I, too, have 4 children except I averaged about 5 years in between each delivery. Took me awhile to get over each one Anyway, I only recently gained about 15 lbs over my usual 145 but just couldn't get rid of it. I had begun to believe it was my age and that my metabolism had just slowed down a lot. Thank goodness for low carbing! Once I figured it out I decided there was no reason not to see the scale hit a spot I hadn't been to in 15 years. I have to exercise a lot but the results are worth it. The recipe section in here is a great help too.

11lbs in under 2 weeks is GREAT. Remember you'll probably slow down a bit but you're off to fine start.
