I am 26 years old and am getting married on October 9, 2010. I quit smoking a year ago and have gained 30 lbs in the process. I am currently in Nursing School. I want to lose 40 lbs by October to get to where I would like to be weight wise. I have struggled with my weight all of my life and have recently just realized that before I gained this last 30 lbs I wasn't really fat. Just on the heavier side. Now I am having problems with my joints and would like to be more active with my life. I really like this website and it has helped me lose over 5 lbs in just over 2 weeks. Can't wait to finally meet my goal weight!
