Not a bad bit of kit.
Cut down the cigarettes drastically in November 15, Been off the cigarettes since Feb 2016 and reduced nicotine gradually since then, until may 17 when TPD came into force I started using 0nic.
After a family bereavement last year I stop vaping altogether and haven’t looked back.

Only bad thing about the whole experience, I piled on about 10 kilos. But working on getting rid of that now. And I look at other smokers with disgust sometimes but still love the smell of a freshly lit cigarette

Some people need a shock.

Post your entire diet HERE for a week without cheating. If that isn't a motivator, nothing is.

Hit the scales @21stone 10 at my heaviest .Off the Gargle one month not losing much weight though just broke 21 stone .Anyhoo went over to join the Gym what a scam you sign up to pay by the month but they advance you your annual fee then charge you 23% interest on the monthly balance .Ballyfermot Healthcenter if your over 55 you can get a passport and pay just 13 yoyo a month for Gym and Pool .Anyway did a fitness test and the lad stopped it when I was on the walker .He recons im already dead .Got talking to him and was honest I havent walked two miles in over 10 years .I go to work sit down all shift then park in the garden and walk about 10 yards to the door only exercise I get is going for a piss.Took down a deck I had in the Garden and laid some turf ,it nearly killed me I had to sit down just to catch me breath.I wonder how many drivers are honest enough with themselves to realize we are dangerously unfit and need to get exercising .

More important than exercise is what you're eating, cut down on carbs such as bread, biscuits, cereals and eat a lot more healthy fats and oils such as avocado, nuts, and then up the vegetable intake you should notice the weight dropping off within a couple of weeks.

You'll hit the wall if you don't exercise....and walking suits obese people....power walking will become addictive. He'll be walking from Dutch Village to Blanch before long if he sticks it.

That looks good, but if'n your not happy with it, then upgrade rather than going back on the fags.
You can prob get a cheap stolen one second-hand on Ebay !
Best of Luck.  ::cheers

It gets easier John, although I never joined a gym Id cycle up to 150k a week and walk about 30k, it gets easier as you go along so keep it up.

I'm not too sure that all that exercising counts El Tonio, Great that you do 150K per week on the bike mostly in the greater Dooblin area 'On the Sniff', Looking out fer potential fresh Chungwans to abduct, that dosen't count as exercising !
And the 30K walking per week to feed de Chungwan in her pit in the Dooblin mountains dosen't count as exercise either !!

Hit the nail on the head john....
It's hard to keep motivation....
I find this time o year me earnins go down
An I start gettin hint of the downers an anxiety an the exercise can suffer an the diet...... Some blokes are military minded an I have to admire their  steadfastness....
But I'm not one them.  I don't know how Tony does that miles and manages find time cycling walkin that ammount takes discipline ...... The gargle can be tempting but it's grease on a slide....
I'm single parent 3-4 days a week an sometimes that wear yu out.... Don't know how their ma manages.... Sumtimes it rumble in the jungle....

15 minutes is a start..... Know block who was 20 stone an after losin 5 stone in a year but he's out for hours everyday on his bike.... Doc told him he had couple year live.....
Suppose yu have to choose
Get busy livin or gett busy dyin
As andy dufresne said....
Sumtimes something or sumtin  comes along that gives us no choice but to fight and get up wen the bell rings
