"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint" (Hesiod, 8th century BC)

Trish, I found a series of videos called "Fit in Five" on the Doctor Oz website...there are four of them...

Oh, I forgot to mention, there is another forum where many of us pledge N.O.P.E. (Not one puff ever) each day, and that helps us. Once I have made my daily pledge, smoking is out of the question for that day...hope this will help you, too.

Welcome to the board, Anna! You are so wise to quit at your age...your body can and will heal itself and it will be as if you never smoked. There are certainly dozens of us here who wish we had made that choice. On the Quit Smoking discussions board, there is a lot of great information to help you educate yourself about the addiction and quitting. There are a lot of kind, supportive, slightly nutty people here who will happily support your quit while having some fun along the way!!

So happy to hear she is doing well...the collar could be a struggle...

No smoking for me, today!

Okay, based on what Marti says...sounds like we are good at the doctor, at least nothing serious. Hoping you will have pleasant surprise at the dentist, and it won't be bad at all!

Wonderful news, Armed! Six months is fabulous! Celebrate!

Hysterical...ribs are hurting from laughing...please stop!

that is what I was trying to say....

Oh, Tracey!! So very happy for you, and so glad share your humour and your giving heart. I am so glad that you are a part of my life... Five Months is Fabulous!!!!

Awww, Jake...I so remember feeling this way. I mean, just because I smoked for 40 years...why shouldn't I be over it in a few weeks? All I can tell you is that it is a journey...your body cannot heal that quickly! But trust me on this...it keeps getting better and better....

Absolutely...it is fabulous! The colors, the graphics, the layout....love it all!

Felt like the old days, huh? (lol...as one old hippie to another!)

Of course he is...lol!!

Oh, Ross, please try not to worry...lots of thoughts and prayers coming your way. Love you to the moon and back! Julie, I promise you will not have pancake boobs....(unless you already do?) Love you, too!

We are looking good!!!

So what's the verdict?

Wonderful!! Wanting it totally different than doing...good for you!

:( I keep hoping I can get the weight off...my pants are not comfortable...

Very well said, Rain. I hope your friend will wake up before it is too late... Julie and LB, so very sorry for your losses...

Oh, Joe! Sorry I missed this yesterday! Five months is fabulous!!

Wow, LB! You've done it again...beautiful!

Well done, Jonny!
