okay, so whilst I am VERY HAPPY to be 71 days smoke free - I am not happy at all to have gained back half the weight I lost over the last 6 months!!!

I am not eating any more than I was before, my carb count is basically the same as it always has been, and yet up and up the scales go.

so the only thing it can be is the slow down of my metabolism due to quitting?? Help!!!!

does anyone have any handy hints, or words of advice??? pleeease..........
