Talking Ready to do this!

Hi everyone! I just got out my getting started materials - ready to get started!!

I have lost about 40 pounds since October by giving up sugary soda and starting a walking program, but have re-gained a few pounds recently, even though I am still walking and not drinking soda....so apparently, my guestimate eating is too much.

In the past I lost 30 pounds with WW and since I have about 25 more that I'd like to lose, WW starts tomorrow. It's tried and true and we all know it works!!

So - Hi!

Yes - let's just say I was drinking more calories than I was eating. To the tune of about 96 ounces of regular soda a day! I should say I also tried South Beach for a little while during this loss and cut out bread and pasta.

Thanks for the welcome!

That's awesome! I'm so glad this exists here on the board. I've been doing WW on my own since 1/1/06 and have lost 38 pounds. I tell you, I could kick myself for not having done this years ago. Last year I tried Atkins, lost 21, but only kept off 18 out of 21 pounds when I started this year. WW is so easy for me. Never deprived. (I like my carbs).
