Hmm I plan to join a gym this summer and hopefully lose a little weight while trying to keep my uric acid levels down

She dresses as butterfly. Wings and antennas have been already purchased. Dress will be improvised. She also got a box of colors for the face. Carnival. Big event here.

Eh.

That sounds really cute

of course you can. She will be 4 in a couple of weeks.
I will tell her of you and of how intelligent you are and how hard you work in your studies, that in the morning you accompany a boy to school, so that you can buy Bailey and ...

Thank you on both counts. On your last comment I agree with you 100%. And also some time, when they grow up, they are even more so

I have now lost a little over 20kg (about 45lbs). I still have 2.5kg/5.5lbs to go, but I'm pretty happy with how it's going (and I'll revisit my goal when I reach it, perhaps pushing it further down). It's nice to feel clothes hang loosely off me (I need to replace my wardrobe completely). It's nice to no longer have a porch-over-the-playground. It's nice to weigh less than most (if not all) of my family, rather than more than all of my family as I have for many years. It's nice to look forward to riding the bike. It's nice to look forward to the fresh and interesting foods we're eating. It's nice to have a little bit of control back on at least the dietary part of my psyche, if nothing else (it gives me hope that I might even be able to claw some of the rest of that back).

So, I'm pretty happy with my progress and "diet".

Cheers,
Marc

I need to get my act together.

That's great, Marc. Congratulations! Now let's talk about your taste in hats and makeup, shall we? Perhaps it's time for a makeover, eh?

Have any of you quit smoking and gained weight? I quit almost a year ago and actually dropped 4kg or so, oh don't be happy, I have put it all back on and then some. The last 6 months have been hell, I think I put on 8 or 9 kg. I have never had an issue with weight, I was pleasantly in the upper range of my "Suggested" weight for 30 years. I've always been more active than I have been here, it is too damn hot to exercise outside and I prefer to walk than go to the gym. I go to the largest mall here and do laps a couple times a week and I try to swim at least once a week, I'd swim more but the pool isn't always available. I'm sure this is an age thing :P

So my real question is, what's the safest way to drop the calories and should I reconsider the gym?

I have never quit smoking, but I sure have gained weight

Just cut down on the calories: lots of vegetables, no unhealthy snacks, 5 light meals a day instead of 3 heavy meals. Exercising is always a good choice, whether you want to lose some pounds or not. But it'll certainly help you with the diet.

I'll give you the advice I give to everyone who wants to lose weight. Go see a professional. Let him of her 'make' a diet that suits you. I've tried dieting on my own and dieting with a dietitian. The only time I've been succesful losing weight and then maintaining the weight loss is with a dietitian. Just to give you an idea: I did gain some weight recently (lack of exercise and too much chocolate) and went to see the dietitian. I've been following my new diet for about a week and have dropped a little over 0.5 kg.

But I'm sure not everyone here shares my point of view

Whatever you decide to do: good luck!
