I had no idea that a persons burns 200 calories when they smoke. That is amazing! I'm going to have to run three hundred extra miles a day now to make up for it :p Thanks...I think :8o: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/15/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 17 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 262 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $68 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 5 [B]Mins:[/B] 51 [B]Seconds:[/B] 58

Hello again to all of you. Finally I have made it!!!! I haven`t smoke any cigarette for 7 days, cold turkey. I could even think that I could be so strong. Well last week it was really very rough. I sill have my cravings and my dizziness but the last two days I feel that I can handle them better. Kate, finally this weekend I change my mind and I went with my filmily to our country house. I took 2-3 hours of walk, every day, I washed all the carpets, I cooked I did everything to distract my thoughts. My problem is that I gained some weight without eating more than I used to and I go every day to my gym Quitting smoking changes metabolism or not?

Congrats on surviving hell week! I haven't gained any weight (because I haven't looked!) I'm just proud of myself for quitting...when I do finally get on those scales (and if they are too high), I'll deal with it then. I'll look much prettier with all my teeth, no wrinkles and no smoke hanging out of my gob (as I've heard it described before) even if I am afew pounds heavier. So glad you keep posting! Keep up the great work!

Good for you 7 days!!!! Keeping yourself busy is the best thing you can do, with time you will begin to learn to relax. As far as the weight...I have been gaining. I have read that when you smoke you burn an extra 200 calories. So those 200 might make a difference. I am trying to concentrate on my quit first then the weight. I will see what my body is going to do later, it is going through alot of changes right now.
