Hi...I am trying this out because i can't use the this is "baby weight" excuse anymore...my son is now 3. I love snacking and seeing the calorie total go up defiantly should help me not eat as much. I've gained about 50 pounds since before I got pregnant. I am ready to feel good about myself again....so wish me luck.

    My kids were 25, 20 and 17 (4yrs ago) and I was still using the baby fat excuse but I realized that it wasnt gonna fly anymore so I climbed on the wagon and lost some weight using Curves and SouthBeach. Now I have come here and I am doing Richard Simmons "sweatin to the oldies" and its been pretty good!

    Boy, I totally know what you mean. I gained about 50 lbs since my daughter was born two years ago. Like you, I snack a lot . . . especially when you spend a lot time chasing a toddler around the house, there is not always a lot of time for healthy eating. It gets easier as they get older. I wish you the best!

    I used to be like that be able to eat anything and not gain a pound well after so long your body catches up I went from 140 to 220 and never realized that i was getting fat. I just kept eating and eating, I am now 30 years old and diabetic.
