    I made one month of being smoke free today and I am feeling very good! @Guisma, I havnt gained any weight since quitting, I exercise as regularyly as possible and try to stay focused on eating right. @neacail I'm still waiting on my hubby to quit smoking but I know he is watching me daily with my quit and he will soon join me. He makes little comments about quitting so I know something is being triggered in him to give up the habit.

    I didn't gain a pound. I lost 30 pounds, maintained that loss for 4 months, then quit smoking. As long as you keep honestly logging your food, you won't gain weight. If you start substituting food for cigs, you'll run into trouble!

    Hi Everyone! Great job on sticking with your quits!!

    I am on day 84...so coming up to 3 months. I feel that I've only recently gotten back to my old self. I quit cold turkey and felt like I would never be "normal" again! LOL I am quite happy to report that yes, you do get your personality back!! :) My family is pretty happy about that.....

    Keep at it! It really can be a long haul to get over the worst of it, but it DOES pass! I still think about it, but NEVER let myself yearn for it. I remind myself that I am grateful to be free of that crutch! I rarely have cravings and when I do, they pass quickly!

    Unfortunately, I am one of the many who gained weight, but it was totally my fault and it was only 10 lbs. I ate sugar for breakfast, lunch and dinner....plus 6-7 snacks per day! LOL I figure that I was substituting that nicotine rush for a sugar rush. I knew what I was doing, but didn't care. Ah well.....I'm trying to not let a few lbs be a big deal. I am back at the routine full tilt so am going to get this 10 off before summer!!

    Keep rocking it everyone!!
