Howdy! Thought I would post a quick intro and then spend some time snooping around the forums.

I joined Weight Watchers about a month ago - so far, I've just been tracking my points and not even trying to hit a certain # - setting a baseline, I guess, and I eat anywhere from 50-70 points a day...yikes! So, I can see how sticking to 30 would help me lose weight really fast! Luckily, I'm pretty active or I would easily be much heavier.

I'm going to Asia next week for 2 weeks - I am a picky eater, so maybe I'll lose a bit there between the weird food and the heat/humidity (not planning to track points as I can't imagine how that would work with street food and such) and when I get home, will plan on really trying to stick to the points plan.

My downfalls are soda (Mt. Dew - it's like crack cocaine and 10 points per can!) and eating out. I like to cook, but being single, I hate eating the same thing 2 or 3 nights in a row! Oh, and I hate veggies, LOL.

So, anyways....that's my story

Welcome! Remember that you can swap FitPoints (beyond your baseline) and you can eat Weekly points as well. Cutting out the soda would help you a lot on the points standpoint. It is possible to eat out on WW. Some people tend to reserve most of their weekly points for eating out. I find that if I carefully plan out where I am eating out and decide in advance what to eat that it helps.
