Soda is just bad diet or not. Stick to water, Crystal lite and zero cal vitamin water and you will be happier.

diet soda is not the healthiest thing for u for sure. in fact it may actually be bad for u with the chemicals they put in them. however, from a fat loss dietary standpoint IMO it makes very little difference in ur ability to lose body fat! and thats the perspective i think the OP is looking at it from right now.?
if drinking diet soda will help u cope mentally with all the other sacrifices ur having to make while losing body fat i say DRINK THEM AS OFTEN AS U LIKE!and do not feel like they are keeping u from losing fat because im proof they do NOT!

I agree you may need them mentally but even diet soda is loaded with sodium and I would bet you drop some water weight with out the diet soda?

I'm not much of a drinker any more. Used to drink excessively on weekends when I was in first few years of university. Now, if I consume any alcohol, it might be one or two drinks a year. I don't miss it.....and I have enough other bad habits to keep me in trouble.

I want too but know the first step is the hardest...

gatorade/powerade = sugar same as soda = NO!LoL well thank u for beiN proof!
as for ur statement about "not into the whole bf% thing", im guessing u made that statement because u dont fully understand body composition. lets say hypothetically u weigh 120lbs and are 30% bf. this means u have 36lbs of fat on ur person. now lets say u take the same person who weighs 130lbs (10lbs more) and they are only 20%bf. they only have 26lbs fat on them.. which one do u think is gonna look better??
total body weight is far less important for aesthetic purposes than bodyfat%. u say u want to lose 25-35lbs. well what if u lose 25lbs but only 5 lbs of that is fat?? then u have dropped 25lbs in weight but have only reduced the amount of fat on ur body by 5lbs!
bodyfat% is major! body composition is major! i suggest u read a little more into it as well as look at these pics so u can see the impact bodyfat% has on the way u look with or without clothes!
my suggestion, forget the 25-35lbs of weight u want to lose. figure out ur current bodyfat% and create a target bodyfat%..
google "BOD POD" for ur area and make an appointment.
