First of all, you have to quit smoking. I think wanting to have another baby is motivation enough to kick that habit to the curb. I was a smoker for years and finally quit for the final time about two years ago.

And I think that wanting to have another baby is also a great motivation to lose weight too. I would just tell yourself every day that every day you're overweight is another day that you don't want to get pregnant at this weight. I know exactly how you feel, I haven't had kids, but when me and my fiance get married and do decide to have kids, I need to be at a healthy weight. And thats motivating to me.

start now! just by posting here is great! just look at your goals and past accomplishments and i think you'll find even more motivation. And take it one day at a time. good luck!

"You don't drown by falling into the water, you drown by staying there" Falling off the wagon is just another part of losing weight. As long as you can pick yourself up and keep going, that is what matters! So shake this off as a learning lesson and continue on your journey. You can do this!
