Hitting the wall

Connie i give the cigs up on the 1st of July and was on the patches up until bout 3 weeks ago, i joined here 3 weeks ago as well and on my first week i lost 8lbs but on the second week i didnt lose at all but to be fair i wasnt well that week hadda bug or somethin and i didnt exercise or count any cals!!.. this week i hope i lose somethin as ive been really good apart from 1 day, i did put on about 2 stone wen i give up and i feel like it is a bit harder to lose !!!.... add me if u want id like to see how u get on and see if we can beat this slow metabolism due to nicotine withdrawal ...lol
