Hi,

I am just wondering how people count 2 months etc on here? I am at 8 weeks a week from today but it will be 2 calendar months on Friday 19th - so I quit 8 weeks ago next tuesday but if I was to say I had quit for a year I would take that from the 19th Jan wouldn't I so I feel like cheating if I say two months before the 19th march ... what do you peeps calculate for your length of quit when it reaches another 4 week plus mark?

Thanks!

Jodi

Jodie my lovely you count it however you want to...BUT, I would suggest celebrate 8 weeks (that is pretty impressive, and you are coming to the end for counting in weeks...you'll see!!) then celebrate your 2 months on the calendar date ....double celebrations...

Hey...you are doing so well...I remember your first posts, hope things are going really well for you.

keep strong

Thats what I thought!

Hi Lorna,

Thanks for your response ... thats what I have been doing now and kinda what I thought you should do ... as you say it is a double celebration then hee hee!! It's only because I like to update my status every week on face book so next week is going to be a big celebration and wanted to know which day to play up!!! Then I can start counting in months and weeks rather than weeks WOW!!

Thank for your kind words and support, it was pretty hairy at the beginning but I am really proud of myself and as soon as the energy levels are working the way they should I will never look back!!

No worries....I have had a lot of problems with energy levels, breathlessness, low heart rate, depression...was just about to reach for the bullet when someone suggested exercise.

seeing as I have put on the obligatory stone in weight I decided to give it a go...and I'm a heels and lippy girl who does not do sweat!! I'm loving it, different pains but getting better dragging my old bones round the track. It has really lifted my mood and I am bouncing with energy now.

just a thought...xx

Hi,

I stopped on 9th January 2010, today is 9th March 2010 - that's my 2 months. Kinda like any other anniversary, birthday, whatever, it's easier for me to remember that way.

As long as we're not smoking who cares!

8 weeks - celebrate, post on here, buy yourself a chocolate bar

2 calendar months - BIG celebrations, post on here, buy yourself a nice top or pair of shoes! :p

Both are deserving of a massive pat on the back!

Do not feel as though you have cheated -the only way to cheat is by smoking!

Well done you you're doing great :D and you should be very proud of yourself
