Hoping this will be a very useful tool in my weight loss journey. Ten years ago I was 204 lbs., joined WW and lost 50 lbs. I have gone back up to 186. Im done paying WW and think this site is awesome. This time I am exercising. Actually joined a gym and meet my daughter there. I have a problem with SODA!. Pepsi! I drank it all the time. I recently quit smoking and used the Pepsi as my comfort. I love the carbonation and syrup, especially fountain sodas. So I just quit cold turkey yesterday and replaced it for NOW with Crystal Light. It's been okay so far. Haven't gotten any severe headaches. My mind is there. I am determined. I hope to find support here and maybe some friends. My goal is to be healthier and happier and to lose around 40 pounds. I have three teenage daughters and a golden retriever and two cats. I am a medical transcriptionist so I sit ALL day.
