I'm new to MFP, was told it's a great place to start. Quit smoking 6 weeks ago, joined the gym 6 weeks ago, my weight has been stable for the past year but not where I want the stability. I'm looking become healthier and lose some weight, but need to do it the right way and the healthy way. Hopefully some support will do me good.

Hi to all... Let the Journey Begin!

    Thanks... and yes the quitting smoking is a reason I am doing this again. I lost a lot of weight many years ago and have stayed pretty stable... but then about 2 years ago I quit smoking and gained 20 lbs. I lost 30 lbs a while after that... and have stayed there for the past year but obviously started smoking again. So I promised myself that I would not gain weight when I quit this time. So I joined the gym that way if I overeat for the smoking then I can still be ok. That went great for the first 6 weeks, however now I want to try and lose and do a bit better. So far this week has gone pretty good.

    Thanks to all of you who responded... nice to see people in the same boat.
