Trying again!

Hello, my name is Ashley and I'm trying to undo 5 years of a bad college lifestyle. Most of my college years, I was working full time, going to school full time, and had little time to eat well and exercise. Among those things, i picked up smoking, fairly frequent drinking, and some other bad habits I won't mention here. After meeting my now husband, I dropped many of these bad habits, but the weight I put on and the smoking remain. I hope to quite smoking within the next couple of years in order to prepare for a family, and losing weight will be part of that preparation. About 3 months ago I changed my diet and managed to lose a couple of pounds, but gained it quickly back after my final year of school started three weeks ago. So, I'm trying again and excited to be here!
