I decided to quit smoking after almost 20 years of smoking and so one Evening I put them out and haven't smoked ever since. I am a non-smoker since 6 months and proud of it. Only ex-smoker will understand this, but you start to eat more. You start not taking your eyes of the fridge. Everything tastes so much better without smoke and I gained 25 pounds.

I am very close to menopause because everything is just of balance right now. I found this cream and it helps a little bit, some woman actually lose weight, but of course not me.

I have nothing to wear besides 2 pair of sweat pants. I have a closet full of clothes that I can't wear. The most are a size 12 (good old times) and 2 jeans in a size 16 don't fit right now.

That's it, I am going to get healthy, active and will be a size 12 non smoker in 6 months. That's my goal!

Nice to meet you all!
