What is YOUR OWN personal keeping weight OFF???MINE IS .......please take what HELPS and let go of the rest - to be HELPFUL is MY only aim - thank you - for ME I have been working on MY choices to eat when I am hungry since 2005 and just recently I was taught by two women - who HELP with food addictions - which I used FOOD instead of NICOTINE - since I don't use MY DRUG NICOTINE to cope with the issues inside of ME - in MY past I smoked 50 cigs a day to deal with MY eating addictions - I wouldn't eat for a month- just smoke and just live off coffee with creme and sugar and TODAY I pray and ask God for HELP and NOW living as a NON SMOKER - I changed MY old junk food mindset to a NEW MINDSET and to listen to MY body and eat when I am hungry and STOP when MY body says it is FULL - I have been walking with Leslie Sansone since 2010 - I exercise every day and I discipline MYSELF by eating more veggies and sticking with natural low sugar fruits in the berry family - in a month I went from a size 18 to a size 16 - thanks for letting ME share - gentle hug 
I love food and this is my best weight loss plan
No seriously. I have always been conscious of my weight. I have an active lifestyle. When I quit smoking I gained 6-7 lbs. Which I have lost and gained and lost. lol.
I have been using WW (Weight Watchers) as a tool for the last 3 years. I have met my goal weight and have been maintaining it for the most part. There are times that I may splurge a little. Just like quitting it is a change in your lifestyle with better eating and exercise. They go hand in hand. Even that is not perfect so I try to just watch my waistline so that I do not have to buy a completely new wardrobe. TW517 Unless you are having medical issues you should not be too concerned about the weight gain or loss. In recent months we have been informed by members that they developed thyroid conditions after quitting. I am not sure who is prone to that.
Thanks for sharing Jackie - it was a request to get a discussion going - so this person could read about all the variety of ways learning NEW ways to cope with issues inside them to think and act in a healthier way offered by whoever and whatever anyone lives day by day as a NON SMOKER LIFE STYLE - and that will offer a better way than emotional eating or the hand to mouth habit to be renewed by a better way than eating when NOT hungry for them to CHOOSE a NEW way for them to keep weight off and STAY NICOTINE FREE thanks for YOUR HELP
