Are you exercising? Have you tried a nicotine patch with a step-down
program combined with group therapy?

Sadly enough, the rule of thumb is, "the first fat on when gaining weight,
is the last fat off when losing it". Many people find it difficult to lose
fat around the waist, but for others it's the hips and butt (it just depends
on where your body likes to store it).

BTW - buying one of those "ab machines" you see advertised on TV will do
virtually nothing to reduce the fat around your waist. Even if they do
exercise your ab muscles, you can't "spot reduce" via exercise...only by
reducing your overall level of body fat will you begin to see a change in
your waist.

For health reasons, you might want to focus on quitting smoking first and
not worry about weight loss until you've succeeded. To help beat the
smoking, find some type of aerobic exercise that you enjoy (e.g., walking,
running, cycling, rowing), and pursue it. The good news is that when you
quit smoking and start exercising, you'll find yourself making dramatic
gains in fitness within just a few months. Those gains if fitness and
feelings of strength really helped me to (finally) quit smoking for good.
When I first quit smoking, I would get tired after riding my bike for 4
miles. Within a couple of months I was riding 20+ miles of hills without
getting too tired. That was 10 years ago, and now I ride 3,000+ miles per
year, and weigh about what I did back in college (in the late '70s).

Patricia I have been excercising... it doesn't seem to work. However I
don't keep up with it like I should. But it still should take
something off. Years ago it did.

Thanks Gary.

How old are you? Male or female? Hormone changes tend to move fat collection to the
waist as we near or pass 40, and the old methods we used for speedy loss aren't as
effective anymore. Also, stop freaking out about it -- cortisol (stress hormone) also
contributes to holding on waist and stomach weight. You say you don't keep up with
exercise like you should -- well there's a good start right there. My personal mantra
(I made up) is Committed, Consistent, Patient, and Persistent. How many of these
adjectives fit you?
