Thanks

Hi all I hope you don't mind me coming for a chat? I had my 1st WI on Thursday and lost 5lb.

I had my 1st weigh in on Thursday and lost 5lb which I was very pleased with. Hoping at least 2lb at next Wi

Shame I really used to enjoy that.

This question has probably already been asked. Can you have Oat so simple as a healthy extra:confused:

After a few years of health problem I've decided its time to give SW another go so I'm back. Will be joining group on Thursday,has anyone got any tips :)

Yes i tryed to give up a few times but have never stuck to it but wish i had now. :rolleyes:

First big milestone 1 month no smoking. don't miss it never want one again and have save i lot of money by quitting.

Thanks :bighug:

yes i'm putting the money away,and because we had to cancel our holiday this year we have decided that when im better we will then rebook the holiday and put the money we have saved towards our spending money. :patback:

23 days without a cig im so pleased and i must say i dont even miss it. :)

Im still waiting for a date to go into hospital.it's been just over 3 weeks now that i have not smoked. although i haven't really been on here much lately im still using mfp and although ive had a few bad days im still keeping to my calorie allowance,but i havent been eating very healthly and my...

Im not eating more but would like to lose weight i think that will be my next focus after ive had this op :rolleyes:

I think i can now class myself as a non smoker. not having a cig for 2 and a half weeks,and i can safely say i don't want one either. :)

The giving up smoking is going really well at the moment i just wish the dieting was as easy. im just going to concentrate on eatiing eating healthly at the moment.

You are doing really well dd wish I was but at the moment i seem to be doing the exact oposite:(

there has been a few times when ive smelt someone with a cig and thought yuk:eek:. the only time ive realy felt like lighting up is when ive been in pain and then i just remind myself how well im doing. ;)

Thanks im not in hospital yet,but still having a ruff time of eating at the moment i seem to have the best of intentions and then eat everything in sight. :rolleyes:

hi everyone im doing really well 15 days now and not had a smoke :). been tempted a couple of times though :sigh:

I can't believe how well some of you are doing ccing but i think it's not for me as I had a hospital appointment today i got them too weigh me and ive put on 5lbs in a month.so decided to just eat healthly I will be popping back to see everyonrs progress and to also keep you all informed on how...

Im still going strong can't even say i want to smoke now. my breath feels better although i didn't think there was anything wrong with it before and also my sleep pattern is better:)

I have just had some biccie's before bed so im now 108 cals under :rolleyes: but going out tomorrow so no doubt that i will have a treat for lunch :)

Well a full week of not smoking and it feels great. food wise has been really good today but i am under my calorie limit by about 300 cals but just don't feel like eating.

Sorry about your niece they will get to the bottom of her problem. Looks like you had a good day food wise.x

Well it been a week now and im really pleased that ive manged to give up. It hasn't been anywhere near as bad as i was expecting and i feel so much better for it. :party0049:

When i gave up my husband was still smoking but he hasn't smoking now for 2 days:)

Well it been 6 days now and i must admit I haven't even wanted too smoke appart from when i was in huge amount of pain. So im very pleased.

As of today ive decided too add some light exercises into my regimes aswell as ccing. I thought it would be good to help the losses abit. anyway i was under by 75 cals after going on 60 mins walk/wheelchair push and doing some housework for 30 min.

I managed to stick with 1200 today but the food i had wasnt very healthy. :rolleyes:

Day 4 of not smoking must of been the hardest so far. I was in so much pain that all i wanted to do was smoke and eat but i managed to refrain from the smoking which took amazing amounts of willpower so im very proud of myself but the not eating i could only hold off til about 9pm. Im hoping im...

Sorry i didn't update yesturday but i was in that much pain all i wanted to do was smoke and eat. i was able to refrain from the smoking but the eating was asking a bit much of myself. :cry:

Well 3 days of no smoking and eating healthly and I must admit I feel great :D

Yay 3 days of no smoking,eating healthly and i think i actually managed to eat within my allowance :)

another good day have eat fairly healthly today but have gone over my calorie allowance quiet a bit but on the plus side ive not cig all day.

No not yet but im hoping it won't be to long as i want to get it over with asap. :eek:

Really pleased with myself today ive managed to eat very healthly,having 4 of my 5 a day,even though ive gone slightly over on my cals todays. But im still very happy as I also decided to give up smoking ready for my operation. :cry:

Well i am able to say that i haven't had a cig all day,so im really pleased with myself as im dieting aswell.:sigh:

Thank you Grumpywino

Well i haven't managed to give up completely yet but have cut down. Ive decided that tomorrow is the day. Im going to try and go cold turkey as i don't smoke that much in the day but it's the evening that i struggle with if that doesn't work i will go to my doctors and see about getting champix...

As im finding it difficult at the moment i thought that it would be easier to start a blog. Im going to continue ccing but im also going to eat healthly making sure I have my 5 a day. ;)

I also follow MFP and it said i should be having 1200kcals per day but i always struggle to eat that much. ;)

Hi all, Im also ccing but have done sw in the past,I would also like to join your challenge starting tomorrow I'm going to give up chocalate/crisps and biscuits. I'm also on MFP. :)

I do feel slightly better.i just want to get everything sorted now. Regarding ccing i will be over.:rolleyes:

I did SW a few years ago and lost 2.5st but now im just calorie counting as it is a while since i did SW and the plan has changed. Im finding it quiet difficult to adjust as im trying to stick to 1200 calorie but because im used to doing SW where i can eat as much fruit/veg i like. it is...

A slight change to my calorie intake for today i ended up 99 cals under which is not to bad ;)

Although still not completely back to ccing according to MFP i will be about 386 cals under today which im not to bothered about as it would balance out my terrible week slightly.

I love it, it actually cheered me up when i read that for the first time all week :) thanks dd.

Although im stil not quiet with it emotionaly/mentally I thought i would have a look on MFP and see what my cals have been for today coz to be honest I havent taken much notice of cals lately. I was suprised to see that I only went over my allowence by 100 cals ;)

Im still having a bad time trying to cc what with everything that has happened over the past few days im hopefully going to get back to it soon :rolleyes:

Thank you but i will be once the shock wears off :eek:

To be honest dd i feel worse had a hospital appointment which is quiet serious :( i haven't done much ccing today but what ive had should still be in my allowance :)
