Hi all I'm new to this and I hoping to shift some weight. I gained a lot of weight when I gave up smoking. Finding it very hard to find any motivation as I always seem to feel tired. So you lovely ladies and gentlemen please send me some get up and go thank you

    Welcome, Debbz. Stay with it... we're all in this together.

    What works for me is healthy substitution. Instead of crunchy chips, I have crunchy carrots or an apple. Instead of ice cream, Greek yogurt tastes wonderful. Since food was a substitute for smoking for you, perhaps decide on another substitute for food (like walking instead of having a snack) or eating a healthy snack in place of popcorn. It took me a few weeks of back & forth before I could do that & not still dream of chips, but boosting my exercise is what kicked it over the edge & it's been far easier than I'd thought. I guess the same endorphin rush I had from carbs is now substituted by exercise.

    Hope that helps. Let us know how you're doing along the way.
