Hi Free....I don't usually come to this part of the site...I'm saving it for later. I haven't found that I eat alot more since quitting (although I'm afraid I may go into a sugar-induced coma with the amount of sour candies I suck on) However, I have started going to the gym WAY more since quitting and I come back ravenous! Sooooo...you may find that your appetite increases the more you work out. If not, I'm sure that your Personal Trainer can recommend a high protein, healthy diet which will prevent more weight loss. Congrats on 10 successful days!

Great point Missy!! I remember reading that if we have thyroid disease, we must have it rechecked to see if our dosages need to be adjusted. I must admit my thyroid actually improved for the better!

I have been reading on here alot about the weight gain and the different diets people have been using. I was setting myself up to use some of the different ideas and diets people use to not gain weight. After 10 days, and not doing anything different, I have lost a couple of pounds. I am finding out that when I do eat, for some reason I feel pretty full, but eating less at each meal and not snacking as much as when I used to smoke. Even my wife asked me last night if I lost weight. The scary part is, I am starting starting at the gym on Saturday, which was part of my plan to start approx. two weeks after my quit date and I am right on schedule. At this point I really don't need to lose anymore weight so I am looking into getting a personal trainer to get me started on a good routine to tone and gain muscle. I know everyones quit is different, but has anyone else gone through this.

Hi freebird, When we stop smoking, our bodies go through a lot of metabolic changes for a while. You may gain a little weight when you start working out due to increased muscle mass...but it turn, muscle burns more calories, so if your metabolism slows due to your quit, this should balance it out. Your diet can also be altered for weight maintenance so if you begin to lose or gain more than you want, then a nutritionist or bariatrician might be a nice compliment to having a trainer. Enjoy your new, smoke-free and healthy lifestyle. Keep us posted on how you're doing. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/2/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 609 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 12,190 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2174.13 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 64 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 51 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

Free Thanks for sharing and know that you are not the only one. Exercise is good for you and you should introduce it into your lifestyle. Check with your doctor before starting any exercise. Everyone has a different body type and metabolism, but you are on the right track with your quit and you lifestyle change :) Good for you! Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
