I remember a lot of you when I was posting week by week my experiences with quitting smoking, then last year the 1st meeting with WW, the time has flown by.

The big difference is my attitude, I can do this and will, it's not going to be an overnight wake up and I'm thin but a gradual process of combining healthy eating (most of the time) with 3 sessions a week of personal training. My first week at the gym was a 15 second plank, and I was down for the count, now 60 second planks, mixed with step ups so I'm so happy I can do this. I squatted down to get a baking pan and it didn't even phase me going down and back up. Next difference is my pants, down from XL to M which is just plain huge in my book. I didn't save the XL's, they are gone and gradually the Large's are being replaced with mediums.

Thanks everyone, your support means a lot and the encouragement is beyond what anyone could expect. This year it's Merry Christmas to me and not in the form of material possessions but just peace of mind that I can do this.

CONGRATS to YOU! Love reading your post. It is certainly inspiring.

Would you mind sharing how old you are, how much weight you've lost, any other details, etc? I've let myself go beyond belief. Years ago I easily exercised at home. I have a zillion exercise tapes and once enjoyed doing them. Now, I can't get into it AT ALL. I've never, ever been one to go to a gym, but maybe a trainer is the only way to kick my big butt into gear at this point.

I would love to hear a little more about your journey....your victorious journey!

Age doesn't matter, that's just a point in time, it's how you feel and what you do with your life.

I used to think driving past the gym was enough, I used to believe that watching people exercise was enough, I bought a fitness bike and believed that would help me. and I really believe if you are indeed serious, do want to make a difference, hire a trainer. He's not mean, just honest and believes in you, he wants to be successful and if you are, he is.

Weighed in this morning at WW.... 0 down, 0 up. Is that good? Today it is.

CONGRATULATIONS!

I quit smoking November 17, 1981. I smoked 2.5 packs a day back then. It was very difficult to quit but I did it. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself!
