Congratulations!! I too have decided to lose 40 lbs. after my birthday a week and a half ago. I went to my yearly appointment and spoke with the doctor about my weight and didn't realize how high my BMI was. I've never dieted before and have always eaten whatever I want, whenever I want it. I'm doing Slim Fast right now with my husband and I've lost 3 lbs. I know not a lot, but I want to stick with this and keep the weight off. I've been overweight my entire twenties and have finally decided I don't want to waste my life hating myself and having low self esteem. Good luck with the Weight Watchers and PM me if you ever need to talk.
