Hi and warm welcome from me as well. Just had to reply as we share the same birthday but regret not the same age - I was 58 but wish I was 46 actually no, make that 16! Congrats and very well done on your 4 weeks and keep on doing whatever it is you're doing as seems to be working!

i know what you mean about the increased appetite, i have put weight on due to picking mostly sweet things. I have told myself its a treat to me for not smoking and im going to enjoy it for 4 weeks and not feel guilty or down about it . Alas the 4 weeks are now up so im joining a slimmimng club tonight . I will get healthy lol .

well its a big night for me tonight . I have enjoyed picking at sweeties and not so healthy food for the last 4 weeks as a treat for not smoking and also to not stress to much for putting weight on. But i now feel its time to get a grip on things so i am joining a slimming club tonight .

I get healthy LOL .
