Hey new thread since our old stopping smoking and not gaining-too--much weight has been lost from chat! BOO!!!
I am not a good role model however as I HAVE piled on a stone, well 12 lbs now, since giving up the cigs.
This must be rectified!
Hence joining in the club section!
Donnadoon hope you find this thread.
Everyone else pile in, join and be happy or miserable bastard ex smokers

welove, it is totally worth stopping. I feel so much healthier. I used to start coughing up phlegm as soon as I lay down. Gross, tmi. 
Donna, I've managed to stop a couple of times. Both times I relapsed at about a year in. It was alchohol related on both occasions. I got pissed and thought I just one couldn't hurt. I quit with Champix, but I didn't get on with it and I stopped it 4 weeks. I'm still on the nicotine gum. I'll tackle that when I'm ready. It's better than smoking though. My health was really suffering, what with so many chest infections, colds and other illnesses.

Hiya, how's everyone.
I'm the same Betty have stopped before for a couple of months then started back on them. This time needs to be different as I was getting to the stage that I would lie at night worrying about getting lung cancer and who would do the mum things for my kids. Grim.
On a lighter note I am currently "enjoying" the company of my eldest daughters friends following last nights nonsleepover! They are like soooo sophisticated they coooouldnt be letting the four or two year old join in.( the two yr old I can understand!)
Welove hope your mr made you a lovely three courser to make it up to you!
Donna how are you mrs? Are the kids back on form? Hope so and that you have a good weekend planned.
You still jumping off wardrobes into those size 10s...I've hung mine up...there's always May

Maybe it's an age thing...I know we are all young happening things on this thread...but just not as young as we were 10 years ago?
I've been running around a park all afternoon surely I deserve a small scone???
Maybe not, off to investigate the harcomb diet...friends recommended it when I moaned of piemanship!
Betty I yearn for days gone by of junk fests, I might get back on the shred this week.
Donna I hope your pooch is ready for the hill you wil be pounding together.
Our muttley has lost a bit with the walking...sadly only him not me!
Wish we could just have a pill and bypass the whole food shebang, it's a quandary!

Hiya.
Agree with donna life without cigs is better, less smelly and less expensive!
Smoke away today and get going tomorrow...if we can do it so can you!
Good luck with your last day of smoking, you'll do fine.
Donna how's the hound and the hill...hope that poor dog still has legs on!
I started back with the shred yesterday and will do it the days I'm not at classes...however it's clear I need to eat less to shift the muffin top. Feel like I'm not eating that much just now
Mmm....muffins...
Catch up later

Hi donna!
You sound chirpy!
I must be behind you next to the cold dark winter, it's bloody freezing and blowing a near gale here today.
Wellies and winter coat style for rest of this week.
So jealous of anywhere with some sunshine.
On a brighter note I've managed not to feed the bear today 
Enjoy the hill with your pooch tomorrow.
Welove goodluck tomorrow you can do it
Rararah cheerleader style!
Keep busy, keep sane, just don't smoke for tomorrow...let Wednesday take care of itself.
