    Yeah I figure things need to change because pretty soon parts are going to start falling off if you know what i mean.

    I have almond milk and cereal 6 breakfasts a week(preferably unsweetened almond milk). The other breakfast, every Sunday, I rotate between frozen waffles and eggs. Sugar-free syrup.

    SharptoothC I bite..........

    Almond milk pleasantly surprised me as well, especially since I have never once seen a nipple on an almond.

    I am still trying to find a low sugar cereal as well.

    I'm actually gravitating back to the "low in sugar" brands muhself, though I'm still open to others except Raisin Bran-highest in sugar that I know of(besides its benefits). Certainly your two are good choices. Look into Grain Berry brands(you can find clones of Bran Flakes and Cheerios, which are the two I like). Wheat Chex, too.

    Keep it up, I think activity trumps food but that's just me. Get active, however that works for you. Diets come and go but the the one constant is exercise and activity.

    So who here has experience with the whole "quit smoking thing" that's my big problem here.

    I've read that 5-8 grams of sugar or less is safe...but I don't eat any cereal over 5.

    I could TRY to get used to Shreded Wheat....I bought a small box recently and finished it, but it was too bland for me. I guess that's where the "add fruit" comes in.

    I'm going to bed now but before I do I'll put a couple of questions out there. Why does our government subsidize tobacco production? Second why haven't we as a society banned tobacco completely? Chew on that and I'll check in tomorrow .

    I smoked for 27 years, and quit 10 years ago.

    I used the lozenges, and they helped a lot. I followed the plan in the package - 6 weeks of one every hour, then six weeks of gradually increasing the time between. The idea is that the war is on two fronts: addiction, and habit. Do not underestimate the power of just the habit. By not reducing the nicotine for the first 6 weeks, I was able to work on breaking the habits, without fighting the addiction.

    I also took a vacation for the first week. Road trip to Texas. Saw the Alamo. That was immensely helpful I think. It got me completely away from all of my normal routines and triggers that I associated with smoking. It also helped establish the sense of a clean break. I highly recommend it.

    As much as I think it is unwise to smoke, I'm not a fan of forcing bans on people. I'm not a fan of government subsidies either.

    I'm 54, 6'2" , and around 270-275 lbs., not overweight, at all. I work out in a gym, about 5-6 days a week, for approx 1-1 1/2 hrs at a time. Each workout starts with a vigorous 30 minute cardio workout, followed by weights. I dont use nearly as heavy of weights as I use to(shoulder surgery). I drag myself there, even if i dont feel like it, maybe skipping 1-2 days, if i feel really off. I've kept this up, regularly, since 2003. Before that, youth, and sporadic hard workouts kept me somewhat fit. I dont drink alcohol but for possibly 1-2, every couple of weeks, or whenever i feel like it, with a meal. I smoke maybe 3-4 cigars a year. I use to smoke 2 a day, but slowed, due to allergies. I still love cigars. Due to age, I have had sporadic foot and joint issues, but fought my way through them, through modified exerckse, or self administered Physical Therapy. The latest bought was with Plantar Fasciitis. This was so bad, that i could barely walk at large parts of the day, for a couple of months. I discovered a new exercise, and this almost cured me, in a little over a week.
    My family history is, pretty much everyone has high blood pressure by 45-50 yrs. My routine has mine at the low end, ~117/68 with resting pulse around 55-58. So, my PITA routine has, so far, fought off the aging problems, that most my age suffer. Oh, I also eat whatever I want, good or bad. I see guys in the gym, working out, that are in their late 80's to early 90's, daily. They get it.
    So, develop a vigorous exercise routine, and keep with it. No excuses!!!!!
