Women's health and vaping

[Rexa]

How about weight? I've seen some posts "outside" regarding weight...some say they've lost, some say they've gained and some say no change. From a purely female perspective, how is the weight going?

I gained almost 10 pounds within 5 days after turning to e-cigs. No joke. I signed up for the gym a couple of days ago as a result. It came at a really bad time because I was getting withdrawels so I turned to food then I was in my pre-menstrual phase where I get munchy attacks anyway, so i was a mess. I like the gym though. I sit on a treadmill for 45 minutes sometimes running but most of the time power-walking off my stress.

I think for those who lost weight, they're probably vaping all day long but for my body, I don't feel the craving to vape all the time but yet I still constantly want something in my mouth so I turned to food.

Women also have to work twice as hard than males to burn off fat or weight this may attribute also to women having more of a tendency to gain it versus guys if they are not burning off enough of what's being eaten daily.

I cheated and watched the Biggest Loser, probably where I got some of this info!

I'm Zero Carb, too. Amazing the difference in how you feel, isn't it?

Me too And yes, it is! Though since starting the e-cig, I'm bloated and my weight has jumped up which, as you know, does not happen on ZC. So something is up. Hopefully it's temporary.

I too have gained weight, am bloated and face breaks out. BUT I will not go back to analogs. I do enjoy vaping but am vaping more than I smoked. lol. With smoking analogs, I would get tired of the taste (I was a heavy smoker) With vaping, when I get tired of a taste, I just switch flavors. lol. Other than the above mentioned, I do feel better and can breath alot better. Have to lose the weight or go buy new clothes. lol

Weight is like water, it will find it's own level..then you can ajust it! I lose 3 pounds and gain back two..it's a hard row to hoe, but we'll get there!
