... how is everyone going with their new years resolutions??? I finally gave up the smokes on the 3rd (well the late hours of the 2nd), I have started counting my steps again (only on working days at the moment), and my aim of 15000 a day I am achieving that and a bit more (but I did only start back on Monday). I haven't brought a 600ml of coke zero yet either - I did have one but it was a free one. My big one of losing 25kgs will be an on going thing. I am hoping the walking 15000 steps a day, giving up smoking, and the endless bottles of coke zero will belp me on my way.

Well done Becks. Just don't put too much pressure on your self re the weight loss as I know from experience that gaining weight goes hand in hand with quitting smoking. Perhaps just concentrate on maintaining weight at the moment rather than loosing it. No point setting your self up for failure. Best to be off the fags and sort the weight out once the smoking is sorted. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

And I can also sympathize, a person walked past me today and lit a cigarette. It sounds horrible but it smelt SO good! I miss smoking but glad I managed to give it the boot for so many reasons. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Good one Becks, it took for me to get pregnant to give up smoking, and as for losing weight that will have to wait till after baby is born.
Oh and no resolutions here i find them to hard to keep. ------------- Kelly, mother to 4 wonderful children. http://lilypie.com">

Good on you!
I gave up when I got pregnant with Jackson and I was not supposed to start back again.. But I found once I started having the occasional wine I really craved a cigarette, so I started buying a packet every time I bought a bottle of wine. Over christmas I was buying a bottle every 2-3 days! My resolution was to stop my cigarette buying and social smoking, so far so good. I feel really depressed though, theres nothing like sitting outside in the sun with a glass of wine and a cigarette, and a good book. ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

OMG Kaiz I so know what you mean. That is really hard at the moment. Knowing me once Nigel is back at work and away from me I will be back on them. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Yes, who would have known something so disgusting could be so so good.
I find that I am always thinking about it, especially in the evenings once the kids are in bed. It was like a reward for me I guess, and now I have nothing, except perhaps chocolate biscuits, but I dont want to go down that track. My Bestie used to always pop over for a coffee and a cigarette in the afternoons and now that we have both given up we dont do it. I really miss it, its shocking! ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

Good on you guys, I gave up cold turkey nearly 6 years ago and can't believe I ever smoked, it's so gross, haha! You will get to the point where you don't like the smell but I think it takes a while.
Good luck  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Well done Becks!
Are you giving up the Coke Zero too? A friend of mine used to drink a hell of a lot of fizzy ie a couple of litres a day & she swapped them for water & lost a heap of weight. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

How does that work? I've heard the same thing before, so don't doubt it's the case... but its hard to imagine that giving up something with no kj content could cause you to lose weight! -------------

if its replaced with water then it can help you drop weight. people can often be retaining fluid causing excess weight because the body stores fluid not knowing when it will get its next batch in, but more importantly water is the bodies system to ship fat out of the body. if you burn heaps of fat but it cant leave the body then it re-stores so totally worth thinking bout how much water you drink :) -------------

Um no I can't give up 2 things at the same time. I would be a nightmare to be around ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
. I have swapped from buying 2-3 600ml bottles a day to 1 2.25 bottle every 4 days to have at work. I took in a glass and the bottles to work and have it by the glass at the moment. However I did have a 600ml bottle today as well all got one (well Andrew and Josh shared) with an icecream (it is so hot here today in the desert).
