JUNE STARTERS

dlhenry511

Welcome! I notice you quit smoking too. May I ask how you did it?

Me? I quit using the nicotine patch. I'm actually using the generic brand because I had bad skin reactions to the NicoDerm CQ brand (and it made my arm feel REALLY weird). Only two weeks left and I'm off the patch. woo hoo! :bigsmile:

Good for you! I have been an on and off smoker for a long time. I just cant seem to kick it all together.

I was an on/off smoker for 6 years (10-16) and then I smoked regularly a pack a day for 8 (16-24). The patch really does help!! Once you decide to do it, you'll find its a lot easier with the aids than you think. You can do it! :flowerforyou:

My name is Jessica and I just started about two weeks ago. I don't have much weight to lose, but I'd really like to get back in shape (I'm so un-fit!!) and tone up.

Start weight: 120
Current weight : 117
Goal weight: 110

By the way, if you're looking at the picture I have posted and think "There's no way she needs to lose weight!", it was taken about five or six years ago when I was probably 107 pounds. :blushing:
