I too have done Smart for Life.  I started the program 1 year ago today. I lost 60 lbs. The best part is I have been able to keep it off.  If I find myself getting off track...I just make  a appointment to go weigh In.  If I need to I can get a few packs of cookies to keep in the freezer.  The counselors there are so motivating.  I remind myself of the changes in my life that I have made.  I continue to use the occasional cookie. I actually like them.  There great as a snack or if I am to busy to have lunch.  The one thing that is really important is that I never go more than 3 hours with out having something to eat.  I have family and friends who also have been successful on this program.
