Hi JustJeni...

You will get many different opinions on the caffiene thing. If you are a regular coffee drinker, then go ahead and have one cup, it probably won't affect much. If you want to ween yourself down slowly. Maybe try 1/2decaf and 1/2reg until you can go 100% decaf. A caffiene headache is no fun at all... As to your soda question.. I would limit those too. While they are no calories, there is lots of sodium and other bad things in them. Maybe use a diet soda as a treat once in a while. The key for all of us is to get the water in.. while dieting or not, we all should be drinking more water.

This whole dieting thing is really just to teach us healhty habits and ways of eating. There is no fobidden food... just certain foods that we shouldn't eat everyday or in large quantities.

Good luck on your journey...
