Hello, my name is Jen,
I have struggled with my weight since my son was born 22yrs ago, and I quit smoking cold turkey. I struggled to keep my weight down prior to my pregnancy, but once I had that big gain (70lbs in 10mos) it was a real problem. I have been to my goal weight a few times, but always regain weight after several months or a couple of years.

I have tried TOPS, WW, Atkins (by the book), vegetarian, vegan and raw vegan. Vegan and non vegan approach Atkins are easiest for me to follow, but for satiety, Atkins definitely works best for me.

I'm not at my top weight right now, but I'm getting there; it's only been three yrs since I was at goal weight

I want to lose 40lbs.
