Do you think you ever get back to weight you were when you smoked?

HI, I havent been on in a while. But I am just over 9 month off the dreaded cigs. and love it really do. I know you can never say never and never let your gaurd down but I dont think I could ever go back to smoking again! Anyway I was a really active person and done plenty of high intensity excercise while I was a smoker and weighed in and around 128 pounds.. Since quitting I have gained 10 pounds(I know this is not a huge amount) and also doubled the amount of excercise I do. I go to the gym now 5 times a week for two hours each time and do high intensity cardio and also incliude some weight training and cant seem to shift those 10 pounds other than cutting off my left arm it aint budging. My diet has always been and still is really healty and low in calories. When I snack I have fruit. And I have one treat day a week.. So my question is do you think that this is it, that we never get back to our pre quit weight ???

Thanks for the reply's. I cant do any more than I am doing so I am just not giving myself a hard time at the moment which I did a lot. I am not overweight but I am 10pound heavier than I would like to be. I change my workout every 4 weeks as I know this stops me reaching a halt. I also do a full body workout which Included weight trainging an cardio. I do think maybe some part is that I weight heavier maybe because of gaining muscle but there is definatley some weight there also because some close are a little tighter than they used to be... But like I said before I am so happy to be smoke free that is the main thing. Im sure I will get there eventually but just didnt think 9 months down the road I would be struggling !!
