I'm focused on not gaining weight during my quit. I think that will help significantly. My quitting smoking doesn't mean I get to eat anything I want. I'm going to recommit to tracking my food every day. I'm ok with stalling out on my weight loss for a few weeks.. really hope not to gain though.

Wow what great replies! I will be looking over this post when I need a little reminder of what I'm doing. I don't smoke, I like that ;) Congratulations to all the quitters out there this is FREAKING TOUGH.. at times. Most of the time it's pretty ok. 4 hours in... and counting.

"just keep swimming" - Dory :)

Ha. Nope didn't notice. I don't respond to that because I don't have a scale.. sends me into deep thoughts of purchasing one lmbo!

I'm looking for something that's good as an everyday watch too...

Anyone try Mint.com? Loving it.

I used Run Double. It gives you a couple of weeks free.. then its something like $3 for ALL the plans. Did the 5k, will be doing the 10k one, and the 5k improver this year. I love love loved it. Hope you decide to go for it, its WORTH it.

Yea.. mentally working out is time for yourself.. no one wants anything from you, you can just focus on yourself. It's the only chance I get in the run of a day to listen to my music, not be interrupted, sweat like crazy, and get my little lift or high or whatever. If working out is YOUR time it might become something you…

1- Run a 10k held in my town - June 2- Bikini in July (warm enough to swim.. maybe) 3- Smokin' lingerie in September (my birthday) 4-Be at goal (150-155..) for my birthday

IDK? I had two thanksgiving meals. I kinda just ate a normal portion meal? Twice? and didnt really eat breakfast.. I dont think I hit 4000 for the day. I'm not big on sweets and casseroles though. I had a couple of glasses of wine. I really cant see how I would have fit 4500 cals into one sitting. Not without feeling very…

It's nice to see I'm not alone on this. It is getting colder and darker at night, but I have to get past that. Just getting out there is a great goal. And maybe it's too soon to expect a major goal as motivating as c25k right now. There is a 10k in June. But yes I think my next goal is going to be just getting out there at…

Did not know about non-alcoholic wine. Whats the name?

Crap, I should say - Have you seen the crap the government thinks my kid should have for lunch? I sometimes send *gasp* a fruit roll up. That's what I get for being a so called parent.... wait... :huh:

Have you seen the crap the school thinks my child should eat. Uh, I'll send the goldfish, thanks. FYI tomorrow is chicken nugget and FF day lmao.

Yesterday ...thought I was making a good choice at Olive Garden. The grilled chicken flatbread appetizer was almost 800 cals :( and went to a party last night and drank 6 beer. Sheeeesh.... can't win 'em all. I logged them, and ran.. and took it easy today. It is what it is, not logging would be like lying to myself. I can…

Having the same problem. Been running for a bout a month now, scale won't cooperate. BUT my jeans fit much better, I feel great, the weight can't stick around forever! Will take some extra patience but the run is worth it.

Quit smoking about 6 weeks ago, was in the same boat as you. I put down smokes and picked up running. The really intense cravings were the addict/junkie in me looking for an endorphin rush. Chocolate and herbal tea was my savior. Small servings, count the cals, stick to maintenance during the first week or two. Do not beat…

Hmm cucumber water sounds interesting.. Not sure why when I hear 8 glass of water a day I thought they meant only water? Guess I take things too literally sometimes :) I'm gonna bust out the straws too. Thanks everyone :)

What are in those Mio drops? So the tea does count? That makes me feel a bit better.

Was just about to post something similar.. Just noticed I'd been here over two months and my scale today says I've only lost 1lb. Its nice to see I'm not alone, but just like you said I'm sick of talking about it...

Maybe just a side effect of new habits? I always noticed I'd be dry when I ran, and I hated carrying a water bottle with me. Gum saved my life lol. So maybe that will help?

Always wanted to see Niagra Falls, its on my bucket list :) Doing great so far. Love the accountability. Knowing I have to input what I've eaten at the end of the day has definitely curbed a lot of dumb mistakes I usually make in the run of a day. My start weight was taken about a week ago.. Im already down 3lbs.. I got…

Hope this works! Starting at 178. It would be amazing to be in the 160's by my birthday 9/2 :)

I'm brand new here.. 5'8 about 180.. I need some friends ;) and currently don't know how to add any add me if u like
