Hi everyone, I’m a 48 year old office worker looking to lose 40 lb. I was well on my way to reaching my goal the first time then decided it was time to quit smoking. I put back on all the weight I lost. Good news....haven’t smoked for three months ☺️. Looking for motivational friends so add me if you like!!

    Hi! I will add you. I am 41 and have 45 lbs to lose myself. I can relate to the up and down, this is not my first time on MFP, sadly. But- how wonderful that you were able to quit smoking! Congratulations, that's great.

    Thank you!

    And this isn’t even my first account! It did help to get a fresh start without all the false starts of the first account in my history.

    Congrats on your smokeless three months! I quit Jan 26,2012 when I almost died from a blood clot in my heart! You are doing great!

    I'm 47 and at my heaviest, even heavier than the most I weighed with my 3rd pregnancy. I'm back on MFP and need to be accountable to myself! I need more motivation, so please everyone can add me. Congrats on your smoke free days!! I've been smoke free for almost 5 years, so I know the struggle 😊 I will add you. 😊

    Me too girl, me too. I lost 10 pounds last month and feel like I've completely gone off the wagon this month. I can't even bear to weigh myself... UGH we got this though!! Adding you
