I am a 27 year old mother of two. I had my last child in April of 2010. I have lost all of the weight that I gained while pregnant but still need to lose the weight that I gained when I quit smoking last year. I was 145 pounds before and hope to be able to get there again, although I am finding it more challenging this time. I am also still breastfeeding so I have to be careful about how I reduce calories, as well as being careful to not exercise too much. My husband recently lost about thirty pounds and while I find it inspiring I don't necessarily feel as though I can lose the weight the same way he did. He is very encouraging and will be one of my biggest supporters.
