Its an individual thing Trac, some gain, some lose. I gained 17lbs this quit. Other times I gained more, once I even lost weight. It all seems to depend on each indivual's body and timing. It does level off at about six months or so, I found, and I am now working on the reversal of that trend and have lost about 6lbs (Yippee!)
The common thought here is, do your quit first, get the important and hard stuff out of the way first, dieting isn't that hard, you can always do that later! :)
