I had a strange experience on the weight scale this morning. It was the first time I stood on it since mid december. Although I officially stopped my diet end november, I kept very cautious with what I am eating: no candy, no beer, now and then a glas of wine, a few 'oliebollen' and 'appelbeignets' with xmas, but nothing extravagant. And this resulted in another few kgs. weight loss, now -23.7 in total.  :o I thought that I noticed that my new pants were getting very loose, and I was right.  :)

So it is good to realize that having healthy eating habits do work.

The irony of you saying that as I shove a sausage roll down my neck!

True Erik. And exercise.

I gained a little weight during the holiday season, but I'm now heading back in the right direction WITHOUT the shakes !  ;D ;D ;D

Hi,
I stopped smoking more than two years ago. I smoked a long time and something like a packet every day and then started rolling my cigarettes. But in the winter I got sick and could not smoke for three days, so I thought, it would be really stupid to start again and I simply did not smoke anymore. And I'm totally fine with it. You only have to remember that you never have to smoke again. In the beginning it was a little bit tough. I had to learn to resist the desire to smoke and it worked fast. Simply don't smoke, that's the whole trick :D
I wish you all the best!

Maximum support for that decission, smoking is unhealthy, smells like hell and very expensive. :P
You should buy some more Zaccaria cabinets on that money! ;)

Way to go Etienne! Each time you want to smoke, instead of buying a pack, put the money in a piggy bank.
When it will be full, you'll be very proud of yourself and can head up straight to the closest bar with that money buy yourself a super cool arcade related stuff, that will be the best trophy !
YOU can do it!
When it's tough remember that humans don't smoke, only machines do. ;)
go! go! go!

I found joining the gym and getting a training program helped me.

I was 6'6" and only 95KG. Now after 5 years of training i'm 122KG.

YEAH!

succes Etiènne, I'm sure that you will succeed. Just remember, if you stop smoking, you will live longer, probably die in a more pleasant way and enjoy your family longer. What more encouragement do you need?  :)
