I have been smoke free for Four months, three weeks, one day, 16 hours, 3 minutes and 42 seconds. 7133 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,177.02. Life saved: 3 weeks, 3 days, 18 hours, 25 minutes.

I used Wellbutrin (the generic Zyban) to quit. Smoked about 3 packs a day. Smoked for 45 years. Gained a lot of weight. Gained 5 lbs the first week alone, so you know it was bad. I averaged about 10 lbs a month gained.

Now I want to lose the weight, but the quit is number one. I joined weight watchers but find I need something in my mouth and they allow me very little food.

Am really hopefull about this diet, otherwise, will just have to give it some more time. With summer coming really would like to get rid of some of this excess baggage.

Thumbs up 3 month anniversary

I totally forgot to post yesterday that it was my 3 month anniversary for quitting!

Time Smoke-Free: 91 days, 9 hours, 39 minutes and 4 seconds
Cigarettes NOT smoked: 3656
Lifetime Saved: 27 days, 22 hours
Money Saved: £849.94

OMG, look how many cigs I could have smoked if I hadn't quit - that's approx 1,200 per month I didn't realise that I must have been a fairly heavy smoker until I saw those stats!



Congrats to everyone else on this thread who have managed to quit the evil nicotine - WTG I hope that everyone is really proud of themselves

I have been smoke free for two weeks today.

The last few days have been amazingly difficult as far as cravings go, but I made it!!!!!

Congratulations Demi , I hope I forget that I used to be a smoker one day (sigh).

It has been 9 months, 19 days, 15 hours. Sometimes I forget that I smoked, but I still enjoy standing next to someone that is smoking. I am amazed that I have no desire to smoke at all. I smoked 2 packs a day for about 23 years. But I gained about 35 pounds when I quit and it became so hard to lose weight and thats how I found my new way of eating.
