I also wanted to add -- since it may be helpful to others -- that I'm still drinking caffeine. Honestly, I'm a caffeine junkie. However, I have cut back significantly. I could drink more than a pot of coffee a day. Lately, I've cut back to two cups and haven't really been drinking soda at all. I've also been drinking a ton of water. I used to drink hardly any. But I figure one, it's excellent for you anyway, and two, it may help me achieve my goal!
