Well I wish I could gain the will to kick the dews and the Cokes like you two. I had for a while I had winged off to Powerade and Gatorade now I am back on pops.

 

You know when i kicked soda i lost 10 pounds in the first two weeks! And my face cleared up! Probably look like a pacaso by new years after this one!

 

I half assed remember why I quit drinking pop. I would feel like crap from too much sugar. Back then i only drank it with whiskey, then after awhile I changed to vodka and oj, or drinks without the pop in them.

After I quit drinking pop I felt soo much better. Its hard to describe, but i was sleeping better, and just generally feeling better.
I have the occasional pop every now and then, and it seems like whenever i do, i soon remember why i quit drinking it haha.

 

How did you quit just stop and start drinking water or what? I like a little flavor when I drink something.

 

My dad goes through a case of soda in a week but a case of beer lasts him 2 weeks. I love drinking soda and monster energy drinks but I also drink alot of milk.

 

For myself i just quit. I like a little flavour too, so for awhile I went with sweetened fruit juice, then unsweetened.

I always have liked water too, so that part wasnt too bad.

 

I drink Propel.... Its how gaterade does water! LOL Sorry! i hate drinking just water... But propel has only 5grams of sugar per bottle a few vitamins 0 carbs and no added color...

 

I also drink alot of milk Jacob.


I never did get into drinking those energy drinks though. Ive tried them once or twice and didnt care for em.

I also dont drink coffee, or tea at all.

For warm drinks its hot chocolate haha.

On Edit: I like that propel stuff too, totally forgot about that!

 

Got back from my parents house about an hour ago, took some time to catch up on this thread! The girls put out milk and cookies for Santa, anyone want them????? I don't drink milk or eat the cookies they set out..... Troy left for work about 45 mins ago and won't be home until 1130 in the morning, sucks for the girls. I still need to do all my wrapping, play Santa, make a pumpkin cake with homemade cream cheese icing and some laundry My head is starting to really hurt so I think I need to have some Captain n coke in can and all will be right in the world



Nothing can hurt me

That's what my sister has also. Here at my house we have a Game Cube, PS2 and the girls have DS's. Santa is bringing the girls GH for their DS's!!!

Sounds like a good Christmas Nolan!!

I lost 15lbs going from Mt Dew to Diet Pepsi right after I had Madyson, all those carbs are killers..... I can't imagine not having any soda, I don't drink nearly as many as I used to but I need to have some caffeine.

 

I drink mainly water, and beer now lol The juice I drink has a nice little kick to it

Ive heard of people losing weight like that, but I quit drinking soda for a month and didnt lose a single pound.

Ice water, ice cold water is how I stoped drinking everything else. It might not have that much flavor but it is refreshing.

 

I only drink a monster energy drink every now and then, its too expensive to drink one every day. They seem to give me a good energy boost and I've never crashed.

 

Too easy... Take it in chunks. Case/Power Supply. MoBo/Processor/RAM. Then add drives, video card (which you can add after if the board has on-board video) wireless LAN card, and of course a display. Everything plugs in, and all you have to do is grab your Windows CD, throw it in, and it will install. Then add your favorite AV, update it, then do all the Windows updates. It's really that simple. If you have a decent display and case/power supply, you can update your Processor/MoBo/RAM for fairly cheap. Then update your monitor and/or video card as you can later. You can go with bigger HD later too, if it's currenly good enough. Mine is only a 160GB, but with that external 1TB drive I have, I really don't need another drive right now. And my board has a SATA interface, and so does that external drive. So that was the other little thing I got -- SATA cable & ext plug for my PC. That way I can run it over the SATA link instead of the USB. Much faster that way.

All right, I'm off to the sack. The kiddo will get us up EARLY tomorrow (I mean today!! ). Merry Christmas to the EST & CST folks -- MST & PST is coming!! Anyone tracking Santa with NORAD??
