way to go, Josh!! (and the rest of you!) Congratulations on not smelling like a dirty ashtray anymore! :drinker: I use to look at this website daily when I first quit, to remind me of the benefits and help keep me on track. Hope you find it useful! http://whyquit.com/whyquit/a_benefits_time_table.html This Saturday will be…

Top o' the list......my house, an SUV, a Schwinn bike and a 3D TV. Life is short. Treat yourself!

National Treasure

Tomb Raider

Thank you!

Thank you!

"Losing weight is hard. Being fat is hard. Choose your hard." I hope you find what motivates you to get to the next level. Good luck!

Then put the crockpot in the bathroom and close the door so the puppy can't get it. (opportunities vs. excuses)

Word. It's tough to hear, but the truth often is. I remember being in a similar mind set and wanting to not be fat anymore, but not being prepared to truly commit to the work. I talked to people about wanting to lose, but I wasn't taking the necessary steps to do it. When I got the same advice you're getting here, I…

thank you!

Egg white omelettes with mushrooms and feta cheese = YUM! :heart: 1 cup egg whites = 117 cal 1/4 cup feta cheese = 80 cal 5 oz white mushrooms = 30 cal 227 calories for a big, satisfying meal that's quick to make and loaded with protein (and easily adjusted for fewer calories)

LOVE them and love having marathon nights! A fun geek-style drinking (or toking, depending on your preference) game to play while watching The Return of the King.....every time Sam-wise cries, you take a drink/toke. Whoever isn't passed out at the end of the movie - wins!

I gave up caffeine after I quit smoking in April - it was too much of a trigger for me, and I had decided no more addictions or dependencies. (like a coffee and a smoke in the AM to get things moving) I still have the ocassional cup of decaf when I'm missing coffee, but no more dependency on it, no more 4+ cups every…

^^^ that's the ticket! I quit 4/13/12 doing exactly the above, after being an addicted, pack-a-day smoker for more than 20 years. The "something to do" started out for me with cleaning, and then turned to exercising. Feeling how much easier it was to breath as the days went on was a huge motivator to keep going! The…

Happy Birthday!! I quit smoking on Friday the 13th - it IS an awesome day!

I quit smoking on Friday the 13th! (4/13/12)

I'm finishing book 4 now - it was a tough read, but SO worth it to get to the end. Promise! =]

HIGHLY recommend John Sandford's "Prey" series. There are 20+ books (you don't have to read them in order, just the main characters are continuous, but some of their back stories will make more sense if you read the earlier novels first, as they're referred to throughout the series) and the writing is fantastic and fast…

The ones I can remember... AC/DC (1st concert) Barenaked Ladies The Clarks Dave Matthews Band Donnie Iris Elton John Eric Clapton Grateful Dead Lenny Kravitz Live (multiple) My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult (Blue Buddha!) Prince Rush Rusted Root They Might Be Giants Works on Blue (you are missed, CBGB!)

bump - thank you!

I'm also in the "100+ Club" and I'm doing it in incremental goals this time. I've lost and gained back literally _hundreds_ of pounds in the last 20 years on yo-yo diets and it's time for me to stop the insanity. I'm not even sure what my goal weight should be, but after my initial goal of 36 lbs, I'm going to set 25 lb…

YUM! Thank you!

Thank you for asking this and for all of the great answers/info. I'm going to need this soon! Bump for later...
