    Me but hopefully stopping in the next couple of days thanks to Zyban. Been on them once before and it is a miracle drug which stopped me smoking for 3 years (took my soon-to-be ex wife cheating on me to start again :angry: )

    All in all looking forward to quitting. Last time I quit a piled on the pounds which is why this time I wanted to be in a complete lifestyle change plus burning off 3k a calories a week so I won't put it back on.

    Yep,

    I'm a smoker and for the first couple of weeks walking and cycling were a killer.

    I'm guessing a combination of the weight loss and just getting out there and doing it is making it easier. I have a regular route of 4 miles that I do every Saturday and Sunday and my time has come down from 70 minutes to 42 minutes.

    If you have an iPhone download iMapMyWalk it's a great little app.

    I'm a smoker too! I can't smoke at work so I only smoke about 3 paks a week but that's still too much. My husband and I have quit several times but he always starts back and then I do too. I wish he would try the zyban. I think I could stay quit if he could.

    I walk 6 miles every weekend morning and the last two miles I light up a cigar. Never had a cigarette though.

    I used to smoke and when I went for a walk I was so out of breath!!

    I managed to quit cold turkey. It was really weird I didn't plan to quit it just happened! That was 6 months ago, I did cheat a little last week and I feel the after affects and I feel horrible!
