I'm 36 years old and I have 2 daughters ages 1 and 3. I gained weight when I met my husband (started at 135 and was 145 when we married), gained more weight when we got married, gained more weight on fertility drugs (got up to 170), and gained a ton of weight with my first pregnancy. Six weeks after giving birth I weighed 190. After my second birth, I was 185. That's where I started dieting on July 7, 2005. Since then, I've lost 13 lbs. and am currently 172. My goal weight range is 145-150. That seems to be where I look good and fit into reasonably cute clothes. I'm doing cycle classes, kick-boxing, and scultping. I try to go to the gym 4 x's a week, but something always prevents me from going all four times. My diet is so-so. It's hard w/ the kids and the husband - who's really overweight. Glad to be here!
I'm new, too

Welcome to our forum!!! It sounds like you are off to a great start! congratulations on the weight that you have lost so far =)
I know what it's like to struggle with eating healthy with your family. My fiancee will eat anything and usually eats lots of potatoes and fried foods - all of those things that you are not supposed to have. The difference between you and me though is that my guy is skinny as a rail! it's not fair
I would suggest that you do try to cook some healthier food for your family. It will help your kids get off to a great start and build good habits, and it sounds like your hubby could use it too =) Try just sneaking in some extra veggies here and there, or using leaner meat/ more chicken... Good luck!!!
