  • Hello from Vegas!

    Hello all.

    My wife and I (hence "The Dieting Duo") are giving Atkins a first try. We have been married for almost 7 years and have 3 beautiful little girls. 7 years ago, we were a lot skinnier and healthier and have dragged our feet for too long to get healthy again.

    I am a battling coke drinker. I drank a lot of it every day, something I think I picked off my dad. Coke was my weakness. Several weeks ago, in preparation of starting Atkins, I cut coke cold turkey. However, I still had other carbonated drinks (7UP, fresca). Since starting induction, however, this is the longest period of time I have gone with drinking just water or Hansen's Diet Soda.

    I intend to lose at least 75 pounds. I am not sure what she intends to lose, but its nice having a partner in crime on a diet.

    I am sure you all will see me post from time to time. I am an avid reader of these forums and I thank you all ahead of time for your words of wisdom and support.

        HELLO FELLOW POP ADDICT!!!
        I too was a POPAHOLIC. Hello, my name is Sue and I am a ... Sounds funny, but it really wasn't. I could outdrink anyone when it comes to soda. Coke, Pepsi, Root Beer just soda period. No joke at my height of my self sabotage I could wipe out a 24 pack in a day by myself. ( mind you I was not eating much just drinking pop) not counting the 64 ouncers at the store I would buy before I got home. I now have been pop free (exception my Diet Rite, Fresca, and Sierra Fee of which I have only had about 4 the whole time) since May 21, 2008. Now, I do not crave them at all. I never thought this possible but it is true. I am not going to say that if I was stuck in the middle of a parade on a hot day and could smell the Pepsi everywhere I would not crave it, but as of yet I have not. I have also noticed that I can cook for others now and not want to nibble as I do even though they are having high carbs. You can do it!!! Believe me if I can anyone can...

          Welcome aboard. I'd give up the soda completely and stick with the water. Good luck on acheiving your goal. God Bless, Joe
