Hello, I quit smoking using the Nicoderm patch on November 15th.
So far I have "kept the quit". I did gain approx. 10 lbs., but I always do gain 10 lbs. for the winter.

This is the way I looked at it. I had smoked for almost 30 years, and had gotten fat while smoking. So, the theory that you are going to gain lots of weight when quitting smoking is wrong as far as I am concerned.

I used lifesavers to get through my "wanting" times. That was after I quit using the patch. It has now been 4 1/2 months since I quit and now it is time to get this weight off, and I have decided to go the LC way. I tried the counting calories for the month of January. Did 1500 a day. No dice, no loss of even 1/2 lb. So, then I tried Herbalife for a month, lost 5 lbs., then gained it all back the 4th week, so now starting in April I am changing my eating habits for the last time. I plan on Dr. Atkins & myself having a very long lasting relationship.
