For Lent
 

Giving up starches and sugars for lent and giving up alcohol til I lose 20 to kick start my goal of losing 50 before I turn 50 in 7 months. I've been able to get in at least 5 days a week of 30 mins or more of treadmill/ellptacle/bike since Jan. 1. Clothes fit better but no big weight loss. Also doing pushups - started with 10 a session, now 20, adding 10 a month til I get to 100.

Anybody else giving up anything for lent - or starting up something?

Fat and sugar. Gotta lose around 20 also. I hope to lose it before April 1st.
Started last week. Lost 3 lbs. I am on track to succeed, unless I fall off the fat wagon.
I can do without sugar.

Do Atkins...I lost 26lb in one month (January). ;)

Atkins does work. I've done it several times and lost 45 at one time. Gained it back. The key is keeping it off. I seemed to gain it back too fast. Gotta cut back the fat, too and get into the cardio habit.

I did Atkins a couple years ago. It worked great, but when I took a dump, it felt like I was crapping a freakin cinder block. That diet hurts my azz.

A few years back I lost almost 60lb on Atkins. Most of it's come back now, it's time to diet again.

:eek: No pics please.....We will just take your word for it....;)

quit
 

watched my dad die from lung cancer. I quit just after that. Good luck

thats what im afraid of im only 28 and have been smoking for 12 years . its time to quit . how did you do it??????

I used chantix pox just woke up one day and didn't want them anymore but I started dipping about 5 weeks later..... Dumb

Pox, my dad pretty much quit for 2 weeks, using some tablets, that came in a blue capsule. It worked great, i was happy for him, he would only smoke 1 a day the first week, and then none the 2nd week. but sadly he's back to the habbit.

If ya want i can pm ya the name

do it! pm me

I used peppermints from Sam's. Lots of peppermints. Chantix is a great drug, just make sure some one wathces for the side effects.

Pm sent

The Nicorrette, (sp) seemed to help alot also. Know some that used the patch and worked. The main thing is you have to want to quit.

Again, good luck

the tablets my dad used are called,"commit" blue capsule.

tried the patch it gave me hives all over my arms it think it reacted to all my tattoos it was wierd i could feel that **** pumpin in my arm :help:
