You have permission to kick my @SS if I confess of falling off and keep me going. I have been walking 2 miles most days, but with fall around the corner, I'm concerned I'll back off when the rain sets in (North West).
I am on Weight Watchers and started before I quit so I would have a few pounds off, it worked I lost 25 pounds before I quit and have gained 10 back, so I was at 325 and a smoker, yep death around the corner.
If anyone wants some pointers on smoking, I'll help if I can, all I can say is after 35 years of smoking, I now free and clear!
I hope I can offer support to others in need and hope to learn some new stuff on here.
Thanks for having me...

Great start dropping the cigs, that was one of the best things you could have done for yourself.
NW, must be Washington? It rains a ton up there in the winter/fall. I don't know how you deal with it. Any chance of getting exercise equipment in your house or getting a gym membership? If you're looking to commit to exercise you can't let a little rain get in your way.
The hardest part about quitting and weight loss is overcoming the appetite suppressant effect smoking has, which could be why you put on a few pounds after quitting.
Keep up the walking for sure, and upping the pace/lengthening the walk as you become comfortable.
As far as eating goes, have you figured out a plan of attack?
