    Do you mean your having troubles with shifting the extra weight ? I'm afraid people i know have had similar problems, they say they where slimmer when smoking, but i think i would rather be a stone overweight than stinking of fags and having a nasty habit.

    Well done on giving up, you shoudl be really proud of yourself.

    Unfortunately yes, When you quit smoking your metabolism often slows down ( because nicotine sped it up all those years ) Not to mention a lot people eat a little more to substitute their hand-to-mouth desies.... The only thing I can say is if you build more muscle and excersize more you will slowly bring your metabolism back up...But don't go back to smoking ( bear in mind the hell you went via )

    Well done that is some achievement. Why dont you just try doing a little bit more exercise every day, nothing to extreme but say 15 small walk or take stairs instead of lift. that kind of thing. by increasing the time you're mobile you will increase your metabloic rate and burn off more calories. A stone is nothing compared to what some people put on.



    if you could why not join an exercise class? i do body pump and bums, tums and thighs and it's mixed ages/sizes.The local council ones are wonderful as you obtain to meet people in the community.

    i also smoked for the same amount of years and it was in the first year of 2 years ago that i put on 1stone! your body has to adjust, I'm back to what i used to weigh now. and i shed that stone. go to the gym and try to eat correctly you will observe a slow but certainly difference.
