dasie - I did the same thing.
Quitting smoking does tend to slow your metobilsm for about 6 months, so if you don't see much on the scale at the meetings in that time, just be patient, and don't think that smoking again will make it all alright!
I was on WW when I quit, and when it got to rough, i quit WW - amd nurtured my quit. I gained A LOT of weight. Now i'm back at WW, and just got my first 10 pound loss ribbon, and my loss is going just as fast as everyone else and my metaolism seems to be just fine.
Point is - If you can manage to stay at WW while you quit - then be VERY grateful if you can maintain for the next few months! You will have done far far better than I! Also - if it happens to go the other direction, don't beat yourself up about it - it's normal and it doesn't last forever!!
