I am Kristi, a 36 year old stay at home mother of 3 boys living in Tennessee. I never really had worries about my weight before the age of 35. I always weighed heavy but my clothes fit me well so I was happy.

In January I quit smoking and suddenly the pounds went to my a**!! So, that's what muffin top is. I refuse to buy bigger jeans, I must stay motivated to get back into the old ones. My problem is that I can do really great, follow the program plus exercise religously then have one rainy day and I suddenly would like to eat anything, especially sweet stuff to the point where I feel so bloated and discouraged!

Somehow I can do this. Dig deep and find the determination that is required to really make it all work. Hold myself accountable. Get up and DO SOMETHING!
