    I quite smoking and restarted my weight loss journey in December. Sometimes its hard, but then I excercise and forget I even want a cigarette.

    I have gained 1 stone since packing up smoking 3 months ago and have just started my diet and excersise to try and start shifting some of this extra weight. I am cycling to/from work 4 days a week now so hopefully with good diet and this excersise the weight will come off. So hard not smoking but glad I quit and this time for good as I do not want the stress of the weight gain to start me smoking again.

    My 6 year quite anny was 1/21. I gained 40 lbs from quitting smoking. Part of my problem was using Tootsie Pops to deal with my hand/mouth habit.

    Today, it has been 1 year I quit smoking, I did put on maybe 15 lbs (which is the reason im on here). But pounds gained or not this was the best decision I have ever made! I feel so much better and healthier! :)

    I am HERE because I quit smoking. I think I gained 20 lbs in about 15 minutes the day I quit.

    I quit smoking the same day I started my diet so I'm hoping it will balance out! I'm trying to get fit and after going on my first jog tonight, I'm hacking my lungs up! Keeping strong though!

    I quit smoking 17 years ago and that started me on my first weight loss journey. You can do it!

    Yes I dd put on some weight when I stopped smoking. I treated myself to food and things to get me through. But hey I haven't had a cigarette for nearly 2 years so it was worth putting on a few kilos. Don't beat yourself up about it.
