This is my pop drink (occasionally). Best consumed chilled or cold:
http://www.zevia.com/
No sugar, gluten, nor calories. Diabetic-friendly, sweetened with Stevia (Rebaudiana). Have just tried the Orange and Ginger Ale flavours.
(The first time, I detected a 'metal' aftertaste, and had found out that the can had an expiry date past due)!
The newest batch arrived at my local supermarket, fresher, and with no aftertaste. I consumed the Orange flavour again, nice and cold straight from the fridge...ah, very good.
If any if you can find it where you shop, try it at least and see if it can pass for an alternative pop beverage.
Cheers!

Well, I have now lost 12 lbs and broke into the 220s at a trim 228.6 lbs on my 5'10" frame. ;D
Trying for 220 lbs by April 15th. I will keep you folks posted. Losing the 12 pounds by only watching how much I ate has allowed my body to feel better than it has felt for a long time. I now have the energy to exercise which will accelerate the weight loss.

Picked up a treadmill yesterday. The last one at Costco, the floor display model. It's industrial gym strength Freemotion 730. I negotiated it for $475. It's got all the bells and whistles that I'll likely never use, but it's strong enough for my fat ass. I WILL use it daily. When I don't I'll use the bike. And in the next year I'm losing 100 lbs. And I'm going gluten and dairy free...

Good for you. Some of those classes can be really hard but if you keep at it you will be amazed at how your body will adapt. You may even get to a point where you continue to work out on your own after the class is done because you feel like there is still one thing left in the tank.
A friend of mine does those boot camps too. She has nothing but good things to say.
On another note, I haven't been doing so well from a fitness perspective in recent years - softball once a week and hiking once a month in summer was pretty much it - and the softball was mitigated by the beer and wings afterwards.
This year, now that I am in a more bike friendly area, I am going to get back on the roads like I did when I was in University. I really enjoyed biking everywhere I went (still need the car for work though). Also going to up the tempo on the hiking this year, as well as get a gym membership through work (large discount) to fill in the gaps.
I always used to be doing something, but that stopped when I graduated and started work. Time to get back to it!

They just put bike lanes around Moncton making it safer so Sue and I are looking to start biking to work which is going to be great.

I've now gone 7 months of clean eating without breaking diet. Having most recently conquered Easter the next big forseeable challenge is the summertime BBQ get togethers. I don't think I'll get through the summer without some treats but the longer I go the more I want to see how far I can go.

Not so much what but how.... I've been told something small before and absolutely nothing for at least an hour after. I don't know why the latter works but I've been doing that and it seems to.
