Puzzle
This is where I will keep track of how long it's been since I've had a soda. I used to live on them but I think it's time for a change.

If I could quit smoking I can quit this...

When I wake up tomorrow morning it will be over 48 hours without a soda. w00t

Smoking is one thing, but don't abandon pop.

I hope soda isn't your only change Ken. One must limit their entire diet, not just the pop. Let's not be like those people in Florida who give up caffiene but supersize the fries.

I'm not changing my entire diet. Not eating more to make up for the missing soda, but I'm not eating less either.

One change will eventually lead to other changes, but if you try to do it all at once you will burn yourself out and the "diet" will crash, sending you back to your old habits.

Posting the same sentence 45 times in 13 minutes is spamming the forum. If the sole purpose is to dominate the front page then you can' t achieve that by legitimate posts, because you need to post a lot of replies in a short time frame. Look at the content of Kongu Dude' s replies.

What about weight wise? I hear conflicting stories. Some say you will lose weight, some say you won't.

Hmm...

I'm trying to eat less and be a bit more active than usual. We'll see if it pays off for me.

One major benefit for giving up soda, more money in my pocket. Just like when I quit smoking. I was able to save up money faster.

Once you get past the first few days you get into a new groove and will see yourself automatically reaching for a glass of water compared to a bottle of soda.

Quite a few times at first I grabbed for the soda then had to remind myself of my goal.

Did the men of the Old West drink soda? Did mountain men? How how Spartan's? Soda is not for men.

Giving up soda is like giving up TV...it's not needed, so if you want to do it, go ahead.

I may not run 3 times a week, but I walk more than a mile (with jogging thrown in) nearly every day, light weight lifting for toning every other day and dieting with it...so hopefully the weight will be shed.
