Hi. Just wanted to take the time to introduce myself since it seems I will be here a while. I made an account on here a while back, but I have just recently started using it.
I am switching over from Weight Watchers where I lost 48 pounds in...about 2 years...I know that is a long time, but now I realize that it took so long because of how crazy I went on cheat/treat days (Saturday).
Anyway, now that I have cut cheat days and switched to counting calories I have already lost about 9 pounds in less than 4 weeks. So I am pretty excited about this and hope I can keep up this pace.

Nice job on your weight loss. I also just recently came from Weight Watchers. I was successful on their program but at the end of the day, it wasn't teaching me much except what foods were low points and which ones were not. I had NO idea how many calories I could/was consuming. I love it over here! The community here is awesome!0
