    Good for you. You will feel so much better with the walking and not smoking. A great choice for yourself. :)

    I quit smoking and made my lifestyle change 34 days ago. I feel amazing, and I haven't replaced my old habit with food I am actually down 11 lbs. Feel free to add me. Good Luck

    I just quit smoking and started walking today.
    I'm 45 and I'm ready to change my life. I need support on this journey I'm about to embark on.

    Awesome!

    I quit smoking 2 months ago (switched to e-cigs for the time being as a step-down), started keeping track of my caloric intake (aiming for about 2200 daily), have been making healthier food choices, and started lifting heavy 3x weekly with some light cardio on off days.

    Net result: 7 pounds lost so far, far more energy, getting a lot stronger around the edges and things are beginning to tighten up. Which is the exact opposite of what I expected to happen. :happy:

    You can do this!!!!!!! (I'm 45 also)

    I quit last June. It's tough, but it's worth it.

    When I first stopped, if someone walked passed me smoking I would have to stop myself following behind them, taking deep breathes, just to get the second hand smoke.......

    Now, the smell of someone that's been smoking is soooooo bad.......

    I wish you all the strength in the world, you can do this!!!!

    Good for you! I quit 4 years ago and never looked back. I gained a few pounds but nothing huge and more than worth it I promise you:smile:

    Congratulations! I quit at the beginning of January. Sadly, I replaced smoking with eating at first and gained 8 lbs in 2 months. Now, I'm working on changing my behavior to something healthy. As it gets warmer outside, maybe walking/running instead when I feel stressed. Good luck to you!

    Well done!

    I got free of the disgusting trap last year and I couldn't be happier! Keep it up!

    P.s. if you ever start to find it difficult pick up a copy if 'Alan Carrs, Easyway to stop smoking' it really dies make it easy and something to relish rather than fear.
