I've stopped drinking fizzy drinks at home, and I miss them lots! Thankfully when I go to my grandparents they always offer me a can (and a kitkat) I can never say no to my gramps! But I know a couple people who drank lots of diet coke then stopped and lost about 5 pounds.
Is all tea out of the question? You could try green tea, which is really good for you!0 -

Everything but water! Did think today about having a slice of lemon in hot water.
First real day today and I am sooo tired cos I've not had my caffeine fix, usually I'd be buzzing right now but my eyes are heavy.

Nothing brought this week either, although I will be running out of cleanser and I have none in my "reserves" Does anyone have a recipe for make up remover/cleanser? I wear a lot of eyeliner & mascara so it needs to be quite gentle on the eyes.
Certainly do: use olive oil as eyemakeup remover, or baby oil. Works like a charm, as does any cooking oil. As for cleanser, try damp cotton wool with a little moisturiser on it.Creative idiot with a passion for spending

Can I join in please? I'm new on here so am a bit late joining in! However, I know EXACTLY what I need to give up and that's takeaways (actually I realised this a couple of weeks ago and I've not had one for eleven days. Considering I usually have two or three a week this is terrific going!) I spend far too much money on them and my bank balance and waist are not thanking me for it!

Welcome Jenny,
I'm doing alright on my challenge. I find myself trying to catergorise what is a cake and what is not....Is a muffin a cake? Is a toasted tea-cake a cake?
Endless questions, lol0 -
Hi new joiners and old lags
Has it really been two weeks already?? that is 14% of the overall time. Doesn't sound so bad until you factor in that it means we are so much closer to Ch******s.
I have held my resolve today and even REJECTED free cake, I think I may finally have lost the plot - lol.
Best wishes to all for staying strong for the next week£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)
