Hey there
Well, the “new look” Saving Lucas site is coming along well! We have a new BMI tracker (which is automatic and uses your height and weight entries to automatically calculate your BMI). We got rid of the Professionals system, and instead made a “Friends” system – you can give your friends access to one or more of your tools, and they can comment on or “like” various entries, a lot like the way facebook works.
Anyway, talking about smoking, I’ve never smoked myself , but my Mum has smoked since she was 14. She’s tried to give up a few times over the years, but found once she stopped smoking she started eating more and piling on the weight.
This year she was put on Zyban (NZ Government subsidised) and since February this year she hasn’t smoked at all! Cold turkey after 51 years… that’s just amazing. Zyban kills the craving for food which was the trick she needed. So if you’re looking to give up, give Zyban a shot or see if your Doctor will prescribe it for you. Zyban is also called Bupropion, Wellbutrin or Amfebutamone.
