Hi,

Ima mum of 4 from Perth Western Australia.
I've struggled with my weight for many years and as my quit smoking day is just around the corner, I worried about staking on more Kg's.
So let the new healthy me begin :)

    Great job on taking the first step to a better you! MFP is helpful with support. You can do it just stay focused and dedicated.

    I quit smoking a year and a half ago, and going to the gym helped with that. I smoked for 12 years, so the lung damage was noticeable when I started cardio. Just set realistic goals and challenge yourself a little more each week. This will keep off the weight usually gained with quitting the cancer sticks. Good luck!

    it's been almost 5 years since I quit smoking and I'm still trying to get that weight off. When I quit, I was 204 and already needed to lose weight. Since then, I bounced around from a low of 201 to a high of 230. It's been a bit of a struggle. So I wish you the best of luck and feel free to friend me if you need to talk to someone. I'm not saying that I'll be helpful, but I'm a good listener at least.
