Good morning and Happy New Year to all of you out there in Quitland! Let's hope you can stay off those nasty things this year and have a happy and healthy year.

So I've been out to my local parkrun this morning. As I'm a bit out of practice with running I did a volunteer role and was stood out in the wind and torrential rain for an hour, freezing at the finish line. If I'd have been planning to run, I'd have stayed home, that's for sure, but 88 people turned out to run. They're probably still relaxing in a long hot bath now!

[jillygirl Administrator Queen Bee in reply to andi22]

Happy new year Andi, got your bath ready. enjoy your day. hurry up before Pete pulls the plug out.

All my very best wishes to everyone for this new year. My first New Years Day as a non smoker. Amazing. Well done to everyone who has quit and good luck to those who are planning to. As a nearly one year of not smoking person I can only say that it is still thrilling to think I managed to quit and have stayed a non smoker.

Very Happy New Year.

[EmJay Partner]

Afternoon Everyone and welcome to 2014, also a huge welcome to all our new members

JillyGirl, I loved your poem yesterday it really made me smie Hope you had fun last night, I reckon you would have been the last one to bed

SimbaSue, lovely to see you here. Sometimes it's the times when you least likely feel like posting is probably the time to pop a little post in or PM to let us know you need us. We can then give you that little bit extra time to encourage you on to where you want to be. Let us take the pressure from you and not worry about quitting right this minute and look towards sometime in the not too distant future. We'll all help you to put a good plan into place and work towards your quit date. How does that sound? You can and will do this, we all have the faith in you

Sky44, welcome into Day 18! You're almost all the way through your 3rd week now. Well done to you

Andi, you are such an energetic inspiration! I have decided to have a go at Pete Reeds press up challenge (i reckon our Pete could do this too) you start off by doing 1 pressup on day 1 of the New Year, 2 on day 2 and so on... By the end of the year you will be doing 365 in one day. They dont all have to be done at once, maybe in sets of 20 or 30, just as long as you complete th full number. Not sure how long I'll keep it up but at least I've done Day 1 now, although it was more like a swan dive!

YellowSnowDrop, I have to agree with you, you are all superstars and I really do believe that everyone will get to where they want to be, just in their own time. That's why here at Quit Support we 'run with the runners and walk with the walkers'

Kaprin, you're doing absolutely brilliantly and if you look on the bright side as in if you were still smoking, you wouldn't be struggling, but you would be feeling pretty that you hadn't stopped. This feeling won't last forever and the more times you overcome those minutes of cravings, then the easier it will become. You're a winner so just remember that

Sally, welcome into your first year as a non smoker. You are doing fantastic, well done!

I'm away out for a couple of hours just now but will bob back on later.

Keep smiling everyone

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to EmJay]

Happy New Year Emjayyyyyyy

A massive thank you for all the help and support that you have given to me over the last ermmmm, many moons eh Just hope I can stick with it this time

Love and huggs on there way to you gal, Pete xx

[Hidden]

Happy New Year to everyone. Another year done and dusted. Well only 3 weeks and 3 days left til I've been stopped 12 whole months. Glad I did it I suppose though I won't lie when I say its the hardest thing I've ever done. Just keep truckin along everyone, you'll get there in the end.

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to Hidden]

Hi ya Sinfree

I hope you had a lovely Christmas and a jolly New Year gal Gosh how time fly's by eh !! just another 3 weeks etc, and your 1 Year quit

Do you think it was worth the hassle, the groans, the moans, the fights you had with yourself !!, the scraps you had with Mr nic !! and thats not counting the times you bashed me gal and Boy, was I bashed

Hey, you take care Sinfree, and enjoyyyyyyyyy xx

[Hidden in reply to monky]

Was it worth it? Well I guess only time will tell, but I think I played the lottery with life for long enough and I think it's time to take stock and count me blessings. Happy new year Pete, sorry to hear you have woman flu, hope you're soon feeling better. I have had bad belly flu all of Christmas but it does mean there's lots of choccies, mince pies and wine for the new year.

[Kaprin in reply to Hidden]

Really proud of you, my inspiration to keep going x

[Hidden in reply to Kaprin]

Happy New Year Kaprin. You'll be OK, those first few weeks really are the hardest and you've already got through 9 of them. Keep going, it'll soon be summer and all the really bad cravings will be behind you.

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer]

I wish everybody a massive, big, gigantic, loving and smokefree HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRRRRRRR

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to jillygirl]

Heyyyyyyy Jillygirl

A flippin Happy New Year to you toooooo gal I thought this ear Woman flue was making me talk to myself again !! thought I was going bonkers

Mist ya xxxxxx

[andi22]

Evening all. Gosh Pete, I'm so sorry to hear you've got woman flue, maybe a bit of a brush might sort it out for you.

thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l2...

Sin, just think of all those pounds (in weight) that you've saved by not eating all those chocs etc. If you'd eaten them, you'd have more difficulty getting up those hills on your bike! I'm sure you'll have enough to keep you going to Easter now. ;-o

Jilly, hope your hangover's subsiding a bit now.

Emjay, found a new challenge eh? that sounds pretty good. I think it'll be difficult doing one month's worth let alone 12 month's worth by this time next year! I'd really like to be a fly on the wall there. Please keep us posted how your getting on. I've decided I'm not doing any running til February now, when I get back from my sister's.

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to andi22]

Cheers Andi, I always new that you would come to my rescue !! ermmmm, where precisely should i stuff that brush then

On second thoughts, I will think of somewhere to put that brush eh best put it in my garage for a rainy day me thinks

[andi22 in reply to monky]

You may have to use it on Sin's drains too.

[Hidden in reply to andi22]

[Hidden in reply to andi22]

mmm, I've not had a proper meal since Christmas Day. The odd bacon butty is about all I've had in a week, have I lost any weight?? NO. Not impressed. But like you say I suppose there is always the chance I would have put weight on if I'd been OK. Another bacon butty for tea tonight, I don't know I'll either disappear or turn into a pig. Oink Oink. Oh and a hot x bun. haha, can you believe that, hot x buns were in the shops before new year.

[andi22 in reply to Hidden]

Hi Sin, don't think they're ever out of the shops these days are they?

[Hidden in reply to andi22]

No come to think of it, which is good cos I love 'em. Aww was hubby's birthday today and we've had no cake and no wine He's got it too, though not quite as bad as me but I wouldn't let him have any wine cos I couldn't have any

[andi22 in reply to Hidden]

[andi22]

Pete, just seen an ad on the telly for you - dryathlon uk - could be your challenge for the year.

(Think I'd better hide somewhere. )

[monky Administrator Cake sniffer outer in reply to andi22]

OY, just googled dryathlon,

It's no good hiding behind the settee, cos ya bums sticking up hmmm, now where did I put my spear

[andi22 in reply to monky]

Coward! Look at all that armour you're wearing - you won't be able to catch me!

[Hidden]

Anyway Andi, did you have a lovely holiday and christmas with your family? Bet it's feeling a little chilly here after all that lovely hot weather.

[andi22 in reply to Hidden]

Had a lovely time thanks. It doesn't feel too cold at the moment but I know I'm back home with the weather! I thought I might catch a lurgey on the way home as everyone seemed to be coughing and sneezing on the planes and everywhere but so far so good. I hope it stays that way.

[Hidden in reply to andi22]

Very good, glad you enjoyed it.

[Hidden]

Got to be up at 6.30 in the morning to go to the fun factory So night, night andi, Pete and everyone else.
