Im doing ok so far, its been a really busy week and my kids have been playing up so there was a couple of times where i really wanted to have a cig, but i didnt and was really pleased with myself! Ive been out walking this morning with them, and now their dad has taken them for the night, so ive got the place to myself and going to chill out with some films, homemade popcorn(was watching a program the other day about making toffee popcorn at home!) and soak my feet! totaly bliss! hows everyone else doing?

I've only just discovered you're all over here as well as on the Champix one. Excellent - more posts to respond to of a morning. The weight gain thing might be an old topic now but I've just caught up - and yeah I'm putting weight on when I really need to lose quite a lot. I'm in danger of winter clothes not fitting this year. I know exercise is the best option, just not very motivated.

So how is the no smoking going for yous all? Im doing well, really starting to feel different now...taste and smell is so much stronger and id forgotten how good some foods taste! as for the extra weights, ive been watching the size of my meals and cutting down a little on the portion size and then trying to do more active things to burn off a bit more than  what im eating.
