    100km...and I would walk 100 k's and I would walk 100 more, just to be that Don who walked 1000 k's to watch ol' Eddie ROAR!

    Haha. But you're pretty fit right? How far have you walked before?

    30 mins is bugger all! Need to take some No-Doz (none of that 'other funny stuff') ;)

    Fuck YEAH!!! Day five comin' up :D

    Yeah tell me about it.

    My fitness wont be an issue. In fact this chap said anyone with reasonable fitness would be fine in this. Anyone can walk all day if they have to.

    Said issue are blisters, tiredness, group arguments, blisters, blisters. Gotta change socks and dry out feet every few hours. Swap backpacks around to change posture and chaffing etc.

    We've already got our supplements/food sorta.
    Must wear in a coupla pairs of shoes
    Get used to being on your feet for long periods (I just stand when at the pub for this one) :D
    Already got the fat member of our group starting to get healthy (using fear tactics)

    But Im still scared
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    LMAO:D The fat man??? haahahahaaaaa!!!!!!

    Okay, so....pretty much the chaffing thing can be sorted by NOT wearing your backpacks around your crotch :rolleyes: Or do you get chaff in other places apart from your groinal region??? Could we get a pair of those pants that Ron Burgundy wore? They looked pretty tent-like!

    Yes, this is the reason I tell ppl that the pub is your friend, gets you in training for fitness! The arm movements class as weights dont they?

    And the group arguments? iPod :D

    Hey all,

    Back a few months ago i took a call from a guy (i work as an advisor over the phone for people who want to quit smoking), who was in his 80's. Smoked all his life. about 65 years. Has emphysema. got 1 per cent lung capacity. Has cateracts. Spends his whole days pretty much just sitting smoking cause he can't even stand up without being short of breath. This man has no friends, one lovely neighbour, and only goes out of his house once per week to do the shopping, mostly needing a ventilator when he gets home.
    doctor's gave him 2-5 years to live.

    Heard the other day from a fellow advisor that day he spoke to me on the phone, he quit. He has been succesfully quit cold turky, for two months. After 65 years and at least 50 smokes a day, with all the odds stacked against him. AND I FIND THAT VERY INSPIRING! Hope you find some inspiration in it too

    :) Congrats to all so far! :)

    That is AWESOME!!!! I feel as if you just held one of those seminars on people and smoking!!! This should definitely be an inspiration. If he can do it, so can ANYONE that tries!!!! Thanks for sharing that Stella! :)

    Holy crap people!!! 70 days! Tomorrow is 10 weeks!

    I am feeling pretty good except for the extra weight. WW has been hard! Work has become uber-stressful so that is not helping but I don't even realize I am not smoking anymore :D

    How awesome is that!!!

    How is everyone doing!!

    I have to remember to keep writing to see what everyone is doing :)

    I don't think you are f'ed but believe me when you get stressed or drink that could lead to a lot more. Some people can turn it off or on. And that amazes me I am not one of those.

    If it is that little, why not just find something else that makes you happy instead :)
