John, Oh the nerve! :) Keep taking it one step at a time making small manageable changes where you can and taking the time to adjust to them. Big deviations from lifestyle are hard to maintain, baby steps towards the bigger goal are the way to go. Keep persevering! Danielle, Bilingual Support Specialist

yep, that is what I have heard. If you try to drop calorie intake to drastically your system will go into a type of shock and will have a more difficult time in loosing the weight. It is amazing that this part of the board gets the least activity where weight gain is more of a concern than smoking, at least it is with my doctor. I should clarify, he wants me to be like 170 LBS and a NON-Smoker. Oh and my wife wants me to look like Jon BonJovi. :confuse: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 75 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,875 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $262.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 36 [B]Seconds:[/B] 16

I was already on Weight Watchers when I quit. It really works. You lose it slow but that is the best way! Good luck to us all!

Well, my Dr told me to start my workout routine at least 1 month BEFORE I quit smoking. I am not much for following directions. As far as making healty food choices I found out that Strawberry shortcake, just because it has fruit, dairy and grain isn't one of those choices I should make :) Ooooh but it is Sooooo Good! So, I am about ready to call a Mayday signal, my weight is getting way over. Just took the workout to the next level. Now at 234 lbs that 10 more since I quit and about 50 more than I should be. Goal is 184 (I am 5' 10") I will not cross that 235 threshold for any reason! Going to try and start winding calorie count back slowly unil I get to abt 2000 calories a day and start seeing weighloss. Current regiment Bowflex 4 times a week morning Walk 20 Minutes 10 AM daily Aerobics (low impact) 3 times a week at noon Ping-Pong 3 games at 3 PM M-F Current Weight 234 on 7/17/07 Lets see how long it takes to get it down, not that I am in a hurry but do need to get below 220 quickly or I wont have any pants to wear to work!

Lilly, You've got the idea! It can be frustrating to have temporarily reached a stand still but rest assured if you keep up your great effort, those last few pounds will come off! Danielle, Bilingual Support Specialist
