Scott,
Go to Walmart and buy the Walmart brand of Crystal Light go the go packs. There are lots of flavors to choose and much cheaper than the name brand. Best of all water is not so boring Good Luck.

Decaf coffee, made CORRECTLY is still very yummy. I, personally, like Gevalia and get rave reviews from guests (who have NO idea it's decaf...) Get you a French press and make it at home yourself (better for your wallet, too), but be sure not to load it up with sugar and cream, if you do. Get you some stevia powder (I like the Now brand) and cut your sugar in half with it. As for your water...try the TrueLemon thing, it is REAL lemon and SO good in a bottle of water with a sprinkle of stevia. Your wallet and your waistline (and blood pressure and cholesterol...) will thank you and we'll have you training your flying monkeys for YEARS to come!

I too had to give up caffiene awhile back. I feel soooo much better now. Have you tried tea? I LOVE decaffinated green tea with jasmine. It is wonderful...and good for you...you don't even need sugar.
I know its tough...but at least you know we all want you around for many years to come!

My DH and I share a 12 cup pot of coffee a day. But it only fills our big Disney mugs twice each - so I am only drinking 2 mugs a day But I also drink at least 100 oz of water, so I am keeping my coffee

[scottjs]

Wow Janell thats a lot of water!!!

Thanks danielle it is my plan to be around for many years. Buying Janice beers and renting out my flying monkeys!!! Thanks for being so nice.

[scottjs]

I am going to try some teas too. I am looking for a big variety pack till I learn what I love.

[stefffe]

have you tried the G2 version of gatoraid? its low carb and still quite flavorful. And the water is a good way to lose weight...as it fills you up and cures the craving. If you can get yourself to drink a bottle of water when you are hungry....and waita few minutes...chances are the hungar pains will pass. And the sodas are a killer.... even diet coke tricks your body into wanting sweets.....ive had to back way down on my diet coke addiction......drinking tea and water instead. OH....and the sugar free koolaides are YUM-O!!!! even the walmart versions are just as sweet as the real thing.....and they count as ZERO points on the weight watchers scale.....so you can have as much as you want!!!

good luck on the diet scott.....dont call it a diet...call it a habit changing!!!

[scottjs]

Stefffe--thanks for the tips. I will try the Gatoraid!! But not to worry I do not drink any kind of cola! Gatorid and water are my hangups!! Well that and Robert Downey Junior. Oh wait he is Janice's hangup--Never mind.

[janicelovesmickey]

yeah and my hangup has zero calories lol

Cut out the Gatorade first. Slowly cut out the coffee. I'm right there with you, man... I drink way too much Diet Coke in a day. If I don't have it, I am a grump. I hate being chained to a DRINK!! I dont' think four cups is too much, but if you want to lose weight, you've got to cut out the bad stuff, and coffee is one of those "bad" things. =sigh=
