i was doing WW before the SP. i got tired of figuring out the points to everything. I haven't been doing SP for very long, infact, i did it for about 2 weeks and then got a cold and went back to eating like crap for 2 weeks and back on it strong since this monday. i lost about 8lbs in those 1st two weeks and i felt great. none of that crappy feeling that atkins people talk about. i don't know about you, but i would rather feel good during the whole process and lose it a little slower. its good to see another SP person show up here!
