HELP! I started on MFP to lose the extra lbs that had crept on over the years without me noticing ( sneaky little critters those lbs!)
Over the last 6 months or so that I have been on I here I have tried to be as honest as possible with my logging ( my diary is open which helps with the honesty but isn't always pretty to read!). I am quite proud to say that I have lost 19lb & am now almost at goal. The problem is I also wanted to lose the weight as I intended to try to give up smoking too ( the smokers amongst you will recognise the "intention" bit no doubt ha!)
As everyone always tells me you gain weight when you stop smoking, I wanted to try to lose the extra lbs so at least if I quit & gained, I would at worst (hopefully) be back to where I started & know "if I lost it once I can do it again"
I am now on day 5 of "cold turkey" and just wondered if anyone had any tips/advice to help as I am starting to struggle a bit now.
PS. All advice that includes nibbling on carrot sticks or such like instead of having a cig, - thanks, but you obv have never smoked & it really doesn't help / work!!!!!!!!!! (well not for me at least) :laugh:
