    Louise,

    I'm very proud of you. You are the winner !

    The weight gain you can deal with down the road. If you can walk a little every day, you could start a new good habit.

    Try doing as I did, mark your calendar and celebrate your 6 month/annual victory over tobacco.

    Hi Louise99338

    Well done you!!! It is hard, I have done just over a year and yes I put on weight, I will deal with that when I am ready, but it can be done and you have made a really good start. Carry on the good work. x
