> MarsahThanks for that info guys, it's hard to tell if I have actually gained weight specifically from that or quitting smoking and having a child and never loosing weight before I started it, which was when my son was like 4 months. One thing is for sure , that it has helped stablize my moods and I was considering getting off of it to loose weight now that I have decided to really try. It's funny because ever week when I watch "the biggest loser" it motivates me even more and shows me that there are all different types of people that can do it.
Thanks
Jen
