I've had a MFP account for awhile now and have been working on getting healthier and hopefully losing some weight in the process by eating healthier and getting more excercise. On 1/1/12 I quit smoking, so my focus right now is to stay quit and not gain weight. If there is any body else in the same boat that would like to give support and be supported please friend me.

    I quit smoking over a year ago. The best thing that worked for me is when I felt the urge I did something active. If I was at work & I had an urge, I'd take my smoke break, but walk the parking lot or around the building until it passed. If I was home, I'd do some type of exercise like jumping jacks, Wii Fit, etc to take my mind off my craving & focus the energy someplace else. I got to quit smoking & start getting healthier at the same time. I didn't want to replace the craving with food (I've heard some people suck lolipops or chew gum). I already have a problem with food & didn't need another one :) Best of luck to you!
