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!

Jump right in! we usually have a weekly weigh in thread where chat and post our losses (and gains).

congrats on the big loss so far! hope you see many more pounds disappear!

Wow! 40 lbs with no soda and walking regularly? That's awesome!! I wish I drank sugary soda so I could give it up and hope for weight loss Welcome!

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!

I'm ready too. Sick of the 2 lbs lost, 1 lbs gain thing. I need to lose 20lbs at least. Had a baby 2 months ago...and not liking what I see. I have done WW before, but have fallen off the WW Wagon and need to stay on it this time!

Welcome NJ Mama! I've been pretty off the wagon this past two weeks, I keep telling myself that THIS week I'll get back on.... Seriously lacking in motivation... Here we go off together again!!

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).

Congrats on your weight loss so far! 40 pounds is not easy to lose! I think you have the determination to hit your goals. Lets keep each other motivated and hit our goals!
