Just lie(cheat) and vote for something.<br />You will know what you voted for and therefor know how many actual votes there really are.

Re: Quit smoking or Lose Weight?

Hey I couldnt vote either <br />Quit smoking for 18 months one time.<br />Didnt do anything special. Just didnt smoke.<br /><br />In the mid 80s inbetween jobs I found myself 25 pounds over weight. <br />As soon as I went back to work it went away...<br /><br />Dont think either would be that easy again..

Re: Quit smoking or Lose Weight?

In the words of my wise brother... "BITE ME"<br /><br /><br />.... back to the topic at hand.<br /><br />My personal experience is it was easier to quit smoking.<br /><br />Quit smoking, it's an all or nothing thing. I know that I can not have ANY, EVER or I will go back to it. So I don't have even a puff, ever.<br /><br />...Eating... You have to eat, but teaching yourself and forcing moderation and good choices is just not that easy. If I could just be a non-eater, I think it would be easier.<br /><br />My $.02

Quitting smoking was easy this time. I got a cold/flu/something. Two doses of antibiotics and didn't smoke the whole time. Felt totally lousy. Last thing I wanted was smoke. But I came out a non-smoker. I will never have a puff. Just like liquor, just can't take the chance. No Mas.<br />Bassy

Re: Quit smoking or Lose Weight?

Quitting cigarettes is very hard, but if you have a couple friends(and you are living in there house temporary) and they all smoke, and do not work, it makes if easier to quit!<br />I had 10 packs of cigs and they were gone in 2-3 days. I did not smoke them all. I figured it was WAAAY cheaper to quit than the pay for them too!<br />Losing weight is way too easy for me. I just do not eat for 3 days(ok, I will eat toast, but that is it). Not to boast, but I can loose 25 lbs in a month. In fact I did it a couple months ago. I just ate very very little food. <br />It's not healthy, I know, but no one here is my mother <br />At least I hope my mom is not here

Re: Quit smoking or Lose Weight?

The smoking thing was cake for me. The day my son was born I hung up a two pack a day habit. Never looked back. <br /><br />The weight thing is tough. My wife is an awesome cook and while most of the time it's only the two of us for dinner, she still cooks for four. I just keep shoveling it in as long as it is sitting there on the table, it just taste so darn good. If she would cut down on the portions I think I could shed a few pounds a lot easier.<br /><br />So there ya have it, I blamed it on the wife

Re: Quit smoking or Lose Weight?

Just thought I'd say that I feel for those who are trying to quit smoking. 13 yrs two packs a day, haven't had one in nine months. As for the weight I always gain around twenty pounds during the winter it seems to start around thanksgiving and continue untell it warms up. The first warm month though it drops off.
