Weight Gain

I've been a non-smoker on Chantix for 13 days and I've had to change my eating habits for the pills. They have to be taken on a full stomach, so I've added an entire meal (breakfast) to my normal routine.

I just had the guts to step on a scale. Guess how much I've gained?

Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Still 125 pounds. The same weight I've been for the last 6 years.

So, if you're reading this and still coming up with excuses for why you won't give Chantix a try, you can cross that little worry off the list.

I think all of the walking and water must help. What a relief! :)

Awesome to hear! I also have had no weight gain from Chantix or quitting smoking. I have added my 20 min/1 mile walk 5+ days/week, and it has been just enough to maintain. I'm still trying to be somewhat careful, but not any more so than before quitting. Such a great thing, isn't it?

Congrats on another smoke-free day!
