I am a mother of 3. I gained anywhere from 70-85 lbs per pregnancy. I lost weight after all 3 children, but there was 15lbs. per child that I couldn't lose. I am 29 years old and about 45lbs. over what I was before I had my family. I really want to be that size again, not only to be healthy, but because I have osteogenisis imperfecta which is a rare genetic bone disorder. This is very painful especially if I am overweight and if I gain too much then it will be very hard for me to exercise without hurting myself. When it hurts to walk then it is time to do something. Wish me luck =)
