Well done people! :)

Interesting how a dream can have such an impact! I can't stand the smell of smoke either, it totally disgusts me! Isn't that fascinating that after deliberately inhaling something for tens of thousands times becomes something that makes you feel sick? Many people assume that once you're an addict you'll stay sensitive for…

Thanks everyone! :D Not so much this attempt, if any. But my first serious attempt to quit smoking (which was more than a year ago and also lasted >100 days) I gained >10 kgs (around 95 to 106 kg). That's what got me in this losing weight thing. I lost it again within 6 months. Now I'm losing more. I think the best thing…

Cool Transformista, let's do this! April is only 9 days. 830 is a lot. Fast food doesn't give a "filled" feeling as much (relative to the amount of calorie) as other foods give. I could easily eat >1500 calories in one meal if I don't watch out. Good idea to have a salad. Just to clarify my goal: my end goal is not to…

Thanks, you too Josh! Good idea to get a vaper instead of smoking. I never heard about a 0 nic ecig. Good that you avoid nicotine as well, I always found this nicotine addiction so annoying. First stage of quitting something is the "fighting stage", where you spend a good amount of energy and willpower to make sure you…

Because I'm near my not clearly defined end goal, I will lose something in the range of 15 to 20 lbs. If that's ok, I'm in!

Thanks, I am happy that after half a decade of relative inactivity (and smoking - I quit now) my body is still able to become strong again. I think we easily underestimate our own physical abilities - I guess that's in part because we live in a time of comfort where we don't have to rely on our physical abilities very…

Did you recently beat a fitness record? What are your goals? What does being/getting fit mean to you?

My first 5K was a week ago. My time was 21:14. Hope to get under twenty minutes later this year.

3 miles, that's an excellent start! I exercise with many friends and every now and then I run with someone who didn't run before - or not in a long time. They are never able to run this far. Personally I started running again after a long time of inactivity by first taking a few months of just walking. I was 106 kg and…

Tell me a bit about you and your goals and accomplishments so far! Or tell a good joke! ;)
