Needing Help

[MelMel]

I am 23 working mom and a student. I have very little time.
recently I have started gaining weight rather quickly and I am rather worried.
I weighed in on my birthday nov.24 5 ft 1 @ my weight was 117 now Iam almost one 140 That was my wieght 3 yrs ago at nine monthe pregnant. From what i can tell Iam not eating alot although i really could quit drinking soda 2 cans daily not good for me I know. I need some guidance on how to get back to the way i was and how to keep this from hapening again. Iam not wanting to be tiny just average before it gets out of control obesity runs in my family.

Have you checked with your doctor to be sure there's not a medical condition you're not currently aware of? Past that, you might want to consider posting a journal in the Women's Health Diary section - with your goals, diet, and exercise plans, and you'll undoubtedly get advice and suggestions.

In general though, you want to have a diet of whole, natural foods, combined with a training program that includes cardiovascular training as well as resistance/strength training. Both of these together will help you reach your desired goals.
