in Introduce Yourself
I'm here because I have finally decided that I am going to treat myself better than I have been. All of the weight that I lost a couple of years ago has come back due to my lack of decent self-care, stress and general laziness.

In addition to my goal of losing 50 pounds, I am also quitting smoking on Thursday, so I am pretty sure that I might lose my mind completely.

I'm tired of going it alone and could use some new friends who are on a similar journey.

    I've never been a smoker but the rest sounds about right.

    You can add me I was a heavy smoker for 25 years. I have quit smoking for 15 months and counting. I'm also trying to loose about 50 lbs. I just turned 40 in November and I'm ready to loose some weight.

    I quit smoking on the 21st of December. I am using Chantix to assist me in doing so. I have been smoke free for 10 days now. I am also looking to lose weight. I added you.

    So you'll be a day ahead of me :) Are you doing anything in particular to prepare for your quit date?

    You can do it! I quit smoking almost 6 years ago! It was the best thing and the HARDEST thing I have ever done! I will support you in any way I can. I would suggest not trying to lose weight and quit at the same time. You might want to focus on one before the other. BUT you can do whatever you put your mind to. I'm here if you need me.
