Coming up to 7 weeks and still not smoking. Just started using a great free app called MyFitnessPal, (recommended by a fab lady) last week, together with a veryfitpro wristband which tracks activity, sleep etc, lost 3lbs already! How are you doing you all doing with any changes you've made?  |

I always think giving up smoking you not only have the physical addition to break but also the ritual habit. I haven't smoked over 15years but still remember wanting to light up after food, sex, waiting for a bus etc.
You got over the 1st week, well done. I bet you seeing the changes now with your skin and hair |

Nice one. Just over 6 months without a cig for me. Tried numerous times over the years but invested in a good ecig and it worked straight away. Save about £200 a month too. |

Damn typos! Try again....
Well done on quitting & getting more active xx
I want to quit too.
I had an appointment at the smoking clinic last week but had to cancel as got called into work.
I've rescheduled for next week
I've set goals this year, after a few health issues (& Christmas) I've put on a bit of padding, so working on loosing that, 9lbs so far.
Also aim to increase my strength & muscle mass.
Cutting down on the caffeine I'm a total coffee junkie.
At least 16 mugs a day. I'm down to 10 a day this week... I've had serious twitches & even got called moody yesterday by my son!
And alcohol, I work part time in a bar, getting drinks bought me all the time, it's very easy after a shift to end up sitting down & having 3 or 4 drinks after a shift.
Stopping the booze, taking the tip instead of a pint.
Putting the money into a Christmas savings club the manager runs. |

Well done OP, giving up smoking is one of the hardest things you can do so try and stick with it as the benefits are so worth it..
I gave up by sheer willpower 10 yrs ago and it was definitely worth it..
I usually do dry january to kick start my healthy regime but i haven't bothered this year, although i have cut down drastically
I have started on a 'lose a stone in 3 weeks' challenge (on Monday) by only having 800 calories a day and so far have lost 5lb |

Wow! Great posts, I guess I really had to be in the right frame of mind to make the choices I have at the right times. I agree with the ritual part of smoking it's not the nicotene so much, but the time where I would smoke, eg with a glass of wine, after a meal etc. I have found that I'm hardly drinking any alcohol now as a result as well. |
