    Welcome. Yes, its common to gain weight after kicking the habit. Best thing is to do is stay committed to this change because its more of a lifestyle change than just a diet change. Good luck!

    I quit on Feb. 23rd, and have gained about 6 pounds. And I'm not eating any different. I think it really messed up my metabolism. :noway: :noway: :noway: :grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :explode: :explode: :explode:
