Well done Diana I too have stopped drinking Coke - the diet variety though and once the headaches stopped (in about three weeks), I felt so much better:-) I have to say that even though it was diet coke that I was drinking, I have lost 4 pounds since stopping - (last October) and a couple of inches off my waist:-) Hubby bought me a bottle at christmas to have with my Bacardi, and it lasted ages - it didn't taste that great either when I had a sip beofre putting the Bacardi in ..LOL Bacardi XX

A - apparently its just as bad for you as the real thing!! ;o)

Brilliant Diana, Caz xxxxx

Diet Coke anyone ???? ;O)PPP

Well done Diana I gave up Coke when i fell pregnant with my son 10 years ago i dread to think what size i'd now be if i hadn't lol

Roxanne - you're right sweets, I know that but they hurt!! LOL!!

Hi Diana,The headaches will go soon,your bodies detoxing,nothing to worry about:-))) Rox x

Its weird cos apart from the headaches i feel so so much better!! And yeah being in lust does help but me thinks me realising just how much damage I was doing to my body just by enjoying coke!!

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.....

Diana,Im not surprised that you are losing weight by just stopping your fizzy drinks, your doing yourself a big favour by stopping drinking that rubbish! KEEP IT UP:-)) you will get much more positive results too. Roxanne x

Sweets.... you've obviously missed something in the past few days!! ;o)

And any Guinness isn't a drink its FOOD!! an essential part of anyone's diet!! LOL!!

Jenny...........Fattening? Guiness? not on my nan it wasnt'.....LOL If you put two rake handles together they'd be fatter than my nan......Bob might 'av bin the way she stirred it with a red hot poker!!!!!!

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

Hee Diana well done....... dunno If I could do that......... Rum n water doesn't have the same ring to it!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL Bob

Well done Diana, did you really drink that much Coke a day? Wonders what Pink now dilutes her drinks with????? What on earth do I get in when she arrives in Newcastle in April? Pints of Guinness is fattening too. Jenny x

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

Robert - me giggling!! Especially as I think my first coke would have been in 1975!! ;o)

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

6lbs!! wowee well done you! thats 3 bags of sugar! xx
