I have not had a soda of any kind since Feb 2010 and have not had a cup of coffee since early May 2010. The best advice I can share is start small and increase your workouts...

Sounds great! Like I said, I have been exercising regularly now for a month and a half or so (up from exercising sporadically). I lost no weight in the first month but finally today I saw a number on the scale I have not seen in over a year (I got sick and gained about 5 pounds that I just could not get rid of)! Woohoo!! Altogether, I would love to lose about 25 pounds. I eat quite well. Of course, I could make some more improvements there, but I do well enough that I am just going to concentrate on the exercise now.
