I am on the upside of 6 months as a non smoker in about 2 weeks!  WooHoo!!  On 7/2/10 will be my 6th month anniversary!  Yay!  Hooray!  WooHoo!  Now to all you other Chantix users:  Did anyone gain weight from the Chantix?  I only used the Chantix for 3 1/2 months--that's all--didn't really increase my eating-always did eat 3 squares a day and whatever else I wanted-so once I started quitin-I actually started making better food choices also--ya know--whole grains-high fiber=veggies, beans very litte meat and lean cuts of course.  Dude-still went from a size 4 to a 10,,,ok....maybe an 11/12-whatever, it's just a number...but yeah--I understand that some weight gain is normal and to be expected but GEEZ=this is getting ridiculous or however you spell it=LOL!  BTW:  Had a physical--it's all good...cholosterol, blood sugar and all that jazz-doc says it's all good.....so what you say folks....anyone else gain 30 or more lbs ......or is it just me?

It has been a year and I am thrilled.  I started off with taking Chantix and so glad I did.  To those of you just starting out - I was a die hard pack a day and now haven't had a puff in over a year.  Stick to it, it is so worth it - so freeing and finally I am in control of my life!  Hang in there!!
