I know it stinks, and it's expensive and supposedly it's disgusting (chew is way worse in my book).
I do work out regularly and I did find a few easy tips to weight loss, as I did manage to drop 15lbs in two weeks. Just count calories in general. It was actually really depressing at first. I found I was taking in over 3500 calories a day. Between soda and snacks, it was out of hand. I brought my self down to 1800 and stayed with my exercise program and the weight dropped off. I do need to shed a few more as the Army says I'm almost fat, which is my fault as last year I tried to put on 10lbs of muscle and now they say I'm overweight.

That is awesome! Seriously, I wish more people were considerate of those around them. My brother and his wife used to smoke (they're in the process of quitting) and they were always really considerate as well. Very cool.
I agree that chew is pretty disgusting. My first major beat-down in high school was because some urban "cowboy" (never seen a horse, but dressed like a cowboy and magically developed an accent) spit chew on my foot. After I bloodied him up, I rubbed his bloody face in the chew-spit. I loved high school.
I can't even imagine dropping 15 lbs in two weeks. I think it would kill me. I'm going to try counting calories to see where I'm at. I've never really paid much attention, but I'm sure I consume too many. A lot of my weight is actually muscle, but it's hiding behind the fat.
