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

juliastl: now, you know we'll be here to help you quit smoking and lose weight at the same time. Go for it! :)

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.

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.

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.

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

I gained 100 pounds between 2002-2003. I kid you not. Which was on top of already being 100 pounds overweight! :o 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.

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.

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.
