Great job, BLACKBOX! Young guy at my center, well, younger than me, gave up smoking, must be over a year now. If he holds his breath and then puffs out, you can still see smoke come out, which shows the lasting effects. I'm glad he gave up smoking, it was this that took his fathers life.
555, just knowing you guys from on here, I'd stand next to all of you guys, in the PCM, probably have my arm around ya's like we were best friends from childhood.

i recently started trying to lose weight i was at 217 im down to about 203-204 in 2 weeks time.....the first week or 2 the weight just falls off.....
i dont believe in those gimmick diets like south beach atkins etc.....i believe strongly in simply eating a healthy diet, excercising and drinking only water and some milk every once in a while
dont give up, anybody can do it

Amen, brother!
I can sympathize. I was off for 6 months myself due to an accident...gained about fifty pounds. The good news is that most of it will come off...the bad news is that it took me almost two years to do it. I started smoking after having quit for 7 years to control the eating. All I can say is drink A LOT of water and quit focusing so much on the diet thing. I found that when I did that and started eating what I liked (in small amounts) and doing physical things I enjoyed instead of killing myself with a workout routine I started losing. I also got a large dog and had to walk him nightly. It's fun and the wife and kids can do it with you.

Great advice, kiwi, and welcome to the Brown Cafe.

I take these two on a two mile each, every morning before sunrise. Excellent exercise.
When I was working, I could eat anything I wanted and as much as I wanted without gaining weight. Just before I retired, I bought a treadmill to use in the winter. I also cut a lot of firewood and hike and hunt in the woods. Since I wasn't burning calories like I was on the big brown truck, I also started eating less at meals and often only eat fruit or vegetables for lunch.
Get out of bad habits too. I found myself getting on the computer late at night and automatically going for a snack. I was gaining weight and suddenly realized that I wasn't hungry when I was doing this-it just beacame a habit. Leaving the table before you feel full helps as well.

I've read most of this thread and think there has been lots of good advice.
I once lost 155 lbs in a few months. However the cost of doing so was pretty expensive. It cost me around $15k in cash, a house, a minivan and 1/2 of everything else I owned. But I didn't have to listen to her anymore. It was well worth the price.

Just a quick update and a pat on my own back.....still smoke free after 2 months or more and lost about 10lbs. But I lost more then 10lbs of fat as I have been going to the gym 5 days a week. So congrats to me!!!
Good job!

Good for you KOC especially the smoking part, I have recently joined a gym too and go 5 or 6 days a week. I haven't noticed the weight loss (I don't weigh myself) but I have noticed the stairs aren't my enemy anymore and I just feel better. Messed up my knee Sunday
so I'm taking a few days off from the gym. We can keep track with each other and compare notes..whadya think?
