Has anyone made any healthy resolutions this year? I have decided to get out and do more walking as I can't stand the gym. I find brisk walking a lot more enjoyable and it really does work for toning up etc!! I will also be eating more healthily too so if anyone knows any good healthy recipes please put them up in the recipe section ;D

I hate any kind of excercise. I start off with good intentions but I get bored very quickly. One of our members is a personal trainer so she's invaluable but I don't think she can give me an excercise program that doesn't include excercise ;D

pobresita i wonder if the others will think it weird to have me here I don't think its weird Slip, with kids like mine you'd have to be pretty extreme for me to consider you weird No resolutions (oh I have decided to give up white water rafting and free fall parachuting ) I am going to try to give up smoking again. I bought Paul Mckenna's book with free hypnosis CD in it today, but I'm going to leave it a couple of weeks before I try it - after I get my draft dissertation back!! I'm not into exercise either Dee - I get accused of walking up the path to my car being my only exercise My youngest Emily, applied for the London Marathon this year, I foolishly said if she did it this year I would join her next year - luckily she didn't get a place (phew!!! )

I don't think there are many people that do like exercising, I don't know how Caz does it for a living I gave up smoking 2 years ago Kim with Nicorette chewing gum, my New Years resolution is to give up the gum, they don't tell you, you can become addicted to that!!! Its not cheap either!!!

I've stopped twice on the gum, but never managed to stop both the smoking and the gum I tried weaning myself off with normal chewing gum, with the result I ended up back smoking and still cannot quit the normal gum. I look like a middle aged yob constantly chewing I also managed to stop for three years on Zyban - a tablet from the doctor, that was really good, but apparently dangerous. I stupidly went back to smoking a couple of years ago

LOL, I'm the same with the gum!! I've always got one on the go! I chew it in the same way I would have a cigarette, after meals etc. Have you tried the patches?

I used to smoke socially, and my hubby still does, but he wants to quit and I got him "Allen Carr's Easy way to stop Smoking" book and he's nearly finished it, and the good thing about it for him is you don't stop smoking until you have finished the book. It's supposed to be the best method of giving up, and has a really high success rate. Allen Carr who wrote it though used to smoke 100 cigs a day and gave up 23 years ago, and got terminal lung cancer last year and just died in Nov 2006 as well.

I didn't get on with the patches, I smoked with them on The gum seems to replace the physical act of putting a cigarette in your mouth, that's why I think it works better. I read Alan Carr's book years ago, but carried on smoking Two of the daughter's boyfriends packed up New Year, so I'm waiting to see how they get on.
