I started trying to loose weight, decided just eating less was boring and took up jogging (more like walking fast to start with). When I found I was struggling to breath I decided to quit smoking. Went cold turkey (over 18 months ago) and still managed to loose 4 stones. I was calorie counting, using a website to enter everything I ate (a real bind to begin with but becomes easier after time), I suspect that the increased awareness of what I was eating stopped me from inadvertently eating that bit extra.

I gave up last week and have been stuffing my mouth with chocolate. To be honest, I could use a little extra weight. Since I started cycling last year I have lost a lot of weight, to the point where many people have said I look quite skinny. It was beginning to annoy me.
I'm sure once all the cravings have gone, the chocs and other treats that are currently replacing the cigs, will pass.

Lucky devil! Keep up the good work 
It would seem you have eaten 49,000 more calories than you needed to stay the same weight. Fantastic effort in giving up the coffin nails.
I do not go with the muscle part, as you would need to build a lot to make much difference and in the mean time you would be shedding fat, and before anyone says muscle weighs more get your figures and let us all know how much more, not much that is for sure.
