Hi I figured I would share how I have been doing this past month. I started at 195# went down to 190# two weeks ago. Then came Thanksgiving oh boy Up to 194#. And this week I lost a pound. I am just watching my portion sizes until I get it down pat. I am joining Curves in January. Wish me luck. How is everyone else doing with their weight loss?

  Congrats on quitting smoking I quit 2 months ago. Start out easy like drink water exclusively, it flushes your system of all kinds of nasty stuff. Eliminate junk foodas and drinks, you can drop 5 lbs alone by doing this. Make sure you are eating the correct portion sizes, I was not at all and I have lost some weight just by doing those two simple things. Personally I would wait on adding other things to do until you get these down pat. You don't want to get overwhelmed because that gives you a bigger reason to quit.

  FYI studies have shown that those that drink diet drinks tend to weigh more then those that don't. Weird but true.
