your story sounds like mine except I haven't had any babies yet. I not only ate low fat or smaller meals & felt the same but I'd work out for 2 hours 5 days a week and all it got me was bigger & heavier. I couldn't lose any weight until I tried Atkins, which I thought I never do a while back. But now I've reached my goal first time in the past 10 years, I can honestly say that I am happy at my weight.
Keep it up you are almost there.
