That's true, I believe. I have always heard it as twelve pounds. It is

because your metabolism slows down when you stop smoking. But far better to

not smoke and carry ten pounds around then to smoke like a chimney and look

like a beanstalk. YOU LOOK GREAT NORMA!!!!!! I just wish you could feel

good too because you sure do deserve it.

Hang in there Norma! Maybe if you had some sugarfree candies or something to

keep in your mouth.

When I quit smoking, I was always looking for something to do with my hands or

mouth. That's what

helped cause me to gain weight. Good Luck!

Warmly,

Gainesville

Thanks guys I guess I must have slowed down because I have become even

worse at housekeeping. Takes me forever a room cleaned and I am not even

stopping for smoke breaks. Chomping on some cabbage now. I will stop my

whining now and get on with it.

Thanks

I weighed 138 pounds when I quit smoking. It was an alltime high for me at

that point in my life. I weighed 210 lbs. last year when I started this

wol. Believe me, Norma, you did it the right way. Hang in there.

i agree with corky that you have to exercise and that it is a slow process..

but i really think its the only way you can keep the fat off your body our

bodies play all kinds of nasty tricks on us.. if the treadmill was too

hard on your hips you might want to try an incline bike or some weight

lifting... i know running on a treadmill is too much for my old joints if

i do alot of it
