Hey people! I am planning on quitting smoking real soon, but I am worried about gaining weight. Any suggestions to help me quit and continue to lose weight? Thank you!

    I'm not sure what route you plan on going as far as quitting but I had amazing success with Zyban. I had tried the patch( three times), cold turkey, and Chantix (twice) in the past with little to no luck. I gained weight with each attempt but actually lost weight with the Zyban. Good luck!!

    been successful (so far..) with the electronic cigarette - just stepped down another level and i'm now at zero nicotine...not sure how its gonna go when I attempt to give up the e-cig, but so far so good....and since I still have something in my hand I haven't had issues yet w/wanting food in my hands instead...we shall see how it goes...I figure even if I gain a few pounds back, its still way way better for my health than smoking.

    I chew gum a lot now. I quit with chantix and didn't gain weight, but I stepped up my running which is the reason I wanted to quit in the first place.
