Introductions

Welcome to the smoking section! This group is about anything anyone wants to talk about. It's a place for smokers to unite in weight loss struggles or victories, smoking cessation (or not), happy times, sad times, venting and anything else you'd like to post. Tell us a little (or a lot) about yourself while I go get a cigarette :happy:

  • It's nice to see other smokers out there trying to kick the habit too. Ihave smoked for about 8 years and seriously regret ever starting but hey-ho it is what it is. I decided to go on a health kick and eat better, get fitter which so far is working out well (11 lbs lost on 5 weeks woop woop!) but I am really struggling quitting the *kitten* :( I went and got an ecig but i just don't find it as good. So have decided to focus my energy in one place. Hit my weight target and then try cold turkey with the *kitten*. Has anyone tried anything else other than ecigs to help them quit and guessing that if your on this group it didn't work but how did you find it?
  • Ah Ha! This is were the double sinners hang! Seriously, it is nice to have a little group to be 100% honesty with the smoking thing. I am a smoker, and I have tried to quit so many times it isn't funny. This up coming quit I am gonna try the cold turkey thing. I was hoping if I could improve my eating and exercising I would naturally like to breath better. Sorry to say, shallow as I am, I am ashamed of both and haven't a clue how to cultivate stick -tuitvemess to slay both these dragons. This is day 2 with MFP and I would really like some light hearted encouraging friends if your up for it. - Shawn:smokin:

    Excellent job losing 11 lbs. Have you held 5 lbs in your hands? It is significant. I have done the patch and the gum. Not at the same time. Helpful products but they are not lying when they say you need a support system to have the best success. I believe I need a full time shrink to make a go. Sorry that ugly negativity rearing its head. Keep up the good work!
