Tom,

Congratulations. The worst is over. I have been reading most of your posts for the last month and you have been an absolute inspiration for me. I am on a quest to get down to around the 200 lb mark after being at 250 ish for the last 10 years.

I had my last cigarette on September 20, 2007. After smoking a pack a day for about 18 years I know how hard it is. I wish I had some secret trick to pass on but unfortunately I don't. After reading what you have already accomplished I know you can do this.

Stick with it and good luck.

Joe
