Ok so I am a newbie to this site but here’s my deal. I am 5ft 5in tall and weigh 269lbs… I feel it is time to take control I don’t need to lose 5 or 10 lbs I need to lose over 100 so if giving up soda is my begining then I guess that is where I will begin. So many challenges and it is truly mind blowing but for myself and my daughter who is now following in my footsteps I have to do something.

ughhh soda is my weakness for sure. That would be hard. I have quit soda before & had horrible caffeine headaches & went through withdrawl.. What can I use for a caffenine sub?

I ended up slipping and had a soda yesterday. Not a big slip though considering that I have a soda once every 3-4 months. Back on the wagon today.

I started a local ‘Biggest Loser Challenge’ on April 5 and have had no soda since.
Great, considering I would have classed Coke amongst my favorite foods…

I did it! I went the entire month of April without a drop of soda! (or pop, as we say in Canada, lol) I have never been able to do that before! Bring on the next food/beverage challenge, Bob!!!

I am on day 22…I gave up Mountain Dew a year and 4 months ago and found myself just stuck on another pop, Pepsi. So no more…I started a little late but doint great so far! I love controlling the pop and not letting it control me!

I am on week 4 day 1 of no soda, fast food, junk food, or chocolate…..I have been eating a lot healthier, but have only lost 5 pounds….still working on it Going to now limit my calorie intake and go from there

I have gone 4 months without soda…I don’t even miss it now!

Sounds like a good challenge. I am up for it.

Sounds like a good challenge. I am going for it!!

HAHA this one is personally easy for me been weaned off soda for years, now a sip of it makes me nauseated.

I just joined today!!!

I am ready to give up soda….I am not a big soda drinker…only sometimes in a cocktail…..I can easily give it up!!!

The only soda I ever do drink is clear soda ( like 7up or sprite) and the occasional diet root beer….

I just joined today!!

I’s super excited to join the challenge!!

Not a big soda drinker anyway, so shouldn’t be too hard

This is not a problem because I usually only have 1 or 2 sodas a month so I can give up those 2 sodas very easily.

I just joined Bob’s site yesterday. I am going to give this challenge a go. I rarely drink water. I pretty much always drink diet soda. I know there is alot of sodium in it…and i can do without it. Just gotta break out my Brita Water pitcher and have water available at all times.

I haven’t had ONE soda in 18 months!!
I’ve lost 100 lbs in the past 17 months!
I have run 2 5K’s in the past week ..first time was the morning after last week’s texas BL. I was so inspired!
I’m so motivated to reach my goal…just 14.4 to go!
totally inspired by BL and Bob and Jillian!
thanks!!!

I have not had any soda diet or sugar pop since Jan 1st. That was my new years resolutions. I have lost 15lbs. My goal is to loose another 30lbs. Wish me luck!

yes I am
Actually soda doesn’t mater to me

I am very rarely a soda drinker! once in a blue moon! my drink of choice is water! I drink 4- 32oz cups a day at work and then when i work out i drink even more! Can I drink too much water! The one vice i have is i love to make my own hot mocha drinks, 2 cups of coffee, a packet of swiss miss hot cooca and a drop of cream! yummie! that is what I have just got a kick on drinking! (last 2 weeks) never been a coffee drinker really! Just always drink water! I hope everyone can kick the habit of soda!!! your body will thank you!
Bottoms ‘em up!

Just joined and I hope I can stay away 4 one month. I’d also lyk to know what are bicep dips.

Nice challenge, I’ll see wat I can do. By d way wat are bicep dips

I made it 3weeks without soda. Off of work because of the flooding in our area, and had a soda. but I am gonna try again

I have gone over 4 years without soda. I can tell you from personal experience I feel much better without it and I have a ton of more energy than I ever had when i had one every morning.

I’m going to start the challange today, i just found this page this morning. I love pepsi and i can drink a 24 pack in less than a week!! crazy. Can I still have ice tea??? not much of a water drinker i dont like it, i know that sounds weird.

Hell yeah!

this is my main problem for my weight i just drink to much damn soda.

Look at all these whiners already!!!! Rule ONE – do what ever Bob says.. lol I’m IN>>>>>

Look at the whiners!!! Rule ONE – do what EVER Bob says – I’m IN>>>>>>

I’ve gone 3 weeks without soda now…not knowing about his challenge. I am doing a contest for my weight loss support group and give out challenges for points.

I have gone from drinking 3!! cans of pop a day to 1 of those 100 calorie small cans. Soon I will be pop free!! I cant wait. =)

I have been drinking tons of soda for years non stop but this month i decided to take the challenge its been one wk and i feel great

Wow, the month has gone by since I have started this challenge and it was hard at first. Especially with the headaches from the no caffine. But now that the month is up I it feels great not being addicted to the soda. But let me tell you I am ready to treat myself to a pepsi tomorrow. I can’t wait for the smell and the taste. But I know this challenge has helped me to acheive something I was trying to do which was cut out the soda from my everyday and just let it be a treat once and a while. Thanks for the challenge.

Just signed up and read this… guess I’m on the right track, I’ve already gone two months!

Ok.. I am late getting this.. but am starting today.. one month.. good way to save some money!!! THANKS BOB!!!!

I didn’t start on April 1st, but I did finally stop drinking soda on April 22nd. That is the last time I have had any and I don’t plan to pick it up again anytime soon. My water intake has gone from maybe 5% water per week to about 95% per week. It’s going really well, I also started a diet on April 15th and have lost over 20 pounds in 26 days.

I was a soda addict. It was not unusual for me to have about 5-6 mt dew while at work from 8-5 and another 2-4 while at home before I went to sleep.

Thanks!

ive wemt 4 mo. without 1 all i drink now is water and i love it

I just found your site. But I will start working towards my month without pop. It will not be easy for me. I am not a big eater. But I always have a pop near by. I am getting close to 300 pounds after 23 years of yo yo dieting. And I have always known that giving up all that sugar would help. But as of yet I haven’t been able to give up my habit of almost 4 liters of pepsi a day. Time to start drinking some water!

I have seriously cut down my diet soda in the past several weeks (probably one every other day) and I will try and cut it out completely starting today!

I’ve been without soda for over a year! I was so moved by the BL show that showed how much sugar the contestants drank. And the fact that they had to use a cement mixer to dump it. Wow.
Soda’s just not good 4 u. I mean it’s good for cleaning your sink drain. Not good for your insides!!!

No soda for one month…no soda for one month…I’m trying to wrap my brain around it. I trust you Bob — so no soda for a month it is starting tomorrow — since I’ve had two today (Which isn’t bad, I usual average about four cans of regular a day; forget the diet. If I’m going to intake, it’s going to be the real thing.)

No soda it is.

Yes, I’m strong enough! I stopped drink soda about 7 years ago and I’m only 23 years old!

I had a diet soda today. Typically about once a week I will drink soda. Normally I drink water or green tea.
I will start this tomorrow. For one month no soda.
I am strong enough!

I had a diet soda today so I will start tomorrow. Thirty days I am strong enough to go without soda. I will drink more water.

I’ve gone an entire year without drinking any carbonated beverage of any kind. I just decided one day to give it up and it’s been so easy. I had to take a pill one night and didn’t want to open anything so I thought what the heck….a sip of my husbands diet coke in the fridge just to wash the pill down….what a mistake…I almost choked…it was so nasty tasting…I knew at that moment I’d never go back to drinking pop.

I gave up sodas about a year ago, just resently had an upset stomach. My husband bought some 7-up thinking it may help, I took one sip and told him I couldn’t drink it, I felt the acid and sugars in my thoat and couldn’t handle it. I didn’t realize what an impact one year without sodas did for me not only did I lose about 5 pounds from dropping sodas but I lost the desire to drink them, what a way to change your diet.

This one was easy. I don’t even drink soda, I stopped drink it for about 7 years ago and I’m only 23 years old!

OMG I don’t know if I can do this one…. I’m addicted to caffine.

I don’t know about this one… I’m addicted to coke and pepsi’s bad.

I don’t know about this one I’m addicted I guess you could say bad….

Thanks Bob!!!!

Well I did it! It was harder than I thought it would be at first, but it got easier. I did have a soda after the month was over, but it was not as good as I remembered. It is not that I have anything against it, I just automatically grab my water. All the money I am saving by not buying soda is nice too!
