Introduction
 

I finally registered after years of lurking!
I've been overweight since puberty and have lost weight several times. Now that I'm done have kids, I'm hoping to keep it off for good this time.
I have changed my whole way of life. I was a soda addict, grazer & couch potato. I bought a treadmill Halloween of 2010 and have used it almost daily since. I went cold turkey off soda after drinking at least a 2-liter a day for ten years. I count calories now, stopped eating fast food and cut out almost all processed foods.

It has been a hard road but getting easier every day. I have asthma, stress incontinence, and weak ankles. I tried doing aerobics classes but find working out alone, at home is better for me. I do not want to pee myself in front of a group of strangers!

Nice to meet you all,
Dani

Hey!
Keep up the good work. I had a coca-cola "addiction" myself. I drank nothing else all day. Just lowering the amount didn't work so I went cold turkey myself about eight months ago. Never looked back, though I had crazy headaches at the begining.
Good luck with your weight loss and welcome to the site!:)
