Try the nutrition plans here on FT. Just fill out your profile and what your goals are, and it will break down your diet macros for you. DX

There is often a lot of "hidden" problems with diet soda too. Check for sodium - also not going to help you lose any weight. And honestly, aspertame is never a good thing. WW is a great starting point but it is VERY easy to eat an incredably unhealthy diet on WW. I did WW too. Honestly, I'd say ditch the soda all together. With a healthy balanced diet (calories, carbs, fat, protein - not points) you will notice a difference. Cheers! Erika :love:
