Yippy, 2#'s in 5 days is great! I accidentally gave up soda on a long fast, when it was time to eat again I just couldn't stomach the soda. Now I only drink it occasionally with Rum :)
Soda is more difficult because it is a physical addition too. Coffee isn't bad for you, have you tried substituting that in order to get the caffine?
