Did anyone NOT gain..

I know, Wishful thinking right! I weighed myself at the start of my quit, its been 3 weeks and i know i have been snacking more then normal, but i have WAY less of an appetite then normal, i'm only snacking out of sheer boredom! i got on the scale this morning, and i know weight can flux a few pounds daily or even depending on the time of day, so im not to concerned but its telling me i have put on 3 pounds, in 3 weeks.. if this infact is just flux from one day to the next..when should i expect to see a difference, like how far into your quit did you notice real weight gain? just curious.

Hiya can't help on that front because I am 5lbs lighter than when I originally quit back in October, still need to lose weight though

In the beginning though I put on about half a stone in the first few weeks and then it stayed that way for quite a while so it does level off after a couple of months as long as you don't keep eating excessively I have also started cycling again this is definitely helping.

Thanks guys! I was just curious, i know everyone is different for sure.

I want to be more active now that i have quit, but my lungs are not ready for that just yet, 3 weeks is not enough of a quit yet to be running a marathon : ) I dont usually struggle with my weight, im pretty healthy except that i use to smoke, but aside from that, and my love of beer, i am pretty good, so im not to worried, but its always nice to get advice !! to see a few pounds up on the scale is always a sad thing .. i am going to start being mindful of what i snack on! : ) Congrats to you guys, seems you have all done really well in the weight department!

Think it is up to you Jinxy obviously when you do not smoke you snack more and also of course get the taste and smell of food better; so eating becomes a very powerful and essential weapon to use against wanting to smoke again. If you are very disciplined you can keep weight the same or weight gain to a minimum.

I found after perhaps 2 months I noticed I was 5 or 6 pounds heavier and this went on up to nearly 2 stone heavier after a year :eek: but I have successfully removed a stone in the past 2 months

I would say do not worry if you gain weight-quitting cancer sticks is what counts and you really NEED to succeed you can easily get your weight right once you have broken the back of addiction.

"Jinxy" i like it by the way not to sound like a ditz, but whats a stone? im from Canada lol
