How Do I Get Started?

I have tried every popular diet. I have failed to lose more than 5 pounds in recent years. Now my weight has crept up due to trying to stop smoking (which I started in a desperate attempt to lose - or not gain anymore, weight!). I feel so hopeless about it, even though I was once extremely successful on WW but that was almost 15 years ago. I need to do something as my family's medical history is very bad due to strokes and breast cancer.

How do I get started on this? I'm afraid to buy yet another book to add to my sagging bookcase! I recently attempted The Zone and even had a bout with raw foods for awhile. I found these too complicated and/or extreme. Where does this diet fit in?

Can someone give me some realistic advice? Thank you.

I have compiled most of the vital info in a word doc. Would you like me to send it to you?
