After 6 months I've not only reached my goal of losing almost 50 pounds but also ticked a few more boxes:
I quit smoking in November last year, got the cholesterol down to a very healthy level, I'm not depressed any more and I've started running. And guess what ... I'm feeling strong and healthy.
BTW: I did NOT gain weight when I quit!!!
my 50th birthday in 2009, 185 pounds
today before my run, 136 pounds
