Hi Jessa and welcome to SparkPeople! Take a few days to really check out the site and all of the great resources here. Congratulations on quitting smoking - that is NOT an easy task!!! One thing that I would do (just starting out) is to simply focus on tracking all of your food and beverages in the food tracker. It's amazing how quickly everything adds up and it's a great way to see where we can make changes in our daily eating habits. Once you feel comfortable with the food tracker, try checking out the resource center. There are so many wonderful articles in the Fitness Resource Center that can kick start a new way of thinking!!
Let me know if you have any questions along the way and best of luck with your new journey!
Be well,
Kelly
