    "It's never too late" is the phrase I put in my profile when I registered here. It has proven true for me.

    Congratulations!!!

    I quit almost 2 years ago. It is a long hard road for some easier for others. For me, I gained about 60 lbs before I started taking the next steps to lose weight. Once I realized that I could breath easier and both normal and work out activities were easier, I was hooked. The more I worked out and kept myself busy, the easier it was to just forget about the nicotine.

    Good for you on taking the first steps in improving your health. Keep at it, take on day at a time and you can do this.

    Congratulations on quitting smoking!

    I quit 4 1/2 years ago and gained 35 lbs. I have started the weigh loss journey now and was able to do it because I faced it exactly like I did quitting smoking. I didn't want to start smoking again because then I'd have to go through quitting again. I don't want to start gaining the weight back because I don't want to go through losing it again. You have fabulous so far! You should be proud of yourself.

    Congrats on kicking the smoking habit! I know how hard that is. I quit in 1999, almost 12 years ago now. And I was a HEAVY smoker, over 2 packs a day on the weekends. =o After I quit, I gained over 25 pounds within the first 2 years. Luckily, I have been able to take off that weight and more over the past few years. And I never, EVER have any desire to smoke.

    My hubby also quit in 1999 but started again when his job took him out of the country. He's been through the process a few times now, but I think the current round is going to stick. LOL He has also joined me in my quest for a healthier body and life. At this time, he's down almost 50 pounds! I am so proud of him.

    So two success stories for you. It may not be easy, and it may take some time to get there. But you can do it!! Best of luck to you. :)
