Starting at 179 lbs.
Started yesterday with my usual Wendy's drive-thru after my poker session, where for the first time ever I ordered a water with my Big Bacon Classic Burger and Fries.

Hello, my name is GG and I've gone 1 whole year without drinking a soda pop.
(Full disclosure: I have had a few sips of Ginger Ale here and there to calm a upset stomach, but likely didn't amount to half a can over the whole year).
Weight is exactly the same, so the stuff your hear about dropping ~10lbs just from eliminating soft drinks from your diet doesn't check out (at least in my case). Although being the exact same weight a year older ain't bad either (although I think my slightly different pandemic diet could easily be responsible for a few recently dropped pounds).
But I also haven't had a kidney stone over that whole year (whereas I typically pass two a year). Did have a couple of episodes where I thought there were signs of a kidney stone that didn't materialize, so it's possible it is just short term variance. But, so far so good.
Haven't missed it all, so I'm going to stick with it.
