I am a 37 yr old mother of 3 (21 yr old daughter, 12 yr old son, and 7 month old son.) I am a shop manager at our local museum. My husband, of 1 1/2 yrs, has been able to loose all of what he calls "his" baby weight somewhat quickly and without exercising. I on the other hand seem to be hanging onto those last 45lbs. With all three of my pregnancies I gain 90 lbs. The first 35 lbs seemed to be gone within one month after having my son, but now 6 month later the scale has not moved. I swim 3 times a week, but have no will power when it comes to breads and sweets. My doctor put me on Atkins around 4 years ago, I went through a divorce and focused on exercising and running and lost 90 lbs and kept it off for almost 3 years. I know it can be done and am hoping that this site helps keep me on track!
