:tongue: I've decided to take that step and quit smoking. I've heard that you gain weight when you quit (which is why I've put it off). Is anyone trying to quit smoking and loose weight at the same time? I been trying for 3 days now the first day I did pretty good. I only smoked a half of one, the next day I totally blew it in the evening and yesterday.....NONE!!! Woot.

But.,....I did tend to eat alot more in the process of not smoking, I bought a whole bunch of gum to help the urge.

If anyone is in the same boat as me, or if your just someone that's wants to give support.....any and all is welcomed! :tongue:

    Kudos to you lady! I too am a smoker - but I don't have the guts to do the weightloss thing at the same time as quitting... I'm leaving quitting for my next stepping stone once I've reached my goal weight =/ Don't have the strength of will to do both at once - though I realise it is the sensible and MUCH healthier way to go. Good luck to you, and I'm very interested to see your progress!!
