yeah!!!!! I have to go mark the calendar, I am so excited.... Thank you.

I totally understand your frustration, I gained 13 pounds. It has been two years since I quit and I am still struggling to try and get the weight off. its like my metabolism has shut down and the weight just does not want to move.

I joined this web site in December 07, and was very faithful sticking to the 1200 calories that the site recommended, and also worked out faithfully. BUT... I had no success, not even one little pound. Well 4 weeks ago I started working with a personal trainer, which I just love. She told me to boost my calories to 1400,…

I know a lot of people who have done the isogenix thing, and are having wonderful results. I have also heard that a cleanse can be wonderful, because of al the crap that we put in our bodies. Good luck with it.. I ordered my first cleanse yesterday... Dawn:flowerforyou:

The patch worked for me. I am smoke free for 18 months today... It is hard, but it does get easier. I was so excited to wake up and find that it wasn't my first thought anymore. Just hang in there, everyday gets better.

I also think its a good challenge. I did 3 months of cardi bootcamp this past summer, and they used every one of those exercises.

Is there anyone else out there who has quit smoking in the last year or so, and who is having a heck of a time loosing weight or inches? I quit smoking 15 months ago...I have been working very hard at trying to loose the weight that I gained, but am having absolutely nooooo luck. I even did cardio core boot camp for three…

Well a year ago I quit smoking ( where did the year go?) , and I have been trying for 9 months to loose the weight that I gained, with no success. I have been on this site, done weight watchers , worked out at curves etc. After a visit with my doctor the other day, she told me that a year is the magic number. She said that…

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia, in the Okanagan Valley. I am still struggling with trying to lose even a pound. I quit smoking 10 months ago, and my body has just not figured out that it can now lose the extra weight. I joined cardio bootcamp just over a week ago. I LOVE it, it is a very intense one hour work out…

I did one hour of cardio boot camp, and the trainer put us through the paces today... feels good though

Happy Canada Day from the very hot Okanagan Valley.... We will probably go check out the fireworks tonight. Have a great day everyone...:flowerforyou: :drinker:

Has anyone tried a cardio bootcamp? Just wondering; as I am starting one next Monday and am quite excited, but don't really know what to expect...

We went two years ago, and the whole family actually lost weight from all the walking. Its sure goes to show how different our bodies all are. Have a great time, it is such a happy place...

I really understand where your coming from. I didn't notice how bad I picked until i was visiting my mom one day and she pointed it out. So Just this past week I am really concentrating on writing everything down, and if I really want a little bit of something I put it in a bowl and measure it. That way I know exactly what…

I absolutely love to garden, but..... I hate cilantro more than I love to garden. So sorry I can't help...:flowerforyou:

Can anyone help me with a metabolism question? In September I quit smoking, I was prepared to gain some weight, which I did. 13 pounds. In December , after maintaining that weight for about a month, I joined this web site. Well it has been five months now, and I have only lost 1 pound. I am watching my intake of food,…

Oh ,,,, the dreaded back fat, arm pit fat, and I absolutely HATE my arms. I did the trying on a summer dress thing for a wedding afew weeks ago and left the change room crying. so I won't be doing that again for a while. I had been really beating myself up about things, but have just decided that I have to take it one day…

Could he come and visit at my house???? :happy: We seem to be having an issue with rats around here lately and they are just soooo gross.....

wow , wow, wow... Good for you!!!!!!:flowerforyou:

I had to chuckle with this one. On wednesday I was working out at the gym and started my workout with 30 minutes on the treadmill. As I was doing my cool down I was sweating up a storm and decided to wipe my face. Apparently I can't do two things at once, because as I was wiping my face I forgot to walk..... caught myself…

Thank you everyone!!!! I know there is a reason that I am sticking to this, it is all the wonderful support from everyone on this website... Thanks Dawn

So today I bought myself a new workout outfit and a new pair of pants. When I got home I decided to clean out the closet. Im not sure if that was a great idea or not. It was very depressing to come across a few pair of size 3 pants. I haven't decided if this should depress me even more , or give me more motivation. I am so…

I will be smoke free for 8 months on Sunday, and I feel soooo much better. I had smoked for 24 years. I put on thirteen pounds when I quit. I was prepared for that to happen, thats why I quit in the fall. I thought I could go through a chubby winter and then just drop the extra pounds in the spring. Well apparently my body…

AGH.... back fat, don't you just hate it. I was just being repulsed this morning by my own. Good for you on your acomplishments thus far.....:drinker: you help give me motivation....

This last month or so has been an emotional and physical rollercoaster ride. As some of you may know my mother in law has been in hospice for the past month. So needless to say the stress levels have been fairly high, as well as not eating properly or exercising regularly. Well last night she lost her battle with cancer.…

I'm going to give you and myself a kick..... I am in the same boat as you, joined this site on December 31, 2007, and to date have only lost one pound. I know how frustrating that is.... But I am not giving up, even though things are very stressfull right now. (My mother in law is in hospice and probably only has a few…
