in Introduce Yourself
I just joined yesterday, and today was my first day actually dieting...or shall I say eating healthy! I am a dedicated soda drinker (Yep-regular soda pop!) And today is the first time in years I have not had one...so far today that is the worst part of eating healthier. I need to lose about 60 lbs and could really use all the support I can get.

    Hi Coco! I love pop, but thankfully I'm addicted to diet pop! I've become mildly obsessive about being on this site. It really helps to read what others are doing. Others have been very supportive. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    Welcome! My name is Jenn and I am pretty new to this site too. Well I've been a member since August but not until recently have I continued to log on :) Day 1 is never easy!!! I personally am not much of a soda drinker-I was a diet soda drinker for a while. I have it on occasion now. SO are you stopping the soda-cold turkey? Or are you switching to Diet? Best luck to you on your Day 1!

    Keep up the good work! you can do it and remember that everyday. I used to drink 3-4 32 oz dp's everyday but i went cold turkey and haven't had one since dec 23. A:smile::smile: fter the first couple of days, I didn't really want one and if your watching calories just look at how many calories are in one and you won't want it after you've just burn off that amount during your daily exercise.

    Love the username. You'll do great. I'm really new to the site, as well. I've been on since Oct or Nov, but recently (Monday) started doing it regularly....and am wondering why I stopped! Seriously, if you want to be accountable and realistic, this is the site for you.
    Lots of support and friends out here! Good Luck!
