hello every one im a new person to this site. i am trying to lose all the baby weight that i gained 6 years ago. i would be glad of some advice if any one has got some?, also i am trying to give up smoking as i have smoked for 10 years and i have had enough

Sure this is the place for you! Losing weight's the name of the game and quitting smoking is definitely a good thing! I haven't smoked since two years ago. You're not alone! Welcome!

I am new here also and was a smoker I stopped smoking 3 years ago, and took up eating instead. The way I stopped smoking was, the night before I stopped was my daughters birthday party we had a few people over and after all the kids were gone we were drinking and having fun I think I smoked about a packed that night I woke up the next morning and I felt like I had a elephant on my chest and I was coughing and I tried to smoke but I would just start cough and I new it was time for me to stop and beginning of April 2004 I have not had one since. At times I would get that taste to have one so I would have a life saver or sucker or mint and soon it would pass. Make sure you are ready to stopped for yourself. Good luck I know it is not easy. If you vent PM me
