It's been a while since I came on here and disappointed to say that I have gained weight and not lost it. The reason - I gave up smoking. Today will be my 21st day smoke free, so it's early days yet, but I have gained 7lbs in those 21 days which has really depressed me. I knew I would gain weight, but after the last bout of bronchitis, I really had to give up smoking.

I will probably start my new way of eating in the new year, but would be interested to hear how other people who gave up smoking coped with their weight gain.

    Losing and quitting can be tough! But you can do it!
    MFP can help!
    I think this should be my Motto:
    This is the right place.
    Add friends.
    Diery your meals.
    Drink lots of water.
    Cut sugary drinks even the fake ones.
    It's the simplest way to kick start your weight-loss journey.
    Just my two cents.
