It looks like we have something in common. I also gain a lot of weight with having my two children and it didn't help that I had them 14 months apart.
I have been cutting back on my carbs since Jan 29 and started the atkins diet on Feb 3 and I cheated and started again on the Feb 7 so you are not the only one who has been cheating. Losing 10 bls has help me alot. It makes me know that this works and I don't want to do anything to put me back at the begining again. Being thin is very inviting to me. I have also found the longger I stick with it the less I want all that stuff. So good luck and don't forget to drink that water I think it has helped me alot. You Can Do It.
