Maybe 15-20? I know in the course of 3 years with my ex, I was up 50 pounds. And I know that in less than 2 months, I gained 14 pounds (while trying to actually LOSE weight!)

30 when I quit smoking.

I gained about 50 pounds in a 6-7 month timeframe in 2008. Divorce can do that to ya!

Probably about 50-60 when I quit smoking

I lost 90 pounds in 1999- got a divorce, got pregnant AGAIN and gained about 25. I then moved and yo yo dieted, gaining about 35-my ex husband died (early this year)Devastating our children and I (we were always the best of friends) and I gained about 40-I sabotage my efforts daily to lose weight.....feel like an obsessive dieter with no success, a food hoarder of sorts-

all the "quit smoking" posts are scary, as ive been considering trying to quit!

i feel like i gained weight FASTER after i lost a bunch.. but maybe it just seemed that way since i had finally gotten to goal and then it all started coming back

I am ashamed to admit that I gained 30lbs this year already and the dang year is not even finished... However I have taken back control of my eating and exercising so hopefully it will stay at 30lbs.

I gained 70 pounds in under a year when I was younger and in 8th grade, going from 170 to 240. I remember it because I went from chubby to obese and the weight never did come off.

[IsabellaOlivia]

I already regained 16 this year between may and August...

No exercise and never having an idea of what constitues a portion size will do that.

[kellost]

Almost 50 in 2 years. Although since May, I feel I've been packing it on quite rapidly, and I don't know why. Well, overeating. But I don't know why it seems to have happened so fast over the summer.

[susiefleshner]

I've gained 32 pounds in on year *sighs*

[Elladorine]

I gained 100 pounds between 2002-2003. I kid you not. Which was on top of already being 100 pounds overweight! I'd found myself in an abusive relationship, and eating was more than just trying to escape or distract myself, the ex constantly threw fits if I didn't join in on his pigging out. It was easier to cave in than get involved in yet another fight.

Never again.

[Smiling_Sara]

Well, I caught it at 21 pounds. Would of been a year if I waited till Thanksgiving. And by then who knows what the number would of been.

[Pink Hurricane]

47 lbs from July 2011-July 2012

I basically gained 30 of it from July 2011- December 2011, maintained around 205-215 then put on the last bit from March 2012-July 2012, putting me at 231.
