The title says it all! I'm a medical resident working long hours and my husband is a medical student. We also have a ridiculously awesome 18 month old. I have successfully lost weight pre-baby and kept it off for a couple years but am just totally failing now. Maybe a new level of stress? I would love an accountibilibuddy!

    Same boat here with a toddler and crazy work demands and long hours with 30-40 lbs to go! We should totally help each other keep it up.

    I'll join in here. I only work a 40 hr work week but have 5 children of my own and 2 step kids... my kids are all over the place... one is a competitive gymnast, 1 plays football, another plays hockey... you get the idea. My husband works 12-16+ hr days, 6 days a week... TIME is my biggest obstacle but I'm working on finding a little time to devote to myself. Woke up with enough time for 20 min on the treadmill this morning... might be small but that's 20 min more than I was getting in a few short weeks ago! Feel free to add me as a friend :)
