Actually was looking forward to gaining some weight

Eating like a pig, lots of sweets, junk food, favorite foods, chocolate, pizza, and NO WEIGHT GAIN.

 

No sh*t. I can't figure it out, maybe it's the running, or maybe it is all the stuff I am doing to keep busy, keep mind off smoking cigs.

 

Feel great, no health problems of any kind, and I am at my perfect weight for height and bones.

 

Clearly I should not be worried, BUT at least I'm not an EGG, Bakon, right?

Sarge lost 36 pounds in the first 6 months of his quit without even trying. Go figure. Who knew training for 26.2 would make eating like a pig and weight loss go together, right?

 

> maybe it's the running

 

That's the only thing Sarge attributed his to. Once you go over 30 miles a week, it's damned near impossible to keep weight on. If you make it up to 50 or 60+ miles a week, it's all the damned icecream and donuts you want, and *still* losing 2 or 3 pounds a week. Without trying.

 

Quitting doesn't have to mean weight gain, folks ... and if you're interested in losing (or even maintaining and NOT gaining) weight - MyFitnessPal.com is the place to do it. Sarge set out to lose the rest, and lost him some more for a total of 60 (SIXTY!! YIKES !!!,) pounds there (and got washboard abs, too - BONUS!)

 

You don't have to gain weight as part of quitting if you don't want to, folks.

 

Weight loss is as easy as quitting.

 

Calories in, calories out. A little hunger-discomfort for a while, embrace the suckage for a few months and you're golden.

 

 

 

Easy Peasy

It is as the Sarge says, weight gain is not inevitable, it can be avoided, just don't expect the process to be enjoyable. My body aches all over from the workouts I do each day, but on the positive side, I'm trading one pain in the @ss (smoking) for another pain in the @ss, good health. As they said in "Chicken Run", "pain is good".

Chicken run or duck walk?

30 miles a week driving maybe

 

Replacing one addiction for something they invented cars to avoid....

 

But beer is for weight gain. Ice cream is for kids

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
