    Welcome. One of the big things I have learned here is that eating is not a diet, but a lifestyle. I am losing weight, though not as fast as I would like. I had stayed the same for three weeks, and now it is coming off again. Some on here tell you to eat strict like a diet. For me, that just doesn't work. I like a donut, a candy bar, a beer, etc. Yet, in the past 12 weeks, I have taken off 20 pounds. And I can honestly say that I have eaten at least one donut a week.

    How, count calories. And, I the day I eat the donut, I have ridden my bike for at least 90 minutes. Then, I ask, is it really worth the calories? Once in a while it is. Other times, I go for an apple.

    Today, I found candy at IKEA that tastes just like a health candy bar. Yet, they are small size. 9 makes one regular size candy bar. Now, I can have one and get the taste, with only 30 calories.

    Good luck. Quitting smoking and getting your weight healthy will give you a long life and more joy.
