4 years ago I quit smoking then two months later I got pregnant. I gained 15 pounds in the 2 months after stopping smoking. The pregnancy added on another 30 pounds. After the birth, I went down to 150. And here I sit 3 years later at 152 pounds. I have decided to loose weight the right way with proper diet and exercise. My goal is 130 to start with and I would love to get back to 115 which is what I was 5 years ago. But at that time I was pretty much just smoking my life away and barely eating, so yeah, that wasn't healthy. I am determined and I am doing this for MYSELF. I have already lost down to 147 and this is my 2nd week on this diet. I am accounting for all my foods/snacks (stay away from sugar free candy-very high in carbs lol)/drinks. This has helped me see where the weight is coming from. I have increased my water intake and drinking the minimum of 8 glasses a day and I feel great. I have improved my flexibility and I don't feel like I want to rest all the time!
