I'm 5'2" and weigh around 120 lbs. Now I know that's not OVER weight but I know I could be thinner too. I drink about 4 to 5 cans of Mt.Dew everyday! That is truly the number. I can't seem to live without the stuff but I know I need to drink more water. Here recently I've been drinking 3 cans a day. I know if I could cut it out completely I would lose some weight! I'm sure! Does anyone know of a good way to get myself off of Mt. Dew!? I've tried cold turkey but I just can't do it!! Help!

I am the same way. I am about the same size as you too. I can't live without the stuff. I drink more like 6 cans a day. I have cut myself back a bit over the last couple of days. I try different kinds of soda, but it just isn't the same. I try juice drinks and all, but still not the same. I had leukemia as a child and the chemotherapy has weakened my teeth really bad, but I still drink the mt. dew, even though the dentist tells me not to. It is eating my teeth...literally. I don't know what to do.. I try drinking more water, but I literally get a horrible headache if I don't drink mt. dew.

Well if you ever figure something out be sure to pass it along! And I will do the same! I think some of it is in our heads..I mean we can go without mt.dew...we just have to do it!

I love mt. dew and vault my two most favorite soda's. I will buy either one once in a while but not all the time for I know it's not good. But like you like mt. dew I am that way with coffee will drink it non-stop. It's a hard habit to brake but slowly learn to just tell yourself you don't need it and start drinking oher things. I wish you the best of luck on that one.

Have you tried Diet MT. Dew? I have the same problem but luckily I'm hooked on diet pepsi! LOL My son drinks Diet Mt. Dew all the time. He says it is pretty good. I just never acquired the taste for Mt. Dew myself. Good Luck and yes you're right about the weight loss if you would switch to diet or eliminate it. I lost 23 pounds (along with excercising) when I switched from regular to diet pepsi.

Well seeing that 23 pounds up there is def. a slap in the head all in itself! Thank you! I've tried diet mt.dew but for some reason I can just not get use to it!

Mm Mountain dew is good. But Maybe you should just stop buying it. or reward yourself when you don't drink it by buying something a blouse you liked after a week of drinking 1 can a day.
