no soda 2 weeks

[Alexander]

NotUrsula, Thanks for the link to the caffeine content page.

Crystal Light is available at all of our grocery stores, it's near the powdered drinks (Kool-Aid), etc.

over here in the uk, we have a fab programme called you are what you eat! People have lost 2 stone in 8 weeks, (sorry I don't know how many llbs that is). What they do, is throw away, all the chocolate, soda, and sugary foods, and buy in, fresh veggies, fruit, (fresh and dried,) fish, nuts, seeds, and eat healthy. The programme is on channel 4 (UK). Have a look at the website, this may link you up to the book.

Personnally, I eat really badly, but I am very lucky in that I'm very slim. Anyway, I thought, I start eating those nuts and seeds instead of chocholate at work, well, I lost quite a bit of weight. Apparently nuts and seeds are filled with good fats, that burn off all your bad fat including cellulite.

Give it a go, and good luck.

Robyn, Good luck to you!

The headaches are nasty. My first suggestion is to make yourself iced tea. You'll still get the caffeine but if you use Splenda or Equal you'll get none of the calories. I bought an iced tea maker but you can make it without one as well. I think they also might have sugar free iced tea mix, but I'm not sure. I just bought tea bags and followed the directions on the box.

My husband quit drinking soda about a year ago. In the first month he had lost 21 pounds. He drank it all the time and his favorite was Mountain Dew and Coke.

If you can't find Crystal Light, my Walmart had their own brand of no calorie drink mix near the registers. Check out their food section to see if yours has it. It's not bad. You can also buy Kool Aid unsweetened packages and mix it with Splenda or Equal. That is good too.

Good luck to you. I'm also trying to lose about 10 pounds before my trip at the end of next month. I looked horrible in the pictures from our last trip. That is my motivation!
