MSNBC has an interesting article online right now about 9 strategies to lose weight that were tested on a sample of people, and how much on average was lost. One of the tips that caught my eye was to stop drinking all soda, including diet.

Sounds crazy, but I just read this article over at CBS News online. Apparently the incidence of obese - not overweight - women and men has not significantly increased since 1999-2000.
