I am a 40 year old mother of 2 boys and a grandmother of 2 girls. I have never been overweight and don't necesarily consider myself overweight now but I am larger than I have ever been and am feeling very self conscious about it. I have never had a problem staying in shape and have always been very active. Since turning 40, I have struggled to maintain my weight. I quit smoking after 20+ years of it, and am now finding myself gaining weight. I am doing this to lose the extra pounds I have put on and to maintain as well as to change my eating habits.
