Nice to meet you! I'm a 33 yo female in Charlotte NC, married, no kids, one dog, and a career I love.
I quit smoking back in June and have gained 20lbs since then. I didn't worry too much about the weight at first, since the benefits of quitting far outweigh the risks of the weight gain, but now that I feel good and solid with my quit, it's time to work on the weight.
My big goal is just to take of the 20lbs I put on, but ideally I'd like to take off another 10 - 15 after that. Trying to keep it reasonable, and just go for about a pound per week.
