A while ago I made a conscious effort to drink less cola... maybe drop a few? Well... the one thing my hub and I both liked was the diet Lipton green tee! About that time my hub's headaches were double, and very severe... even landed him in the ER... anyway, that's when he started reading about Aspartame and absolutely will not drink anything with it... so yea, umm, we've lost 0 lbs between the two of us
