Soda Pop drinkers

[dimples74]

I am not a pop drinker, but DH drinks a 2lit of Sundrop each day-regular Sundrop that is. One of my neighbors was a dropoholic and he quit drinking pop. He lost 50 pounds in like 4 months. He didn't do anything but stop drinking soda.
*Most of you probably don't have Sundrop in your area. It seems to be a North Carolina thing. If you haven't had any, it is something like Mountain Dew except it tastes a lot better.*
I am not a pop drinker or I would stop now!!!!!!!!!!

There are a few people on here who quit drinking pop or seriously cut back & lost weight. I've never heard of Sundrop, but we have Mt. Dew here. I hate it. I drink diet coke with lime or diet cherry Coke all day long, although I've recently started drinking bottled spring water. I always thought I hated water but I'm starting to love it now. Spring water doesn't have that awful chemical taste/smell to it.

Oh yes, you sure can loose weight if you cut the pop. I too am one who hates Mt. Dew, 7up or any of those light colored sodas. I'm a Dr. Pepper girl but only drink it with Italian food and Mexican food. Otherwise you see me with black strong coffee but when I'm on the go I carry Spring water with me everywhere! It has a spot in my purse at all times.

There are so many good reasons for cutting pop out of your diet and loosing weight is one of them.

DW used to drink Diet Coke around the clock. She recently (again) reduced here intake substantially. Something about ''diet'' pop messing with your calcium.

I have a terrible soda dependency. At work, I am the only teacher who has breakfast with a can of diet pepsi, in fact, I bring it from home and I keep it cool in the school's fridge. Soda is not sold at school... All of the other teachers drink natural juices and stuff like that.

I buy soda more than once every week since I keep making sure I am never out of it. I don't know, but I think that this is probably something similar to smoking. I don't smoke, but for sure I depend on pepsi or coke to keep my day OK. If by any chance I don't have the possibility to have my coke, I might develop a migrane.

I have not drank pop in almost a year now. My year mark will be June 14. I have lost alot of weight by stopping the pop. But I also have cut my eating in half and then half again. Plus the exercising I have been doing so I have been dropping the weight tons. But yes if you just stop drinking the pop you can loose weight to.

I am guilty-very, very guilty. I am a Pepsiholic. I drink at least a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi a day. I drink it in the morning too Mary-after my coffee. I have tried several times (unsuccessfully) to stop or at least cut down but nothing else tastes as good. I hate diet soda and I hate water.I did find this Tropicana lemon flavored water that I actually like but by the afternoon I need the Pepsi. If I lost 50 lbs I would be dead but I have about 10-15 I'd like to get rid of. Im sure if I stopped with the soda it would be a big help but I have not been able to do it yet.

I confess. I'm as much Mt Dew as KK drinks Pepsi.

I am overweight and I know its because of the pop. If I could quit I would probably go back to close to my ideal weight and I would love that. The problem is I just can't put that bottle of sugar and caffeine down and leave it there.

Thats funny John! After 3 hours with no diet coke, I'd be going into withdrawls! LOL.

If you don't like water (like me), Crystal light has a ton of different flavors of powder you mix in to a bottle of water. Most are only0-5 calories. Shannon & I have been experimenting with flavors. Her favorites are lemonade or wild Strawberry. Mine are peach tea or cherry/pomegranate.
