Hello everyone!

I think that the 'about me' on my profile is visible to everyone? If not, general gist:
Weight loss struggle over the course of 6 years, prior to that been heavy entire teen and adult life.
Had previous success with weight loss, calorie counting and lifting is my strategy.
Down and out with physical injuries for a while, then un-diagnosed depression (now diagnosed & being managed), academic and financial stress, and most recently inability to use a kitchen to cook.

So, I want to get a handle on this weight gain and lose 60lbs. Not sure what is reasonable for time for that, but it'd be nice if folks with similar goals (bonus if you're in grad school or something with similar demands so we can relate).

Also looking for other lifters of any level!

    I stumbled across this today- I'm pretty much in the same boat. If you figure 2 lbs/weeks, then you're looking at 30 weeks, or around 6 months. It'll take a lot of dedication! Good luck.
