Hello from Missouri

[labmum2]

Hello everyone,

My name is Dana. I'm 38 and have been happily married for almost 11 years. We have a blended family with three daughters, 18, 18 and 8. After being a stay-at-home mom for the past 11 years and with two children heading off to college, it's time for me to do something for myself. It's definitely time to lose weight and feel healthier (the next thing will be quitting smoking.) I'm working again too! I'm a lowly nurse assistant but I have always wanted to be a nurse and I've been thinking about returning to school. My age is the only thing holding me back....but, I'm working on that!

I'm excited to face my new journey and am happy to meet all of you!

Welcome to the board, Dana!

It's nice that you are finally getting the chance to do what you love. Just don't let you age hold you back because 38 isn't too old to start a new career. I know lots of people who have done it!

Have you started induction yet? Do you have the book? Let us know a little more about you, height, weight, etc.
