Small Weight Gain

What do I do? I have never really measured my food, but I started smoking again and quit about 2 months ago. Since I quit I have gained 8 pounds. If I start measuring my foods do you think I can lose again? I really hope so! I worry all the time about stretching my pouch out. That is the last thing I want to do, but I do feel hungry more so now than ever! I am down from 344 to 184 as of this morning....I really want to lose 10 pounds more so if anyone has any ideas!!!! I am always open to advice and ideas that is for sure!

Yes, you can lose this 8 lbs, but you're going to have to get back to basics. Measure your food, journal your intake, make SURE to get your water/supplements in, and exercise.

Are you paying attention to home many calories you are eating? Journaling through Sparkpeople.com or fitday.com will really help you to see where you are. Give yourself a week or 10 days to see what kind of pattern there might be, then you can make adjustments from there.

Hope this helps, let us know!

Wow you have done wonderful, 8lbs you can do, try I was down to 163 and back up to 192 all because I quit exercising and got married and been eatin and drinkin with him, guess what back to exercising this week.  I am going to get back down and start saving for plastics!
