I'm a married 45 year old with a 4 year old son. I'm looking to lose at least 50 pounds, but would like to do 80 actually. After childbirth and quitting smoking I have let myself go and it's time to get my body back! Looking for other women in similar situations to support and hold each other accountable

    41 here. 2 kids. I was less than 10 pounds from goal weight (took 4 years to lose about 85 pounds) and then the bottom fell out for me around the holidays 2 years ago. During that time I also switched jobs (10 hour weekdays to 12 hour weekend nights) and went back to school. In the 2 years, I've since gained 35 back so now I have 45-50lbs to lose again. I said I'd never get back there but here I am....I graduate with my ADN in May and then take my NCLEX to get my RN. I also quit smoking 6 years ago last week (Jan 9th :smile: It would be 11 years on the same date but I fell off the wagon for 6 months)
