How much weight did you gain when you stopped smoking? -
I-ve been off my Marlboro-s for 3 months and I-v packed on 15 pounds. AAAHHHH!!!! Any idea when this weigh gain is going to stop? I use my stationary bike daily (except Sundays) and peddle 3-5 miles per day. My knees are giving out (old tennis injury) and I don-t think they can handle going any further than 5 miles. All support ... advice...suggestions welcome.GUM GUM GUM, hard candy, licorice etc. I gained about 8 pounds because I was still doing weight watchers at the time, but you DEFINITELY have a desire to eat.I kept telling myself -If I had the willpower to quit smoking for the sake of my health, I can make myself quit EATING!- Try to exhibit some willpower over your snacking by making sure you NOTICE when you-re feeling snacky and take control of it.
Good luck, dear!14 pounds. after i noticed the gain I began loosing it by walking alot.you also nee to check your diet. make sure your eating right.Cardio (dancing, swimming laps, etc) will help you, as well as eating right. Weight gain is normal because smoking depresses appetite. Average weight gain is 10 to 20 pounds.
I-ll give you a site I used daily when I quit. You can post to others about your quit weight gain, and ask other questions. It gives 24/7 adivice, tips and support. You can even ask nurses questions. Its really great... check it out (free too).
