      I promised my mom I would quit when I hit 170 lbs. I'm so excited to be free of those nasty things and you give me hope I can do it!!! I'm only 16 lbs away and I've already lost 10 lbs in under 2 weeks.

      WTG! I think you have the mentality to get it done too! "so excited to be free of those nasty things ". It's all about how bad you want it.

      Congrats, that is so great to hear. I have a close friend that smoked almost a pack a day, and has three kids. I was so happy when she successfully quit, even though she is always under a lot of stress and overworked. Keep up the great work, and treat yourself to a little something with your savings.:wink:
