The body reaches a new weight set point at any stage of growth—pregnancy, infancy and adolescence.

The more weight you gain, the higher your set point—the harder it will be to maintain a healthful weight once you’re ready to make a change.  

 

You don’t need extra challenges in life. The time is now.
