Well done that's fantastic, I wish one simply change would help but I just can't seem to budge my weight. I've been stuck at 16 and half stone for god knows how long! Sx

I'm gobsmacked if I am honest as I didn't realise the effect coke had on me..... but if you think that 100ml of coke has 3 teaspoons of sugar in it and I was drinking a minimum of 2 litres a day it now makes sense that the weight is coming off!! Stacey, never give up trying sweetie..... it will happen! xx

Good old tonic water sweetie!! Been trying out G&T's although if I am honest me been emotional on it so may go to V&T!! And yes I really did drink a mimimum of 2 litres a day.... I even used to have a litre bottle by my bed in case I woke up thirsty!! Sad huh? But the withdrawl has not been pain free, the headaches are horrid but I've been told its caffiene withdrawl and will get better! xx

Hiya Pinks, my son did this....he had put on weight, but can carry it being a 6 footer....nevertheless he felt the need to lose it.....ate healthily, stopped drinking a bottle of Cola a day, and switched to water......result lost the 21 lb he had put on......has kept it off for over a year.... Good for you Pinks, and I hope you feel much better....the sugar rush from Cola does no good at all.....although it does taste refreshing.....
