Congrats Sharon.... Like you, since I have quit smoking, I have also cut back on the coffee....DRASTICALLY !!... Before (no exaggeration) I would drink no less than 36 cups of coffee a day.... Most of the time it was more than that. ( I have a 12 cup Bunn coffee maker and always made at least 3 pots a day, but usually 4).. I was always drinking coffee....now I make a pot in the morning.... My wife drinks a cup or two and sometimes I finish the rest....other times, I may end up dumping out the last couple,cups....
Funny how the "other drugs" (caffeine) effect us without the nicotine...
And....what's a stone weigh??.... Lol....I gained a few pounds when I quit smoking, but I also "retired" from my job, so I wasn't as active.....lately I have been extremely busy and have lost a few pounds....I used to weigh about 175 lbs...after gaining weight, I was around 190 lbs....I'm now back down to 178 lbs....... A few extra pounds actually made me feel better.. I always thought I was too thin when I was younger...I worked too many hours, didn't eat right.....and...yep...smoked to much ( ONE is TOO MUCH!)
Let me know how you like your new machine.... I am going to retire to old Bunn and get something that only makes a cup at a time... It would be more economical for me....the only feed back I have got from anyone is on the Kurig ....
