No cigarettes since last Saturday! I'm also taking a break from alcohol until I get this no smoking/diet thing under control.

Now, it's time to get this diet under control. I've been having crazy sugar and fat cravings since quitting. Serious junk food problems over here. Also, today I felt nauseated and just plain exhausted. Is this related to quitting?

Exercise has been awesome since quitting! Came back into town last Monday. Exercised Tuesday-Sunday... three 30 minute walk/runs, one 10 minute weight lifting session, some swimming, a Mixxed Fit class and a Barre 3 class. Took yesterday off and went for a walk/run today. 2000 calories burned last week. I've just maintained weight and body fat. No loss and no gain.... Was expecting more with all the exercise and the giving up alcohol for now thing.

Ultimate goals to be 20% BF....Whatever weight coordinates with this... I have it set to the lower end for now.

No cigarettes... never ever again. I'm tired of hiding the fact that I smoke a pack three-four days a week from my little sister. I hate that my clothes smell so disgusting and I'm starting to look older... I'm over it

I'm not in college anymore. I just can't maintain the alcohol, cigarette and taco bell existence anymore. I want to be healthy, fit and beautiful.... Plus, I'm ready to get my PCOS under control and start a family with my patient husband. He's seven years older and past ready for a family. It'll be a journey, but I'm past ready for it.

    Way to go! It is so, so hard. I quit smoking once for six months and physically I felt phenomenal. Unfortunately I caved one weekend and never recommitted myself. It's annoying, I too hide the habit from a lot of people in my life that I am close to. I hate doing something that I am ashamed of - maybe you'll inspire me. Good luck!

    Woah six months and one cave? In the back of my mind, I thought maybe I could sneak a couple in a couple of months. This changed my mind.

    You can quit again! All you have to do is commit yourself. I know you can do it.

    When you quit... What type of withdrawls did you encounter?
