Weight Gain from smoking....

[bugsbunny2000]

Hey all
On behalf of my mum.

She quit smoking 11 weeks ago and has gained over half a stone. She has been doing weightwatchers for the past 4 days and her weight still seems to be increasing which is disheartening.

She thought weight gain was linked to eating more when giving up smoking but obviously not in the past week.

Anyone have any advice or been through this (or going through this?)

Ur mum should wait till Wi day to get a true idea of wether she's loosing weight through dieting or wether she actually is gaining the weight!

I think I heard that when u give up smoking u gain weight not because u r eating more but because smoking kills a vital vitamin ur body needs! That's all I know, and it's only what I heard so I'm not even sure how true it is!!

I hope ur mum manages to get those lbs off, at the end of the day she is better off gaining a few lbs than sticking to the smoking which at the end of the day could kill her!
