My cycling has degraded. I've gained 15lbs. If I don't stop eating I'm going to need to trade the bicycle in for a tricycle. (With a side car for the twinkies.)
I say to hell with worrying about the weight for a while. Once you get the smoking under control, you can deal with the weight. If you have the self discipline to quit smoking, the weight will be a piece of cake but one step at a time. That philosophy worked for me anyway.
