Literally just joined having heard great things about this site and app, newly single and ready for big changes ahead now.

So pleased this forum is on here for the extra moral boost, im not the best with will power, just debating if its too much to try stop smoking as well as diet and exercise??

Gym joined couple months ago, only been handful of times, multiple attempts to stop smoking last year too - am i expecting too much hahaha ;-s

    I want to say.....WELCOME!!!!

    Glad you decided to take the first step. Although I'm not new to the site, I'm a returning user. I can say from past experience that this site is AWESOME!! All that moral support is what helped me lose those 31lbs and I'm a little competitive so when I saw my friends losing the weight I didn't want to be left behind.
    As far as you tackling too many things....What has helped me is taking one monster at a time. If I don't, I end up feeling overwhelmed. So my advise is once you have a good exercise routine and you start seeing those pounds just shed off.....that alone will give you confidence to try to quit smoking.......just don't push it, that way you don't end up failing. I know you can do it girly!!
    Best of luck and just know I'm here for all your moral support!

    It can be a lot to change all at once. But it's hard to gym it up when one's lungs inhibit the ability to give it everything you've got.
    I joined the site only a couple of days ago and have enjoyed reading posts of other newbies as well as the people that have had real and measurable success.

    Do you need accountability?

    What are your goals? I tend to lean toward goals that are based in the process instead of the result (like, for example, my goal is to run 3-4 times per week instead of a goal to lose a certain number of pounds)
