Oh boy... I would never go back to smoking! It is nice not having to smell like that. Now I smell other people who smoke and get grossed out!! I can't believe how I could not smell that before!Originally Posted by chick_in_the_hat
I gained quite a bit of weight after I quit smoking in Oct '97...can't tell ya how much cause I wasn't weighing myself in those days. I still think it was worth it - every time I think a cigarette sounds good I try to remember that I only quit 3 times. There were 10 year gaps between each attempt. I start to think if I start smoking again now - and it takes ten years before I get around to quitting again (I'm a professional procrastinator) how old will I be?

I have been trying to stay around 1600 calories a day since 8/25/05. I am hoping I start to see some results on the scale soon. But that is a good point... about the plateau! I didn't think of that!Originally Posted by chick_in_the_hat
I like calorie counting, too...1600 might be a good place to start - it gives you room to cut back later when you hit a plateau...
