Hello! I am a 28 year old mother of two boys. I have always had issues with my weight but over the last four years I have quit smoking 3 times (the last time being the final. smoke free for almost a year and a half) However, every time I quit I gained at least fifteen pounds, I'd start smoking again and never lose the weight. Repeat this a few times and all together I gained a total of 30 pounds. I have my ten year reunion in June and I am getting married in September. I know I am beautiful regardless but I am tired of going into a deep depression every time I go clothes shopping.
Over the last month I have changed my diet and bought an elliptical and have been using it faithfully. I am seeing inches lost but only about 8 pounds gone. Any suggestions, on how I can speed my metabolism up. Thanks!
