I once heard from a friend that doing anything consistently for 30 days will result in a habit. Does anyone share a similar belief? Has anyone here experienced the conscience forming of a habit?

I have actually heard, which may sound extreme compared to the other answers that mentally and psychologically it takes your mind 6 full weeks to form a habit. Before that it's just kind of a mental thing that you remember to do. After the 6 weeks it's something that just happens without thinking about it.
Do or do not -- There is no try.
Anything worth doing, is worth over-doing.
Body weight - 179 lbs
Current MAX
Bench - 340 lbs
Squat - 435 lbs
Deadlift - 410 (didn't actually max this, but I did it for 2 reps in the middle of my 10 week program, so I will count it)
Current total - 1185 raw @ 180 lbs

There is no set time it takes to form a habit. All actions are different. The time it takes for smoking to become a habit is not the same time it takes to have going to the gym always be a habit. Even when your used to do doing something for an extended period of time its still easy to stop doing it, especially if it requires a lot of effort.
