I too quit smoking about 7 years ago, and had a heck of a time with it, but I'm OK now. I fortunately joined "Curves" at the same time I quit smoking, and only gained about 8-10 lbs...which has now disappeared by just watching my food intake and walking when I can. Your metabolism will slow down some (that's a trade off for having healthy lungs), but you CAN and WILL loose the weight again. Maybe not all of it, but then you have to change your mind-set a bit and go back as to why you quit in the first place? To be healthier, and breathe better I'm sure... It takes a different amount of time for each individual for their metabolism to go back to their new "normal", but it DOES! Nicotine speeds up the metabolism, but then again, you are no longer a slave to nicotine. You will find a way to lose the extra pounds, and your metabolism will set itself to where you should be at your age, and for the amount of activity that you do, and food you consume. Try not to skip breakfast, it starts your metabolism rolling. Drink water, it also kicks up the metabolism. Eat spicy foods if you like them, and run up and down some stairs in your house as much as you can stand. That's what I do. Don't give up, and DON'T start smoking again...you'll Thank yourself in a few years! Good Luck and e-mail me if you have any questions, Sylvia :) I would just like to congratulate you on even quitting smoking, since it’s very hard to do, so please give yourselves a pat on the back for kicking that addiction.

I did it for about 6 months and almost blacked out one time. I also hear that the old(i dont know what the new difference is now) version can produce kidney stones. Do they allow any carbs now?
