I had my last cigarette 16 months ago and I fortunatley didn't put weight on. I put on a stone and a half in pregnacy which I lost really quite quickly afterwards. I continued to lose weight and have in total lost 5 stone in 2 years. Its slow progress but I hope that by losing the weight slowly I'll be able to keep it off. Over the festive season I have put on 6lbs but I am back to walking everyday, roughly 5 or 6 miles, and I'm not eating crap.

Best of luck to everyone trying to lose weight. It's important to up your exercise levels as well if you can.

Keep motivated!
