That's normal, depending on what kind of image you're saving.
JPG can compress your image filesize very much. (although the higher the compression, the lower the image quality). GIF doesn't have that kind of compression. And thus (depending on what type of image you got) the filesize is higher.
Mind you that this isn't always true. Like said, it highly depends on what kind of image you're saving and on what number of colors it uses, and if there are big spaces in the image with the same color, etc... etc...
Also, again depening on the type of image,
quality itself isn't lost when you convert JPG to GIF; only the colors are reduced. JPG can use +16million colors, while gif only supports 256 colors. If this is what you mean by "loosing quality", then yes, that's normal...
I suggest to read some things about graphic formats, what is what, how-to's, etc... etc... Try a google-search on the net.... Or read the helpfiles that come with many graphics programs (including the one in paint).
Also, it takes some skill (or a decent wizard) to reduce a JPG to a GIF without loosing too much "quality"...
