Missy, don't be so hard on yourself. It sounds like your exercise may have gotten off track. If I don't work out I don't lose at all. Do you do any strength training? You don't need heavy weights-just something to give the muscles a little challenge. As we lose weight we lose muscle as well as fat and the more muscle you can retain the better your metabolism will work. Good idea to get off the soda wagon. I quit all soda except plain seltzer years ago. Regular soda seemed too sweet and the aftertaste of the artificial sweeteners in diet soda was awful. Plus testing has found neither is good for you and messes with your system. I do have a fond memory of drinking a "real" coke in my grampas kitchen when I was a kid. The stuff doesn't even taste the same anymore.
