diet? Or you could drink water with the mix ins. That way, you get the sweet taste without the sugar.

Good luck with it all!

Love,
Deanne

I would like to say I could switch to diet coke, but doing it is another matter! I like the flavored water but I dont drink it like I should. I might try those mix ins they look like they might be pretty good.
Thank you and take care
