Hi Everyone,

 I went one year without soda of any kind. Could you do it. I drank lots more tea but I didn't drink soda. I did increase my water drinking too. I didn't loose alot of weight but I feel better for loosing a couple of lbs.

Could you kick the soda habit? How many have already kick the soda out the door. I didn't like my kids drinking soda and or myself so I just didn't buy it. It was really hard since most places here going out to eat lunch or dinner you pick soda or water. But, I drank water. The kids wine about drinking water so we would say one cup of water then you can have a glass of soda. But, I WENT A WHOLE YR WITHOUT IT. I challenge all the moms on Cafemoms to try going one week without a drop of soda and set a goal of 6mths without any soda. Don't even buy it for anyone in the house because it's too tempting. I did go two yrs with out soda but hubby bought some a yr ago and I drank one it was so sugary after a two yrs time that it was so sugary I couldn't finish it. You will feel better too. You mite even loose 5 lbs. Try it I dare you.

Sure, but I don't drink soda at all. I think I've gone about 8 years at this point.

I drink water.

Sure. I stopped when I was pregnant, both times. I also quit coffee. Now, I have no reason to, so I will keep my occasional soda and daily coffee. Dare not accepted, but maybe someone will.

I've tried and I can't do it. I like Pepsi way too much.

But way to go for you!!! :)

I went about that long without soda but not on purpose. I just didnt like it much, after my jr and sr year of HS (during that time I was very in shape w cross country, road race club, bball and track) I continued running and stayed healthy. Around 19 I started slacking a bit, gt parties and eating junk. But then I became pregnant w my daughter and got the whole nausea bit and became sick to anything but bland cereals or juices/ice water. It continued til I got preg w my son and then I craved the sodas and such. Now I like a soda once in awhile. I'm not sure its detremental for me though.

I could go a week without it easily? A year? Idk. Sometimes when I feel sick to my stomach I rather sip a gingerale than take medicine. But I don't drink any other kind of soda.

haha my migraine medication alters the taste. It makes it taste like pepper. So I quit drinking it like 2 1/2 yrs ago. I lost a ton of weight. I only drink water and my 2 cups of coffee in the AM

Yeah, it would be pretty easy for me.  I'm not a big soda drinker.
