Definitely agree! You can exercise your ass off, but if you're not eating right, none of that matters!

Thank you! :)

It is! I think a sweet thin is a cookie or something, lol.

Very hot day. NOPE! I can't spare any oxygen on smoking.

Is sweating considered exercise? I feel like I'm working out just by sitting here in the heat. I did do a lot of walking today, so I think that at least counts as exercise. :)

Sweet thin! LOL!

:wub: Thank you! <3

Definitely good to hear from you and congrats on two years!

Thank you! :)

Caulflower "rice." Om nom nom!

Dinner a few nights ago. My favourite: cauliflower rice. :D

Dinner last night. Homemade meatballs. :)

A Christmas Story? "It's like every morning I wake up and I fail!"

It's amazing how much we miss out on as smokers.

I shall bow down to the new NOPE queen!

This is pretty epic. I like. Thanks for sharing!

I have asthma and I still smoked like a chimney. Even though my family doctor was pretty adamant about me quitting, I didn't until I really wanted to quit. I like the suggestion of getting him to read the site, but I think that's all you can do for now. Hopefully the trip to the emergency room has got him thinking about what he's doing to his body.

I put on a pair of pants today that I haven't been able to fit into in two years. I was so ecstatic! I know I want to lose more weight, but am not giving myself a specific number anymore. When I do that, I become easily discouraged and give in quickly if the scales aren't moving. I'm a member of a group for those on low carb/high fat diets and there was a woman complaining about how her healthy weight is supposed to be 130, yet she already feels wonderful at 150. I told her numbers don't matter as much as how you feel. The index she was referring to is the BMI, which is completely outdated and doesn't take into consideration body type or build. I say if you feel great at 200, that's awesome! If you feel like you've lost a healthy amount of weight and are happy with where you are, why change that? I'm a big girl who has a long road ahead of her because I know weight is stopping me from certain things (motherhood, for example), but I haven't been as happy as I am now in years.

Thanks Mel! :)

Thank you Tracey! Xxx

Thank you everyone! I am still trying to get over how my eyes look. I look a different person in my after picture. 2014 really wasn't a good year, but I definitely feel so much better now and a lot happier!

Thank you! :)

Hell NOPE!

It's really hard not to focus on the scales sometimes, but I totally agree with you! I have lost inches and have weighed the same, so the scales definitely do lie! Thank you! :)
