Hi there been reading this thread, could have wrote it myself 
I am starting May 7th when my term at Uni finishes, it's also my husbands birthday and my daughters birthday that weekend too.
I have got my sample pack and I am looking forward to starting. I did CD a few years ago but some real food is great and the losses on here are great. I lost 4 stone with cd and put on 6 through a combination of not maintaining and depression/anxiety.
I am an ex smoker too. Quit in 2006 using the nicorette fake cigarettes with cartridges. An trying to help my Dad quit at the moment too as he is having cancer treatment. I bought him this bizarre looking smokeless cigarette which you add nicotine fluid to and heat up. It cost quite a lot but he says it's great. If anyone wants a link to it let me know.
I think dieting is a lot like giving up fags.. If you quit fags you tell everyone, if you quit eating folk think you are weird. We all have our reasons though. I am far too large for my frame and ridiculously unhealthy :-(
I look forward to getting to know everyone and reading about all our good losses
Hugs

Awww.... I've had so many false starts... so totally feel where your coming from.
Honestly hun.... if its not working for you then cut out the carbs and maybe try in a few weeks once your feeling better about the no smoking?. But really we're all behind you and know you can do it! Have you thought about distraction techniques? My first week VLCDing i was watching back-to-back episodes of the biggest loser in an attempt to imspire me. Or just find a bazillion little jobs you need to do and try and fill your day so you dont have time to think of foodness or fags.

Yea Phoenix had a good long hard think and gonna get over the fags first and join a slimming club. That's the best I can do. I had another go at it today and I was starving and craving cigs and food. It sent round the bend so had food rather than have a fag. I shall maybe come back in the future. It takes a long time to fully recover from cravings for cigs. Unfortunately I have to give up smoking coz I have a touch of emphysema so it's my priority. I lost my dad to lung cancer 11 years ago. It's heartbreaking. I'm doing really well with not smoking so slimming club here I come Boooh but I know it's for the best.

I think 4-5lb a week is realistic, if we are good

The average weightloss is 14lbs a month, or 3-4lbs a week. More in the first week or two. Personally my aim is 10lbs every 3 weeks... though i always hope for 4lbs a week! My lowest was 2lbs.. or just under... and highest outside of week one was just over 6lbs.

The most important thing is not to feel deflated in yourself. I think S&S is a fantastic plan... but you really need to be in the right frame of mind, and initially make it a priority. Unfortunately smoking and eating go hand-in-hand. My first few weeks on plan i smoked tons, and previous attempts at stopping smoking i ate more. :/ The important thing is that your not giving up your weightloss journey. Every plan has its plusses and minuses and suits diffrent people at diffrent times, so please dont think of this as a failure. Its not.
