Yay!! Great! That's awesome!

I quit smoking 43 days ago. It felt great!

I feel great. And I've even lost a few lbs! Which is crazy good, considering both are the devil to conquer especially together. Maybe cliche, but if *I can....well, you know the rest!

You can do it!!

Way to go! My friend who doesn't like veggies loves her veggie smoothie. Have a plan for those days when you are weak and/or just tired of having to have so much self control. Like a knock out drug. I'm kidding, of course.

That's AWEsome, nobody! Great plans. I wish you Much, much strength and resolve. :):)


(Incidentally, I didn't recognize you with the new avatar. Is the dog a non-smoker?)

I quit smoking Jan 6th this year and it is very hard for a while... I just had to except it was going to suck and the cravings would be wicked for a while..

It lasted for about 6 weeks for me... Now they come the odd time and the benefits were apparent quickly

I need to jump on the diet wagon as well!!... Really soon...sigh

Great to see you !

Thanks everyone for the support :-) I will keep you all posted...

I keep recruiting newbies for DS in the real world and thought I would show ppl how this place really can help by doing it myself.

My diet officially starts Friday with a mentor and coach, I have my health club membership and I am ready to go. I am already starting to eat better just need to get a good exercise program going.

I am going to try low impact workouts with elevated cardio 20min a day to start. Does anyone have any ideas of a good youtube program or anything that could help ( maybe motivational stuff I could load to my phone during my workouts )

Thanks again everyone!

That's great. It's good to have goals, isn't it? Gives you something to strive for. I also just turned 47 and I just do yoga. I need to do something with cardio. maybe I'll start waliking more often.I just hate to sweat. Good luck and best wishes!!

Good stuff! Great to have a defined plan and goals, short and long term. You are setting up for success! I can't wait to hear how it goes. Do keep us posted. :)

Having the desire will get you there.

I have to lose weight too. Someone here suggested having a plan for when you "Blow" it. I would agree. I just found out I can have shrimp so I get a little cocktail plate an think I am in heaven. Oh! and 70 calorie lime popsicles!!!! (Grahamn crackers when I am really hogging out). :)

Good luck let us know your progress.

I am so excited you have set some new goals. I quit smoking this past Easter, I know, not for long, but I haven't had a cigarette since then...You can do it!!! I was going to the gym, but gave up, hope you have better luck there than I did lol. Maybe walking is a good idea. Wishing you the best!!
