Speaking of Obesity, CNN is reporting the nine states with the most obese people--In no particular order: Texas,, Michigan, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia

Hmm, I live in southern Mississippi and we've got some big'uns here,lol. But there are also very healthy people here too. It's all these darn casino buffets and the sweet tea.

My husband gets very ill if he consumes anything with asparteme. I don't care for it either, and usually use splenda in my coffee.

That's enough symptoms to warrant a week or so of no sweeteners just to see, huh?

Actually it took about a month to get it out of my husband's system and to notice a huge improvement. But you can also find just as much information saying this is an urban legend and not true. But since it helped my husband I tend to believe it's not good for you.

It took about a month for my girlfriend to notice the difference as well. She lived a rather healthy lifestyle in the first place, and this was the only thing she changed those few weeks.

My daughter gets headaches from the gum/mints/candy and water drinks. She goes through stages where she stops and then starts up again.

So since I live in Texas I guess my extra 10+ pounds still make me look thin compared to the majority of people around me. Cool!

Fresca is my sugar-free drink of choice. Diet green tea is a close second, followed by regular iced tea with Splenda. I can't afford to take more than a tiny sip of real Coke or Dr. Pepper or I'll get hooked.

VIVA LA FRESCA!!!!!!!!

I know. :blushing: I have probably sipped three times in the last decade. The lime drinks were tempting!

So far it hasn't bothered me, but I know I should watch. Thank you for caring. :blowkiss:

awww you're welcome sweet gal! :blowkiss:

I'm still not giving up my diet coke. No way, no how.

i've been a Coke 'freak' for years...the REAL coke classic, but i just can't drink the diet Coke, BUT i've finally gotten use to diet Pepsi, caffeine free, & i'm not going to give it up either....i usually have two a day & i haven't noticed crazing sweets at all.....
