3 weeks without analogs. Question about Weight Gain

[aland]

Just wondering.. I have been off the analogs for three weeks. I actually lost weight because I got sick after quitting. I am felling a whole lot better now and I am wondering if weight gain will be an issue or because I'm still getting my daily nicotine I won't experience the weight gain.

Please let me know all of your experiences.
Thanks
Alan

For myself - I have lost 10lbs so far - more active I guess, but I have heard some talk of weight gain...

I quit analogs on 10/1/2011. I didn't notice I was gaining weight at first. I noticed first that everything tasted so darn good THEN I became aware I was eating more than I normally ever do. I had to then start being careful about how much I was eating. Just doesn't seem fair. lol

Some people will lose weight, some will gain, and of course others will fluctuate normally around their average. It happens. The nicotine is PART of it, I believe, but for many of us whom have quit in the past and gained weight, it was the missing hand to mouth action (aka the ritual of smoking) that led to increased food intake and therefore weight gain. FOR ME, the PVs satisfy the ritual COMPLETELY so I have actually lost 5 or 6 pounds since I've been vaping (1+ month now!). I also plan to slowly cut down on the nic levels, so it will be interesting to see if lower nic affects my overall satisfaction with PVs and if I put the weight back on.

Stay tuned....lol

I got fatter when I quit analogs last March. But I blame Burger King. Not ecigs... lol

No change here after being completely off analogs for 6 months.

In the about a years since I've been vaping exclusively, I've gained near 10 pounds.

I'm about the same (10 lbs up) but I agree with the poster who said it's just because everything taste so much better! I'm starting to lose it now but didn't blame it on the quitting cigs - I didn't munch because I wanted a smoke.

I wouldn't mind if I started losing weight. One year today, precisely.

Thanks for all your comments. Still on the smoke wagon. With all the money I will potentially save this year (about $4500). I got me a years Gym membership with a personal trainer. That should avert any weight gain.

Good luck with the personal trainer. I know I would benefit from one. Congratulations!

I gained around 7kg, but started vaping 3rd November, and then with the holidays ... Anyway steadly going doing again.

I am not eating more or less then I used to, for me I think it's just the metabolism that works slower no, due to all the crap isn't doesn't have to endure anymore

I have been vaping for about 2 1/2 months, and I saw a bit of a gain at first. However, it could be that I just gained my normal holiday weight. Now, I've started to lose weight because I started working out. It's so much easier to exercise now that breathing isn't that much of a problem. I guess it is a trade-off!

Thanks for all the support

I actually lost when when I switched and I attributed that to a couple of reasons:

1. I feel better and am therefore more active overall.

2. Because my juice dries out my mouth, I drink 5x more water than I used to which aids in weight loss.

3. I used dessert flavored liquid which kept me from craving sweets.

4. I don't tend to snack when I'm vaping and since I can vape pretty much all of the time, I rarely snack between meals.

Everyone is different however...just my experience.

Add me to that club .. about a year / about 10 LBS .. my resistance to tasty cuisine is futile now that my taste buds are back in shape ..

 

[ibobbyvapor]

I am losing weight, however that is due to me being more active. I have been analog free for about 2 months now.

Awesome. Thanks everyone. Been 1 Month for me so far!!!! Pretty much no weight gain or loss
