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!
