Congratulations Cali on this amazing milestone. I think the one year anniversary is the one we all have on the horizon when we first start our jouney.
Its a wonderful achievement and deserves a celebration. As for the additional weight, well that seems to happen to most of us, but it can be dealt with. Enjoy your new fitness regime and congrats again.

Cali girl, you should definitely be very proud of yourself. It is so nice of your mom to take you out for dinner to celebrate. Also, good for you for signing up for those fitness classes, you are well on your way to a healthier you!

I haven't come across you before but am delighted to hear about your success. Congratulations. You really deserve a great big hug and a treat. Well done. I am only 3 months free of the nicotine weed but I am also concerned about weight gain. Even before quitting nicotine I was probably about a stone and a half over weight but now after quitting I am about 3 stone over weight. I am adopting the attitude that once Christmas is over I will get into a healthy eating routine. I actually don't have much problem getting into a healthy fitness routine as I sport and exercise. Anyway - nice to talk to you. Congratulations again.
Regards,
Scruffy.

Almost 1 year....OMG. I am so happy and proud of myself. So is my mom. My mom will be treating me to a nice dinner out. Also to deal with the weight gain, I am going to take a fitness class at my work...I work at a college. I will go at least 1 or 2 hours after work. I am determined. Wish me luck.
