Really glad to see this "biggest loser" thread--finally was able to wean myself from cigarettes, been a little over a year now. The problem is food tastes much better now, and I was always grazing anyhow so I gained about 30 pounds. I had to get bigger clothes this fall, been having trouble pulling on the socks and tying the shoes due to the large obstacle in the middle.  We went to the grocery store this evening and we are going to attempt to eat a little healthier from now on--no ice cream, cookies and unfortunately no cherry coke. We are going to try and replace some of that junk with fruits and vegetables and lower sodium stuff --I'll update you occasionally--by the way went from 160 lbs. to 192 lbs. Part of the problem is that the work now is not as intensive as it used to be.
