I love this post! Thanks for selecting it @jillar and kudos to @Sazerac

This is awesome progress @Penguin! I hope that your first workout goes well. Stick to your plan and don’t overdo it. I look forward to your next update.

Congratulations @Reciprocity and thank you ever so much for all of the assists during the early months of my quit.

I have been stuck at 169.9lbs for over a month! I can’t make the scale budge either way. I would be ecstatic to get back to my self designated ideal weight of 140. The belly fat has become my nemesis. But I’m not suffering from joint pain or stiffness and my back hasn’t bothered me in over a month. My gait is more sure, lengthier, and faster. I’m becoming more and more toned. So all in all, I’m happy and feeling healthier.

I used patches during my initial quit. They helped with the additional stress and anxiety I already suffered from. As far as I can recall within 2 months I quit using them as I forgot to apply one and realized I no longer needed them. I wish you well on your non smoking journey.

Such a wonderful post @Wendy Congratulations on your ten year anniversary.

Congratulations @BAT! This is awesome.

Congratulations on your 23rd year Christian!

Hopefully when you start seeing real results it will be different for you.

Those are the basics Penguin. Very important to engage those core muscles. Helps with stability also and it’ll actually start helping those abs tighten up too. I have always enjoyed staying toned and have worked with free weights a lot. I can hardly wait to start seeing updates on your results!

Happy 7th @notsmokinjo!!!

One of my aunt’s house was just saturated with nicotine and tar and smoke residue. It smelled so badly. I remember sitting on the edge of the sofa because you could literally feel the stickiness of it on the fabric. After she passed they literally had to redo the sheet rock and the flooring. She died from a major stroke and my uncle passed from emphysema. They both smoked since they were young teenagers.

I don’t smoke anymore!!! It is one of the best things I can say. The only thing I can compare the feeling to that I get when I say it is when I used to sing My Country ‘Tis Of Thee in grade school. HaHa An amazing post by the way and I’m sure that it will help someone along the way. Congratulations on your fourth year of being a quitter! I’ll be four years in March! I hope to see you around more.

Congratulations @QuittingGirl! You’ve had an amazing year and I’m so proud of you!

Congratulations Johnny! 10 years is a long time. Thank you for hanging around and helping others like me along the way.

Welcome aboard @Ritagirl! I hope things are still going well. You’ve come to the right place for information and support. Stay close and reach out if you need anything!

@MLMR Sorry I wasn’t around to help you through your struggle last week. I hope that you are back to being you and stronger than you were before because of it. Next time you will know that you had those men lined up and kicked every one of their behinds. LOL They have no power over you now. See you around.

Happy 11th Doreen. Thank you for being here for me when I needed you most and for ALWAYS having words of support and encouragement even now.

Congratulations @Sazerac! On quitting what made you that to become THIS! So inspirational to me and so many others.

Congratulations @MarylandQuitter and thank you so very much for the TRAIN!
