Skinnier, fitter and healthy lung tissue - those became my goals. And I never did gain the 5 - 7 lbs. they say you gain - in fact, I continued to lose more weight as I got fitter and healthier. So it was a win-win for me. Go out and make it a win-win for YOU. |
Awesome. I love to hear about someone who quit and didn't gain weight and got fit instead. That is for sure a goal for me. I have put off quitting in fear of gaining weight when in fact it is completly controlable.
