Can you beleive I've gained ten pounds since I quit smoking on Oct. 23, 2012? Soon I'll be the size of...

Me?

Alfalfa sprouts, radishes, celery, berries, nuts ( no salted, sugar in a can grocery store treats ), fresh nuts from the produce section... and no more than a handful.

You should have trouble gaining weight!!

Btw, congrats on the iQuit, keep it up!!

No, B***

I really haven't been eating any more than usual though. Even when the cravings hit. And it's going to deep mass.

I gave up smoking 15 years ago. For the first few days I had the most godawful headache which turned out to be my body craving sugar, I don't know why. 

Congrats Craig!

For the first time in my life, unlike my previous attempts, I did gain weight when I quit the last time. Though I did indulge in "less healthy" food for a while after I quit, even after resuming my healthier diet, the extra lbs don't seem to vanish as I would have expected. Which I guess is only normal - I'm not getting younger and my metabolism was bound to slow down eventually. 

Incidentally, if I'm not mistaken, nicotine does accelerate your metabolism, so even if you're not eating much more than you used to, it's possible that your system is just enjoying a break from the madness.

I'm at 180, which is the heaviest I've in my life - actually what I used to weight when I was 16 and eating and drinking like a pig. At 6'3", 180 may not seem like much, but I definitely feel it.

Fortunately, now that weather allows it and that we finally have a real schedule, I can pick up training again.

Have you tried the new Holiday Pie from McDonalds yet? .79 cents. ;-)

Congrats, Craig.  Keep it up.

I stubbornly refused to lose weight, even while eating healthily and working out 5/6 times a week, until I gave up bread and started interval training. The pounds just slid off me. I lost 10lbs in a month.
