Weight loose since Thnasgivings

[nealymouse]

I 1st posted a week or so ago. Since I have gotten a scale and I am down 14 LBS since Thanksgivings !!!!

I am exercising daily and eating what I want, but healthy and no night time snacking (my biggest down fall for me)

My 14 year old daughter has gotten me to give up diet coke and diet sprite and only drinking water. I miss my soda but know its not good for me. 2 days no soda at all !!!

I do find though that the more water I drink the more thirsty I am ?? Whats up with that ??

That's wonderful, Beth!

I wish I could kick the diet coke habit. I did at least switch to Diet Rite, but I still have to have my caffeine in the morning.

I'm trying to give up caffeine and it's really really hard. I think I've been addicted since early childhood - Coke & Toast, breakfast of champions, before 6am swimteam practice from age 4 through 14.

I'm down to one real diet coke now every-other-day and substituting either "fake" diet coke and now trying diet rite for the rest of my 3 or more a day habit. I'm also missing my lattes but not the $3 price.

Has anyone given up caffeine on Atkins and found they lost more lbs because of it?

You are doing great and to have given up all of your caffeine is awesome. I drink a lot of water but I still have my coffee in the mornings. I do find that it is harder for me to get in my water since it has cooled off. I would much rather have something warm to drink. Keep up your hard work and I'm sure you'll be posting more inspiring stories real soon.

I still drink coffee with cafeine. I dont know if I could ever give that up LOL.

I also dont miss the price of soda, I would never change brands to save money, just was not Diet Coke or Diet Sprite. I had at least 6 a day sometimes more. My daughter if she saw me leave one on the counter she would pour it out UGGG, she begged me to drink WATER.

I find it sort of funny that my 14 year old DD is telling me how to eat and stay healthy. She is an awsome kid who is really into staying healthy, I call her coach now LOL.
