Hi Edi,

I can't offer any solutions to your problem, but I can relate. I quit smoking last May and I've gained 10 lbs since then. It's really frustrating, because I'm not eating any differently than when I was smoking. I've heard that your metabolizm slows down after quitting smoking, but it eventually picks up again. So how long does it take? I'm waiting....waiting....waaaiiitting!! If I start exercising, will that help? GRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know, you're not alone, Edi.

(And I'd sure like to hear from any long time (smoke) quitters who've kept the weight off.)
