Well I gave up smoking four days ago. When I gave up b4 I always seemed to gain weight and feel more hungry. This time I have lost weight and felt less like eating so much! I weighed myself today and found to my astonishment that I have lost 4 pounds....How can this be? I ask my self repeatedly! The first day I gave up, which was last Sunday, I did spring clean the house and stay very active that day. my mind was racing and my body was trying to keep up. I've done nothing much today, but felt considerably tired and unusually lighter!!! I know - doesn't it sound strange? For weeks I have been speed walking on my treadmill and not lost anything...but I give up smoking and I'm four pounds lighter !!!???? Can anyone shed some light on this for me, because I'm baffled?

Congratulations on giving up I too have stopped and started over the years. I'm on them at the moment but hopefully when the time is right ill have another go at giving up. Your weight loss may be a delayed loss from the exercise you have been doing but just keep telling yourself the lack of ciggies are the cause. x
Looks like your new lease of life is one of activity that may explain the lack of weight gain common when giving up nicotene a known appetite inhibitor.
