HI! I am 33 and a mother of 5 year old twins! When I first had my kids I was over weight and the pounds just dropped off! I was thrilled! Then I quit smoking a year ago and they reappeared! I am hoping that keeping track of everything I am doing will make a difference and I can get back to the weight I was after giving birth! I am active but LOVE food!

    Congratulations on stopping the habit!! Smoking is very unhealthy but unfortunately people tend to gain weight when they stop. Gaining a little weight does not even compare to life and health that you gained by quitting the habit of smoking. You will get back down to your weight and be more happy with yourself than ever before!!

    Good luck!

    :smile: Hi I am Vicki and I am new to this website, I have a long weight loss journey ahead of me. I joined Weight watchers about 5 weeks ago. I have lost 11.5 pounds so far. I know I need to write down what I eat so I thought an online journal would be a lot easier than trying to lug around a notebook. I just wanted to say hello.
