Hi freebird,
When we stop smoking, our bodies go through a lot of metabolic changes for a while. You may gain a little weight when you start working out due to increased muscle mass...but it turn, muscle burns more calories, so if your metabolism slows due to your quit, this should balance it out. Your diet can also be altered for weight maintenance so if you begin to lose or gain more than you want, then a nutritionist or bariatrician might be a nice compliment to having a trainer.
Enjoy your new, smoke-free and healthy lifestyle. Keep us posted on how you're doing. :)
