I'm needing a little help and advice. I'm a 27 year old mom of 2 ages 4 and 2. I gained 80 lbs during the process. Then I gained another 31lbs during the quitting smoking deal. I quit 9 months ago and have only managed to loose a mere 9 lbs. I am a weight watchers member, but doesn't seem to work too well for me. I am also an employee of Good Life and work out 5 days a week. I don't do much on the weights side, more like 1-2hours of cardio a day. I do the bodypump class at least once a week, sometimes twice. This is a class that includes pretty heavy weight as well as cardio. I'm wanting to loose more weight quicker. I still have at least 50lbs to go. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One to two hours of cardio a day? That's a lot.....too much. You are burning more muscle and hoarding fat.
You really need to add some light resistance training, the added muscle will increase you metabolism.
Also, what are you eating? Are you eating enough? Lack of nutrients is also another factor in losing the weight loss battle.

Perhaps your wife should use a different name. Duh?

I agree, or at least state who's posting if using the same user name.
