Kick *kitten*! That's amazing! I stopped smoking six months ago on July 14th and have not had a single smoke since.
I've also gained, though, lol. I'll add you!

Congrats!!! I quit 157 days ago. I've gained around 9lb but I've attributed it mostly to not sticking to a deficit in my case.0

Good for you for quitting! My only advice is to tackle one beast at a time. Since it's been a decent amount of time since you quit, you can now tackle the weight. Start small, be consistent, keep at it, and you'll see changes.0

That's great! I quit 15 months ago. I was really mindful of what I replaced those habits with, so I managed to avoid the weight gain (in fact, I've lost 68 pounds).0

Thank you so much for the support, yes it's been a while now since I quit and so now I'm ready to kick the weight gain into touch, I can't keep using the excuse ' oh I've gained weight cos I stopped smoking ' lol .. Feeling motivated0

WELL DONE!!! I stopped 6 years ago (apart from the cigar in my profile pic but I was on holiday lol)
I put on four stone so you do need to watch but better than the alternative.
FR sent.
good luck0
