Who has given up pop?

I have attempted many times to give it up.  I am a pepsi drinker who sometimes will drink 3 cans a day . I finally stopped buying it at the grocery store, so I no longer have it in the house, but am still ordering when I go to a restaurant, or when I visit family.  Just wondering if you gave up pop, what did you find to replace it with, just water? I Did you lose weight after quitting, and did you drink regular or diet? Thanks!

    I haven't had a significant amount of soda in about 20 years, lol. I'm really sensitive to caffeine and soda is just too sweet for me. DH loves soda, though. I finally got him to give it up and now he drinks sparkling water. If he wants some sweetness, he'll add some Mio liquid or a Crystal Lite packet to it. He now only has soda occasionally. I can't tell you whether he lost weight from that or not because he's also dieting and works out a ton!

    I gave up drinking soda about a year ago (when I started getting my health back on track a few months after LO was born). The only thing I drink now is water and juice (that I juice myself). I can not tell you the difference it made - almost immediately I felt less bloated and my skin got much healthier. I would also say that drinking a lot of water was a contributing factor to my weight loss. It was hard to deal with the lack of sweetness at first so I added Crystal Lite flavor packets to my water. They are low in calories and sugar but give water a little extra kick and flavor.

    Good luck - don't give up!

    I gave up soda when I was 13 and just replaced it with water.  Sometimes when we go out I'll order a lemonade if it's not just soda fountain minute maid.

     

    I will say, that I started drinking soda again when I was pregnant as an alcohol replacement, but now that I can drink again I've ditched the soda.

    I was an addict to Diet for many years until 5 years ago. I read an article about the sweeteners in diet specifically and how it can contribute to belly fat and/or loosing "the spare tire". I found it interesting and decided to just give it a shot. I haven't gone back, I've always been a fan of water so I just drank more of it. Now I would say that I have maybe 10 sodas a year and usually regular, with the real sugar. I've never been a big juice drinker so I mainly stick with water, milk and coffee. Oh and yes, I did loose the spare!

    I gave it up years ago and would only drink water or milk.  DH and I got sick back in Januaryand had some Sprite, I've been drinking that lately. I probalby need to give it up too, but I only get it a few times a week from the gas station (but it's 44oz and n Sprite Zero available).

    I gave up soda shortly before starting infertility treatments.  I was drinking 4-5 coke zeroa a day.  I gave it up for two primary reasons - 1 you are not suppose to have a lot of caffeine when pregnant and #2 the sugar.  I have not lost much weight since stopping.

    forget to stay we bought a soda stream - so now I have bubbly water all the time.  On occasions I add the flavored water mix that goes w/ the soda stream.

    I dont necessarily want to give it up for good ... but I would love to limit it. I probably only have 1-2 20oz bottles per week, but I feel so ridiculously bloated afterwards, and sometimes even the next day. It's the bloat that makes me feel crappy, and that leads to more junk-eating.

    I would love to just drink one maybe every other week ... but I'd probably down a bunch of water afterwards.
