[Zero]

good luck Z - you can do it!

(as a person who gained a lot of weight in college and then lost [most] of it - i think the most important thing is just to get into a routine of regular activity/exercise - i really got back into hiking in the mountains, and then started going to a gym for some stair-climbing or treadmill - nothing too strenuous, just starting to get in the habit of physical activity - - - add to this a controlled but realistic diet (including some healthier snacks during those hungry periods) and it can all work).

congrats on quitting smoking - a great step!!
