You've been free of cigarettes for 3 days, 17 hours, 14 minutes & 37 seconds
You have not smoked 74 cigarettes since then, and you have saved a total of $20.64.
I quit the last 2 winters, but as soon as it got nice out, I'd be outside doing yardwork and start smoking again. :-(
The 10 to 20 pounds I gained over the winter just fell off. So this time I am going quit with the help of MFP. If I can just maintain my weight without gaining, I think it will be easier to resist that 1st cigarette.
You don't necessarily gain weight after quitting. I quit almost 3 weeks ago (cold turkey), but had already started changing my eating habits and life style weeks before that. I haven't put on a single pound, I'm still losing between 1 and 2 pound/week. Whenever I feel hungry I know this little nico-devil wants me to smoke or eat. I don't do what he tells me any more ;P I just eat bell peppers or oranges... and the hunger/craving go away. Of course I log every single calorie I eat. Is the craving too strong, I do some exercise ( then I can eat even more)
Good luck, you can do it.0 -

Had a friend smoking around me all last night, and I was repulsed. Made my eyes water and I felt like I was allergic. And it was stinky.0 -

i quit for 6 weeks over the summer and lost 9 lbs at the same time by paying attention to what i was eating. i started smoking again for a little while but am back on the wagon now, here are my updated stats
46 days, 18 hours, 2 minutes and 43 seconds smoke free.
468 cigarettes not smoked.
$129.25 saved.0 -
I'm on day 99.
I will tell you, part of what helped me was I got one of those brita water bottles (the one that has the filter inside). I never leave home without it. I started carrying it around week 6, but after I got off the patches, I think it has helped give me something to hold and bring up to my mouth. At the same time, it is a healthier habit to have. Even at home, when I start to get a little antsy I will go get a cup of water and drink it. Also, I didn't start losing weight until I quit. I originally got on here so I wouldn't GAIN weight, but then I had all this energy so I started exercising. 3 months later I've lost 25 lbs. However, I won't lie, the thing that has made me quit for good was my dad dying from lung cancer. After watching that, I"m pissed my siblings still smoke.0 -

I still find it hard everyday not to smoke
it isnt "hard" everyday for me, but it is hard some days and on my mind almost every day but i think slowly (very slowly) it is getting better and the thoughts are getting further apart.
My stats
54 days, 19 hours, 33 minutes smoke free. 548 cigarettes not smoked. $151.25 saved.
which is by far the longest my body has been without nicotine since some time in 1987.
At the end of my long runs on the weekend i still have a couple of deep uncomfortable chest coughs when i stop after sprinting the finish. this seems to me to be smoking related since i dont have a cold/cough the rest of the day. wont be upset if those go away soon.0 -

suddenly occured to me while walking out of the gym this morning (that was the time of my favorite cigarette of the day) that i shouldnt talk in weeks anymore but months since i last had a puff of nicotine in me since i am now at 60 days. It both feels like yesterday and a lifetime ago that i was a smoker. i still want one but i think about it less than i used to. last week i considered buying some for the first time in a couple weeks0 -

Stay strong!! 2 months is awesome! I can relate to the "favorite time" being after the gym. Today was my first day driving home from boot camp without having one. Bittersweet But you are absolutely rocking it! 0 -

I quit cold turkey Thanksgiving night. I knew I needed to, but I kept making excuses..work, bills, stress, I was losing weight, etc. But I decided I wouldn't buy anymore and haven't looked back! I don't miss the nicotine, that was never it for me. It was my escape, 5 minutes to myself when I didn't have to worry about anything. My appetite is out of control though, I can't seem to get a grip on it. Otherwise I'm going strong! Congratulations all you quitters!0 -

I have been quit for 10 Months, 1 week, 5 days, 2 minutes............a saving of 1958.88 plus more I would think. Still challenging but a far cry from the beginning. Anyone can do it, just say NOPE.....not one puff ever!!
I quit using Champix..used it for 6 weeks and knew that I didn't need it anymore. Read, read, read and soon you have reprogrammed your brain to realize all the damage that is being done or has been done.
I gave myself permission to gain some weight...I was serious about this quit! Now, it is the time to lose the weight and it is slowly coming off.0 -
