I am all for a fitness challenge. I am 145lbs at 4'11 but I am a woman and i should be at 110-123 for my height so I need to loose like 30 lbs but my biggest problem is I drink soda all day long and if I dont have the soda I get a headache as I am addicted to the Caffenine from the soda so how do I not get a headache what is the magic cure I wonder. Let me know when this all gets under way so I can join in on the challenge

You've got to rule it......not let it rule you. Start by ALWAYS having a bottle of water within reach and keep a bottle of Tylenol handy too. If you feel a headache coming on pop a couple Tylenol. Stick to this routine and I suspect you'll be soda/headache free in a couple weeks.  :Twocents:

A good friend of mine owned an Arcade/Sub shop in the early 80s. He earned a living on the machines and fed himself from the shop. He also drank Mt Dew from the fountain constantly (The distributors charge via the # of cups sold, not volume of soda).  He finally realized that he was overloading on the stuff and quit cold turkey. Said that he had a round-the-clock migraine style headache for over a month. Can't drink any caffeinated beverages now or it triggers it all over again.

Studies have proved that caffeine is one of the most addictive drugs on the market, right up there with nicotine.  Withdraws from it, the headache should last about a week or so.  There is no magic cure, but if you wean yourself off it will go alot smoother.  Start by just drinking on less pop (or soda depending on what you call it) for a week, then two and so on.  This will help ease your body's dependency on the drug.  Stopping cold turkey is not always recommended, because of the withdraws and it can prolong the symptoms.  I too suffer from this addiction, and is one of my biggest setbacks to my weight, but I just love the taste of an ice cold Coke, especially out of a glass bottle, aaaaahhhhhhh.....Cooooooke!
