    I put on 8kg when i stopped, and then lost 2 of them. I am now a comfortable 70-72kg and happy with my weight for the first time in my adult life. Smoking sucked.

    I need to convert to metric, to have a two digit weight.

    It was broke, so I fixed it.

      The average weight gain associated with giving up smoking is much higher than previously thought, experts have found. People can expect to put on up to 5kg (11lb) within a year of quitting, research published on bmj.com[^] suggests.

      So, smoking is an appetite suppressant and giving up makes you eat more. I really, really, really must think up a totally obvious thing to study and then I'll apply for my grant.

      Obviously the earth is flat, otherwise, things would fall from it. Obviously, nerve cells don't grow back. A very famous neurobiologist proved that many years ago, and counting nerve cells is a hell of a job. Obviously, spinach is high in iron. Everyone knows that. Obviously, condesing a news bite from a general audience publisher to a statement that has nothing to do with the main point of the news bite is an appropriate representation of the value of the underlying study. :grump:

          Since I quite I've gained about 25lbs but was always super skinny but would like to turn it into muscle as opposed to the protrusion around the waist.

            So, if you want to be uber-healthy, you can: -- Spend a fortune on cigarettes to keep your weight down. -- Spend a fortune on high-protein supplements to get your weight up. Or: -- Quit smoking, and save a fortune in getting your weight up. The best course of action seems pretty obvious, to me.

                Is sea water wetter than fresh water? If you throw a Liberal Democrat in a bath, is it the Lib Dem or the water that gets wetter? I can see a lot of research is needed here. :-D

                  Am I the only one who was totally confused by that subject line and tried to work out how it was possible to gain 'thought' after quitting smoking?

                        You could weigh 110lbs for that, which is quite waifish.

                              So why the hell am I hungry all day long? Though to be fair I eat 1.5 - 2 meals a day - one 2 course + desert, depending on if I have something fun to do in the evenings and I forget to eat/too lazy to eat more than fruit/sandwiches.
