Hello,

I stopped smoking about 10 weeks ago but have piled on the pounds.

I am a bloke, I am now am 13 st 1lb, and growing, I should weigh 10st 8lb, so I have somehow to lose 1 stone 6 lbs, (9kg).

I sit at the computer all day, but try to motivate myself to walk to the shops, but this usually happens when I want chocolate or some other foody fix

I have seen advice like only try to lose 1lb a week, but that will 20 weeks - or nearly 6 months - yikes!

I really need to lift my mood as I feel quite negative and depressed.

Thanks
