It is going to be close tonight. Angie is a half a percent behind Daniel or about 1.55 lbs and Daniel is less than a half a percent behind Christi or .67 lbs. I will let you know how it turns out.

I know this is slightly off-topic and may not be completely feasible, but try to avoid diet soda sweetened with aspartame. There’s not much in the way of totally conclusive evidence, but there are enormous amounts of conspiracy theories surrounding it and it’s acceptance by the FDA as a “safe” substance. Try to go for diet soda sweetened with Saccharine, if you can find one that you enjoy drinking.

My biggest problem is simply making sure I always have water with me. If its there, I’ll drink it. I just need to keep it within arms reach at all times.

Kind of amazing, really. Good luck at weigh-in tomorrow! Be sure to let me know how you did and who goes home.

I’m right there with you on the diet sodas. That was always my justification. But it’s diet! There are no calories or sugar! Never mind that it contains nothing that you would ever find on its own out in nature… it’s calorie free! I fear that someday, a scientist may announce, “Aspartame DOES cause cancer, and it makes your eyeballs fall out and you’ll go deaf, but most people are going to be safe, because to have these dangerous effects, you’ll need to have drank more than three two liters a day for about five years straight.” But I won’t be able to hear it, because I’ll be distracted picking up my eyeballs and besides, it made me deaf, too.

Thanks for stopping by; I’ll be sure to add your link to my blogroll.

And good for you for cutting down that much. I’m down to about a can a day, which is great for me. There have been times I was honestly drinking upwards of a 12 pack a day. Easily.

That’s pretty much what I do. Honestly, I truly love them too much to go cold turkey. I’ve cut WAY back, though, and they may be gone totally some day… but not now.

Having a water bottle has proven very beneficial to me. I drink two water bottles full at work which equals roughly 60 oz…add what i drink at dinner and post workout…water, at least in my experience, is most vital to my body losing weight.

Good research and post!

I didn’t know all those facts about how water works in our bodies either. Glad you let us know. Thanks!

Hey! I used to use my Nalgene too, but I left that thing in DC so it’s on temporary leave.

Before I started my intense workout training, I was drinking soda by the liters daily (diet mind you, but still!) but this was also when I was binge eating.

I’m putting a temporary hold on soda and I haven’t craved it much since then (but boy do I love fanta). Soda is bad for you in large quantities but I’m sure if you moderate it as you do all others, it’s just another little joy to help your day along

But yes! WATER is so important! It also helps your kidneys get rid of sodium, so you have less water retention and you also need water to help your brain! Oxygen gets to your brain more efficiently if you’re properly hydrated.

So here’s to drinking water and being a smartie!
