When did you give up coffee and soda?

Here is a tip that may help, I am a nurse on a cardiac/stroke unit, I read during one of my educations the other day that drinking diet soda puts women at a 50% greater chance of having a stroke!  That is motivation enough for me! BYE BYE diet soda!!

Whoa! Good to know! I wonder why that is?  I'll have to visualize that when I want a diet mountaindew.

Thanks so much for all of your replies. I have quit soda as of yesterday and am planning to stop caffeine the week before my two week shrink the liver diet. I will wean myself off by doing half caffeine and half decaf so that the migraines dont get too bad.

Again thanks for the support!
