I am 38 and have 3 kids. I had hernia surgery 2.5 years ago due to 3 c-sections. Since having my kids I have put on so much weight. My husband and I are doing this together and we enjoy going to the gym together and we swim in the pool in our backyard. I need to reah my calorie intake but I am unable to. I mean it's not from lack of trying. I eat at least ever 2.5 hours and still havent lost what I was hoping. 17 lbs in 3 weeks. The first week I lost 10 lbs. The second 4 and the 3rd 3. I have much more to go. I am not going to give up without a long hard fight... There is a goal and I hope that I can be there and keep it there. Good Luck to us all and congrats for taking the first step to bettering you and your body.

    You have done fabulous so far!!!
    I was the same. I lost large amounts the first couple weeks but then it calmed down and I had smaller losses going forward, even the odd week with no loss at all. A year and a half I have lost 71 lbs, with another 37 to go.
    I am hoping to be at my goal or really close by Christmas.
    Keep going!!! What you are doing is so absolutely worth it!!!
