A one week Challenge!

Okay we really need something to get this fat club going. We are all doing great but we need to kick it up. I thought maybe we could do a one week challenge. Each week we will trade off challenging eachother to do something.
I will start the weekly challenges.
My Challenge for everyone is to get off soda and fruit juices too. Fruit Juice is just as bad as soda, if not worse because it has a higher calorie content. Fruit Juice is just the water and fructose from a piece of fruit. You don't get the benefits of the fiber of the fruit. So its bad bad for you. Especially on a diet.
If you drink even one 8oz glass of soda you are drinking 100 calories. Or the equivalent of walking one mile. So every can of soda = 1 mile.

Diet soda is better than regular. But diet soda isn't a health drink or a silver bullet for weight loss. Although switching from regular soda to diet soda may save you calories, some studies suggest that drinking more than one soda a day — regular or diet — increases your risk of obesity and related health problems such as type 2 diabetes. Fake sugar tricks your body into thinking you've had sugar without the calories sugar brings. Causing your body to become hungry after every non caloric soda you intake. It causes excess snacking and the need for sweeter foods.


I am a HUGE diet soda drinker. I drink 6 cans + a day. I have constant headaches and bloating. I am constantly anxious from the caffeine. So I would love if everyone would support me in getting off of soda, by getting off it with me!

So at the end of your food journal post whether you avoided soda or not. If you make it a week and don't feel any better you are welcome to get back on it. But if you feel better or have lost more weight, stick with it!
