    Awesome man, congrats on quitting smoking, I need to quit myself! I've been running and eating better for about 3 and a half months and I'm down 40 pounds. It is possible, just gotta stick with it which is something I've never done in the last 10 years. But this app is awesome. I really feel like my fitness pal has helped me a lot, really helps me stay on track. And these forums are great for support too. Because when no one else at work or in your life is trying to lose wight it's hard to talk to them about it all the time. Anyways, I liked your story and wanted to say good luck!

    The best way I have lost weight is low carb and high fat. It really works for me. You have to keep an eye though because if you creep back up with the carbs that undoes the good!! I lost over a stone at the beginning of the year then kinda lost my way and am now back on it!!!! Good luck x
