Hi ladies! I'm in Canton now, but I grew up in Akron. :smile:

I quit April 11, 2011 using Zyban (wellbutrin). I started smoking when I was 15 and I turned 40 last year so I smoked nearly 25 years. And honestly, if I had known how much easier than expected it would be - I would have quit years ago. I'm sure it was a combination of the meds and me being truly ready to quit, but I had…

Thanks for the ideas! I will have to check these out.

Ain't that the truth!!

It is full of awesome.

In keeping with the "fitness" theme....how many calories are in each chill pill?

Sorry - didn't mean to be a bad influence... :tongue:

I so wish I had saved up enough calories today for a bucket of popcorn.....

Looks like I need to check out goodreads!

I have Perfume in English. I need to re-read it - it's been a while. A very different book, but really good. I also agree with those suggesting the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon and the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. I also love Nora Roberts and Harlan Coben (he writes mystery/thriller type books). Now I need to…

^^^ this exactly ^^^

Absolutely! You can definitely see a difference. 15 pounds is awesome - you are doing great! :flowerforyou:

I absolutely LOVE this!

You look awesome!! You should be so proud of yourself! :drinker:

<<< I live in Ohio. (Profile pic is Salt Fork Lake about an hour south of me, but I live in Canton.) Seeing all the pictures is making me seriously want to travel!! How wonderfully multicultural this site is :smile:

Bump - sounds delicious!! Thanks!

You are awesome!! I would never be able to run for 25 minutes...unless maybe a bear or a crazed lunatic was chasing me. Lol. I am so impressed, and that was a great story! :drinker:

Exactly!! It seems weird that I was basically maintaining at about 1400-1500 calories plus exercise, and then I up them to 1700 plus exercise (usually end up at 1700-2000) and I am STILL maintaining! I do weigh myself every day (I'm a smidge OCD. Lol) so I will catch any gains relatively early so it doesn't get out of…

I am stuck in almost exactly the same place! I started at 181.5 in Nov 2011 and got down to my lowest - 167.5 in early March. Since then I have been seesawing back and forth between 168 and 172. So I decided to change things up. In late March I bumped up my calories, and in April I switched from mostly doing cardio to…

I look forward to watching them - THANK YOU!!!

Bump. :)

Bump :)

It's been months for me too. Unfortunately I am a pretty jiggly 167.5! :laugh: So I do mind the 160's. If I can tone up some (a lot) I won't be too worried about the number on the scale though.

My 11 year old son (who is 5'1") weighs about 100, and he is thin. I am pretty sure 100 lbs would only be a healthy weight for someone about 5' tall or less. Please be careful, and take care of yourself. :flowerforyou:

^^ This ^^ Lol at "Pit of Despair". I have been stuck in the 160's forever!! I can't seem to get below 167.5 and fluctuate between that and about 171/172. My goal is 140 since it's right in the middle of the healthy BMI range, and it is what I weighed when I got married. But I may change my mind if I ever get any closer. I…

I thought I had the only marshmallow-loving cat! He once got into a bag of mini marshmallows in the middle of the night. I woke up to about 50 marshmallows (that he had licked) all stuck in my living room carpet! He also eats shredded cheese and will dip his paw in tea or coffee. My dog will eat pretty much anything. But…

I just went to Swensons on Friday for the first time in a really long time. Oh. My. God. Burger perfection!

I know where New Philly is! Not too far from me (Canton). And I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't mention the Browns because I'm a Steelers fan :smile: Along with, of course, being a Buckeye fan.

Me too!! Born in Columbus, grew up in Akron, currently living in Canton.

40 here! Anyone can add me :smile:
