Nice! I did a 5k last weekend, and was feeling grateful that I no longer smoked cigarettes!
hit 11 weeks today....happy dance, was able to walk the Haunted Trail with grandson and family twice last night 2 miles each 
I used to have problems walking 20 yards from car to the grocery store and needed a electric cart to shop.

I quit a little over a week ago and I'm still in the "hacking up weird stuff" stage. Lungs feeling better every day though

Ya, mine feel a lot better too. and its only been a few months. I head that it can be several years before your lungs completely heal up. Especially if you have been smoking for many years. If they keep getting better, I'll love it.
I play basketball every day now with kids 1/2 my age, competing favorable with division I athletes sometime. I feel like a badass. Kicking the smokes has helped a bunch.
Ha, don't look for that to end anytime soon. I'm 4.5 months in and still coughing up lots of phlegm. I smoked 24 years though so it depends on how much stuff is in your lungs. I read that it can take 2 years or so for longtime smokers but I'm hoping it's nowhere near that long for me.
Oh, and wait til' you see what your sense of smell is like at 4.5 months lol I was in the Walgreen's pharmacy drivethru the other day and one car was in front of me. I was in my car with the windows rolled up and smelling smoke. I was like ??? where is that smoke smell coming from? A few seconds later the lady in the car in front of me flicked a cig out her window. I was thinking "wow, I have Spidey senses now"

I've barely coughed at all in the morning since vamping. Add that to my fingers not being yellow and my breath not being smelly, and thats two solid points of justification right there

I was smoking for over 30yrs PAD, but I never got yellow fingers (my dad did tho....he smoked about 2-3 PAD...does yellow fingers have something to do with the amount?)

Sounds good, I can't wait to be able to smell again, though I only smoked a PAD for about 8 years. I'm finding myself having trouble tasting my ejuices currently though and that's a bit discouraging
My lungs are so much better. I no longer use 4 inhalers and a nebulizer to breathe! Halloween is coming up and I'm hoping I can walk around with the g'babies without huffing and puffing!
I hope my lungs feel better soon. 2-1/2 months and no change yet. Sense of smell sure returned quickly. Not necessarily a good thing IMO
Some pretty yucky smells in my world. Food tastes, um don't think that has changed much. Oh but I burp a heck of a lot more healthy sounding. In fact I don't burp, I now BELTCH lol. Maybe that's the beginning of the lung repair.

I used to get it when I let my cigs burn too low, it's stains from the tar.
I quit once in my 20's and did it for 2 years, the coughing back then started about 3 weeks into going cold turkey and lasted for about a month. It's taking a lot longer this time, probably because I'm 20 years older now.
The smell of exhaust is a lot worse

It is nice to be able to take in a deep breath... walk stairs without being winded... and best of all, my breath and clothes no longer stink.
I remember my dad had the yellow fingers thing so I'd made it a point to never let the smoke wrap around my fingers. That didn't keep them from stinking though. It actually galled me to smell them but not enough to quit smoking. Nothing was good enough to make me quit smoking until I got my latest set of PVs. I can't tell everyone how many times I told my doctors that I had no interest in quitting the analogs either as I had resigned myself as a smoker until my death. I may actually live long enough to get my home mortgage paid off!
