Hi All, I quit smoking a little over a year ago (for good this time!!!). I started off strong with exercise and then depression hit bad and well, let's say I gained a bunch of weight and was overweight to begin with. I just heard someone on tv say that you would not NOT keep track of the money in your checkbook and it should be no different with what you eat. I'm So glad to have found this site. I'm thinking of trying the C25K also, but I'm going to start off slow and just try to walk several times a week. Scary...

    I had done really well on watching what I ate, excercising: 2 hours a day. Then I went in the hospital, had deaths in the family and put all of my weight back on and stopped the daily exercise. I too, am a "newbie here". I started this week. Hang in there, we will support you. Take one step at a time, one day at a time. Keeping track and being accountable for all that we eat truly does make a difference.

    Congrats on quitting smoking! I've been there myself. That's huge and quite an accomplishment in itself! Slow and steady wins the race. I started C25K a few days ago and I surprised myself. It's a great tool. I think you'll like it when you think you're ready. Best of wishes!
