    Wow I'm really packing on the pounds!

    Waiting to see the doc and get some tests ran but in the meantime I've went strict low carb, low salt and the fluid is coming off slowly. Hopefully that will help with my energy level.

    Wow I'm really packing on the pounds!

    Good to know I have a goiter (sp?) and have suspected thyroid problems for years but the tests always come back normal.

    Wow I'm really packing on the pounds!

    No idea what the problem is. It's probably a combination of things, hot weather, wrong foods.. I'm starting today with watching what I eat more salt, sugar, carb intake and giving that a few days to see if it helps with the retention. Trying distilled water today, I read it could help with...

    Wow I'm really packing on the pounds!

    I'm closer to a 20 lb gain :ohmy: like I said I'm retaining fluid and a good bit. I can see it on my face, feet, ankles and calves. As far as more water, 5 quarts a day seems like more than enough. That's not counting unsweetened tea! How much more would a person be expected to drink or run to...

    Wow I'm really packing on the pounds!

    I drink water by a quart jar I fill it 4-5 times a day :) Unfortunately I haven't found the new energy yet but it could be because I'm gaining weight and it's slowing me down. I think mine is not so much how much I'm eating but more what I'm eating.. time for better choices! No plans to go back...

    Wow I'm really packing on the pounds!

    I could tell I was gaining some but didn't step on the scale until yesterday and almost had a fit! I do think I'm dealing with some retention issues but even counting that it's a good bit of weight. I'm not constantly eating like I did when trying to quit with the patch I've never been a snacker...

    Really need help just nit getting it.

    I have an itaste mvp but not sure if it's a 2. I keep my vv on 6.0 the vw I move from 3.3 to 3.7 most of the time I settle on 3.6. For some reason some days I just can't get the taste right on it and will end up using my vw smoke battery and the taste almost always gets better. The tanks I use...

    Has anybody experienced any side effects from vaping?

    I found this interesting, I'm retaining fluid like crazy I don't even recognize my own feet and ankles! Never thought it could be from vaping. I drink water all day long and am not dehydrated.

    Has anybody experienced any side effects from vaping?

    Yeah!! Quitting smoking :) the only side effect I have so far is kind of gross and involves my nose... my boogers seem to have turned into glue:blush:

    I have to be honest with myself

    I wouldn't consider it struggles per say. I haven't had any cravings except for the first time I tried menthol liquid. Now I can vape menthol with no problem. A smoke would have never come to mind if that pack hadn't showed up. I've been around plenty of smokers since quitting with no issues...

    Welcome, with almost a year of vaping under your belt I'm looking forward to you sharing info with us.

    Do you ask for permission?

    I guess I still don't get the 'stealth vaping'. If a vapor doesn't vape in public because it infringes on a non vapors right of clean air how is stealth vaping any better? Seems kind of like saying, " I won't smoke around non smokers but I'll sneak a few puffs when nobody's looking and if they...

    Why ladies don't wear lanyards.

    I tried one and liked it but it didn't take long to realize that guy you thought was checking out your e-cig hanging from your neck as you strolled by was really being hypnotized by the sight of your e-cig bouncing from boob to boob as you walked. I only use them at home now.

    I have to be honest with myself

    I will always love smoking but as long as I have e-cigs I know I can resist them. This morning while cleaning I saw a cig pack under my kitchen table. I figure my dog, who is always digging things out to chew on found them under the bed or something. I left it sitting there for hours afraid to...

    Helping a Camel Crush smoker get off cigarettes

    I was a Marlboro Nxt smoker and would use Camel Crush in a pinch. Both have the little ball you crush for menthol. I found for me vaping menthol made me crave cigs so I stick with bakery flavors. Sad thing is you can't make someone want to quit. Nothing anyone said or did made me quit until I...

    Worse part of quiting tobacco is getting my sense of smell back.

    Never mind the animals. After 33 years of marriage I just now realize how bad my husband can smell! Now I know where the saying 'old fart' comes from.

    what is the spin on this article

    If the FDA had our best interest at heart they wouldn't approve cigarettes :)

    Who will support the big tobacco co. e-cigs when they flood the market ?

    I don't trust them not to fill e-cigs full of the same chemicals they put in cigs. No I won't be supporting them.

    Will i ever get off nicotine?

    Yesterday was for first day stepping down to 12mg from 18 mg. It was easier than I thought it would be. In fact I vaped less liquid than I have been using and I was relieved that I didn't have bizarre dreams last night that I have been having nightly since I started vaping.

    Gas Station Juice?

    We have no less than 7 gas stations in our small town now selling e-juice and supplies, one even sells Halo :) I've used some when I first started. One gas station sells a blueberry cheese cake and banana pudding that are so good I haven't found any online that come close, so I'll keep buying...
