    I smoked for about ten years on and off between having children, but completely stopped after the last one....Over five years now!

    Approaching the six year mark myself after 33 year habit :bigsmile: Congratulate you on starting an exercise program immediately, my downfall I didn't gain weight the first 8 months quit, then the pounds started packing on and I wasn't pro-active about handling the issue until 8 months ago. Good Luck and hang in there, it gets easier.

    Congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment!

    I finished a pack on Sunday, and when I was about to go out and buy a new one, I thought "what happens if i just DON'T. BUY. ANOTHER. PACK." And so I haven't. I hope I can stick with it... I've been a casual smoker (around 1-2 packs a week) for 8 years now, and while I'm not a very heavy smoker I really would like to quit. I just enjoy it so very much. :(

    Any words of advice?

    Well done sir! It is so liberating to know that your life isn't controlled by those things anymore. Good luck with the future!

    Congrats! I quit Jan 26,2012 after I almost lost my leg to a blood clot.I smoked for 46 years. Keep up the great job and you can lose if you log your food every day and stay within the guidelines and exercise. Good Luck!

    Wow! That's great!!!

    July 1st was 9 months for me!

    I will never be a smoker again, it feels so awesome to run and swim or go up a flight of stairs without feeling like I am dying afterward.

    When I quit I found keeping my hands occupied helped tons. The habit of hand to mouth was the killer for me . So thats why I said gym over food. You could also use the Nicorette lozenge I know several folks that were able to quit cigarettes within a week or 2 and they come in cool favors.
