Hi, my name is Miranda and I am looking to lose about 60 pounds to be at least where I was before I quit smoking a couple of years ago. The weight came on pretty quickly and I wish it would do the same in the opposite direction! I know HOW to lose weight but I always seem to fall off the wagon! Anyways, maybe having some motivation from strangers will push me a little further.

    Hi Miranda
    Well done quitting!!
    At least your lungs will deal better with the exercise side of things ;)
    Ex smoker here and have never looked back, best thing I've done but I do love something sweet after dinner hence why I need to log everything!!

    Fantastic. Quitting smoking is super hard. I had a friend who still smokes, but has tried to quit unsuccessfully several times, so I know what a struggle it is. Friend me and we can keep the support going.

    I know they are finding it is bad for you also, but I used a e-cigg to quit then after about a year I just stopped everything :)
