Hello everyone! First I have to tell you how excited I am to find this place. I signed up two days ago and had time to read a little through the messages here….so many wonderful nice and helpful people!!!

I quit smoking almost three month ago and gained a lot of weight. It was totally my fault, I don’t want encourage others from quitting. I substituted food for cigarettes….very bad idea. So now I have to lose that weight again and I also want to stick with a good exercise program to stay healthy and keep the weight down. I have the feeling I found it here.

A little more about me; I am a 42 year old Mother of two and live in Missouri close to Kansas City . Recently I am back to school to earn a bachelor in Biology.

Patricia welcome. You sound like youre on the right track. Wow college YOU GO GIRL. Thats awesome about the cigs. I love food for happy, sad, mad, glad and bdays :) but I sure love the way it feels to workout and know that whats going on in my chemistry is changing my outlook mentally and physically for the better. Keep up the great attitude and you'll find a wonder of help in the forums.
