5 weeks!

And no pangs.

I am also champix free! TO be honest, I stop taking the Champix on day 17 and haven't had one since? They helped tremedously while thinking about it (from day 1-14), and for a fewe days after but since day 17, no pangs, no champix, no fags.

So weird.

Although, one thing I would say it that I am now 12lbs heavier than I was 5 weeks ago but this I can deal with.

I have got my gym membership and my fat busters book. SHame there isn't a little pill to cure this side of things!

Still, I may be fat, but I'm fag free. And, long may it last.

Hi Little Bob and well done!! I quit the day after you using Champix and stopped taking them 28 days into my quit - and have been fine. I think it's a wonder drug because it worked so well in the first couple of weeks, just amazing.

Oddly enough, I have also put on 12lbs (aaarrrgghhh I just KNEW this would happen)......so I've joined weightwatchers. I hope WW works as well as Champix did. :p

Keep posting LB, we'll soon be at 2 months! :D

Thanks Everyone!

Lily,

Well done!!! I think maybe the 12lbs is just a girl thing then. I only noticed when my trousers were cutting off the blood flow to my legs!!! :D

The fat can be attacked far easier than the fags, so it should be childs play. I'm also joining fat club, there's loads in the city I can nip to (under the cover of night, without anyone see my fat rolls wobble).

Keep in touch and we can do our own little private weigh in! Even a few pounds, just so I can sit down without going red would be nice!! :D

Anyway, good luck and don't worry about it. Better to catch it now before the point of no return!

Bring on the apples and salad :( humph.

LB !xxx

Congratulations and good job. 5 weeks is not small deal. I find a milestone to be strong motivation to get to the next one.

WayyHeyy!!!

Well done!!!

I'm a big believer in one thing at a time, and have conciously tried to stop eating cake/choc etc... Xmas will be interesting with all of the yummy treats that my new taste buds will refind.... *cringe*

Be strong.... it may be a rumour but apparently with a little exercise effort the metabolism equalises back again..... :D

I'm keeping my fingers and chubby little toes crossed....
