Are you getting enough water daily? I try to get in 3-4 liters of water a day. It may sound elementary, but just don't by the soda - especially if it's not diet coke!! Don't keep it near you! If you don't care for the taste of water, try some of the many flavored powders additives that are out there. Hope this helps! Keep your head up, Shelly! ;) 

There are also flavoured waters out by Dasani and Aquafina. They are 5 or 1o calories and they taste great 

I agree with Cathy, I use great value sugar powders-10 calories a packet as I don't like plain water. And not buying the soda keeps me from drinking it at home. I still have a diet pepsi now and again. Looks like you have focused on what you are eating. Add a little exercise and the pounds should start coming off. 

You know what worked for me? I buy the flavored seltzer water. The kind that has just flavor. No added sweetners, or artificial sweetners. My favorites are orange and wild cherry. I think the company is called Vintage. But my local grocery store sells their own brand too. They are about .69 cents for a 1 liter. I get the fizz and a nice light flavor too. After a few days of drinking these, it felt like I was drinking soda. Now when I treat myself to a real Coke or Pepsi, I can't stand how sweet they are. It took a while, but I just stuck with it. Stock up and keep them cold. They won't fizz up as much when you try to open them if they are cold. I know you can do this. If I can, anybody can. I used to drink a 6-pack of 24 oz Pepsi a day. YIKES. That was a lot of sugar & Caffeene. I think the Caffeene was harder to get over than the sugar. Hang in there, and Good Luck.
