Anyone can! I have been back and forth on MFP for YEARS! I'm here then I'm not. I'm down then back up. I made the decision in Nov. to quit smoking and with the exception of one slip up 2 weeks ago I've done excellent! Then Dec. 27 I got back on here and never looked back. Since then I entered ONEderland last week and I measured my waist and hips and am down 2 in. in my waist and 2.5 in my hips! I'm also back into my large shirts. I can see my feet again!
I am over people saying that they can't lose weight and quit smoking at the same time. I also don't buy the "I can't quit smoking because I have x, y, or z stress." In this time since I quit smoking and got back on program, my husband has lost his job (he's our only source of income) and I made it through finals at school in an accelerated physical therapy assistant program. Don't tell me that it can't be done! It's all about how bad you want it!

As an ex smoker I have observed that when I was a smoker but for whatever reason couldn't have one (like at the airport or something) then the cravings were way, way worse than after I quit and then wanted one randomly (but obviously couldn't have one because I'd quit) - not sure if that makes sense.
Congrats on your progress - don't it feel great!!!0 -
Makes total sense. When you have them in your pocket and you're being told you can't have them it's terrible. lol
And yes! I feel awesome!0
