Comments on: Water Only for 30 Days http://www.344pounds.com/2009/02/water-only-for-30-days/ I lost nearly 150 pounds by counting calories. I once weighed 344.2 pounds, now around 200. My story has been told on CNN, CBS, and Newsweek and will soon be in a book.

I drink a LOT of diet Mt. Dew. I work in IT. Im overweight. How is THAT for a stereotype? But....I also drink water daily. I keep terrible hours and sleep for maybe 5.5 a night. That caffeine really helps. *shrug* Ive seen that those that are losing weight dump the soda, which is great, but I wonder about whether diet soda figures in at all. I drink a LOT of diet Mt. Dew.

I'm overweight myself (5' 11" female starting at 271 lbs) and I'm trying to make the lifestyle changes that will get me healthy. I think if I aim for healthy, I'll hit slim along the way. I went through a similar deal- I gave up soda, coffee and caffeine a little over a month ago. I went into withdrawal like a junkie- it was awful! There was a day where I could NOT sit still. I was twitching like someone had hit me with a power line. But it made me even more determined to get away from the addicition. I don't know if you ran into this but when I would tell people that I was cutting out caffeine, they looked at me like I was crazy. I was told by many that they could never and WOULD never give it up, they just need it/love it/crave it too much. I don't want to be that. So, here we are. ;) Thanks so much for blogging about your journey. You are an inspiration and I look forward to following you every step of the way.
