I quit smoking 2 years ago. Since then I've gained a lot of weight. I'm very happy with my success at not smoking, but now I need to lose around 40 lbs. I just turned 40 and have a new outlook on life, but feel like my weight gain is holding me back. I try to stay positive so thats good. I just want to be the best me I can. I have two daughters and I've been married for 18 years. I put my family before anything including myself. So I want this to be my year so I can continue to be there for my family.
