Ok, I'm gonna be all big and fancy and start a new forum challenge, but I need some vict...uh...volunteers.

1st set of volunteers are smokers who want to quit, but aren't the "cold turkey" types.

2nd set are non-smokers who want to help these guys kick the habit!

Here's the deal smokers, for every 5 or 10 pounds we non-smokers loose (it can depend on how much weight you have to loose) you have to give up 1 cigarette per day(more if you're feeling brave!).

To do this we can pair up, though a non-smoker can help out more than one smoker if necessiary.

I hereby volunteer myself as the first non-smoker, and I have a ton of weight to loose so who wants to take my challenge?

Since you created this challenge after reading my blog, I think it is only fitting that you are my partner. I take this challenge gladly and hope you lose a ton of weight!!! Now, go out and get fit girl and help me kick this habit!

Ok Leona, 3 lbs. off of me = 1 cigarette off of you!
Day 1: 207 lbs

I'm Ready!!! Day 1: 20 ciggs a day.

I'll be a non smoker if you get anyone else in on this, this is pretty cool

3 lbs. off of Renee' = 1 cigarette off of Leona!
Day 1: 207 lbs
Day2: 207 lbs

boo, must loose weight! Welcome to the challenge Joy! Hopefully we will get more brave quitters in here and you will be able to pair up!
Renee'

Joy, if you want to be my partner I will be more than happy to pair up with you! I smoke 20 cigs a day, and you obviously don't need to lose 100 or 200 lbs, so how about for every 2 lbs you lose, I will throw away one cigarette out of my pack. So if you lose 4 lbs, I will throw away two... etc... it's easier for me to destroy something I spent money on than to have the temptation of having it in front of me. haha. Get in touch... I definitely want to do this!!
