since 2012 I have gained a solid 20-25 lbs. My habits have only gotten healthier, I quit smoking, activity increase, and a much much much better diet.

While i ve seen my bodies shape get slightly better, legs getting slimmer etc, I continue to gain weight and my stomach seems to be constantly large. even after a healthy breakfast and water and perhaps a salad with lean protein for lunch my stomach is massive
