no more smoking fresh start with fitbit

[no-more-smoke]

im 27 years old and Ive just started using fitbit reason being i decided to quit smoking using the viapourisers, everyone says you gain loads of weight after you quit and being female and all that really was not a desired effect im self conscious enough as it is, so i came to the conclusion that fitbit could help me keep track of my overall fitness levels. my big goal now is to reach 0 nicotine intake and improve my fitness so i can enjoy life more and undo all the damage smoking did to my health.

it would be fantastic to be able to make some friends trying to achieve the same or simiar goals trying to stay motivated.

wishing you all the best guys

I'll joing you on your quest @no-more-smoke! I have to admit that is one of my concerns too, but after having a phneumonia scare, I really have to drop it. 

Let's do this! 

[no-more-smoke]

Welcome aboard XD so far i havent had a cigarette for 8 days and i also had a scare over my head ive got to have a swollen lymphnode tested still waiting for the appointment 😕 i would highly recommend the vapourisers they have really helped i had been shamefully smoking since i was 13 and had never gone 2 hours without a smoke XD lets get healthy !!!

Best thing you could ever do for yourself. WTG being 8 days in!

I quit smoking 2-3 days ago. I figured doing this and smoking would probably do more damage then good. Plus ill save money with no having to pay for cigs, gum, body spray, a lung transplant 😉

yay for no smoking!

Wow!  Respect to you guys for taking on 2 challenges!  Quitting smoking AND fitness!  Both can be challenging on their own!  Hope you get lots of support.  Can't really help much from personal expereince with quitting smoking, but can encourage and offer support.  With any addicting sort of habit, it can be easy to replace one with something else, so maybe fitness can scratch that itch to smoke when it hits?

But also, don't just give up should you backslide (on either smoking or fitness) -- none of us are perfect and adopting new habits takes time, just as breaking old ones does.  And sometimes those habits are can not go down without a fight....

Let us know what help you might need....

Wow thats fantastic feel free to add me guys and i have the promise i made to my son he asked me to quit so im determind not to let him down. i think best thing we can do is motivate eachother and stick together the one bit im finding hard is everyone else around me smokes but its now got to the point where i now think they smell like stale ashtrays i never realised how much it smells before 😕

[EdsonFitbit]

Very motivating nickname @no-more-smoke!  The first time I tried to leave it, I couldn't. It was after the third time that I had success. Great that you have decided to don't do it anymore because the promise you made to your son. Good luck with your challenge! 

[no-more-smoke]

Yea its definately a struggle to quit ive tried countless times in the past but never has my son asked me to quit before. ive always taught him that its bad for you then he ends up asking why i do it when its really bad all i could say was because mummys an idiot, but now ive quit much to my relief he now says that hes never going to smoke.

[no-more-smoke]

And a massive congratulations on quitting thats fantastic news XD

Congrats to you quitting smoking was the best thing I've ever done 🙂 I'm almost at a year now and if you just make sure your very aware of what you eat/snack on while doing this you can manage to do it without gaining weight and actually lost some. Some tricks that helped me 🙂 want a smoke .. go for a short walk and walk fast helps with the frustration of wanting a smoke. Really need a smoke ... brush your teeth with a very minty toothbrush. And I got some sugar free suckers so to not add to many calories.

[no-more-smoke]

thankyou for awesome tips will deffo try them out and a whole year is a massive achievement congrats XD feel free to add me the more the merrier 

[MongolChris]

Are you guys still doing this? My brother and I, both still smoking and both recently bought fit bits are going to try to give up...it'd be great to have your guys support!

@MongolChrisThis was posted over a year ago. Might want to start a new thread

I am not sure if this post is new, so if not I apologize. I have smoked for 17 years or so, I’m 32 now. I began Chantix six days ago and it’s been incredibly helpful! I am down to 1 cigarette a day! My running has improved, I don’t get as winded easily, etc. I am irritable but that is probably due to the lack of nicotine in my body. I plan on no cigarettes at all tomorrow. Also, my resting heart rate dropped almost 8 beats per minute and this was just the first week so I’m excited for the future! You can do this! And it’s really cool that you can use Fitbit to see EXACTLY how smoking impacts things like heart rate! Best wishes! PS, just noticed many of these replies are from 3+ years ago so I do hope you were able to quit.. but if not, don’t give up and I would recommend Chantix 100%

I've been smoke free for 3+ years now 🙂
