    I gained 15 lbs and have been quit for a year and a half. I have not been able to lose the weight but didn't really try hard either. It is time for me to get this weight off I was already overweight to begin with.

    I stopped about a month before beginning to workout again. It's very, very hard to stay on track. In that month I gained around 7/8lbs.

    It's seems to max out at 25. That's not bad given all that is gained

    I gained 22-25 pounds but was already 10-15 pounds over where I wanted to be. I have managed to lose almost 10 pounds from cutting down on sugar and then starting the Atkins diet 2 weeks ago.

    I have been quit for a little over a year and I gained 8 lbs. I think that pretty much came on the first 6 months. Because of other health concerns I was pretty aware that I would need to be careful and I was already a few lbs. above where I like to be when I first quit smoking. I would like to lose 15 lbs.
