I gained back 5 pounds and although that sounds like just a little, once some pounds come on more are sure to follow.<br /><br />I KNOW you CAN do it!! You really can!! Walking a mile is great. Have you ever heard of T-Tapp?? You should look into it. It has helped me a LOT.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082187789450193644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562636634487275914.post-54676068122860296022014-04-14T23:24:33.760-04:002014-04-14T23:24:33.760-04:00It is true that even diet sodas are not good for y...It is true that even diet sodas are not good for you, but if you just have to have one Diet Dr Pepper taste pretty good. A few years ago I decided to get healthy and lose a little weight, so I cut out white flour, sugar and cokes. I lost about 20 lbs in about 3 months, just with those little changes. If you are a chocoholic like I was, it may be hard at first to kick the sugar habit. After about a week I didn't crave sweets of any kind. <br /><br />I kept those 20 lbs off for a while and slowly I started drinking coke again, then white flour and yep you guessed it, sugar! I gained the weight back and a few more. So once again I am trying to eat healthier and drink water instead of coke. I add a little lemon to my water, and it helps. <br /><br />Good for you though, you are taking baby steps and are walking. You will get there!

Losing weight is HARD!! Just a note ...Good for you! Losing weight is HARD!! Just a note on the Diet sodas....the artificial sweetener can make it even harder to lose weight, plus they are even worse for you than sugar...... Drinking a lot of water - or water with some lemon in it or herb teas can help (I need to do this more). Also, I find that when my body is getting the correct nutrients and enough of them, I don't tend to crave foods, so I am trying to get that figured out again. Keep up the good work. :) Thank you for posting.

But even better ...Diet Dr. Pepper is a great drink! But even better would be water or sparkling water, at least there would be no sugar substitutes. Personally, dieting is probably the hardest task to stick to but I find if I abstain from sweets & things with sugar, after a few days, the cravings stop. Then I stick to fruits & veggies & of course, protein. May God plant in us the determination & focus to stay healthy.
