Then a year ago I moved... which brought on lots of new stress... and I got a little lazy... and I starting eating anything I wanted... and now I need to drop those pounds again. Keep yelling.

A few years ago I gave up Pepsi (and other pop) for Lent and lost 20 pounds. I wasn't smart enough to make it a life-style change.
I have again given up pop (for the most part, with the occasional 12 ounce indulgence) and have lost at least 10 pounds in the past month. Not sure it's only the pop, though, as I also gave up french fries, which I was eating about 3 or 4 times a week.
Now that I've started exercising to prepare for the season, I expect to drop another 10 pounds easily by November 1.
