im still gaining weight , any advice?Good for you, should be so proud that you quit. Keep up the swimming and walking as these are both good all round exercises. I can suggest the following type of eating, watch your portions and calories and stay off junk food and maybe the weight will come back off:

If you want to eat healthy, try low fat, high protein, low carb diet. Eat meat like chicken, fish and turkey, never fried, either grilled or baked. Eat low fat cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, etc., to help cut the fat out of your diet. When it comes to carbohydrates, avoid potatoes, rice, pasta and anything made with white flour, like cake, bread, cookies, pies, candy or anything with suger. Don-t drink soda with sugar, try tea, coffee, diet soda instead. Do eat salad, green leafy veggies like lettuce, spinace, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, etc., because these are low glycemic veggies. Also try to get fiber in your diet through bran cereal, fruit with the peel, whole wheat bread, etc.

This type of diet is filling and healthy and will produce benefits in the long run.

hope this helps..check below your NORMAL IDEAL WEIGHT and follow all recommendationsDon-t be tempted to go back to the smoking - incredibly well done on giving up! Keep going - you WILL get results. Vary your swim stroke - and speeds - same with the walking and make sure you are actually eating enough!!Hi I gained weight for about six months after giving up then it went back to normal
stay off the chocolate though :)
