I am 42 and have struggled with being heavy as long as I can remember. I am currently a nursing student and my weight has shown the stress even more. I am not only trying to make a lifestyle change but would like to look hot when I walk across the stage at graduation. I have been successful before with the low-carb diet and I have recently started it again. Coca-Cola is my biggest downfall...I am addicted to it.

UPDATE:I am now 43 and now a Registered Nurse.I did not look hot walking across the stage for my diploma, but that is okay. I am currently 8 days clean from my Coca-Cola habit and also from sugary coffee creamer. It has been a struggle but look forward to the benefits. Still low-carb/keto bound. Attempting to add some cardio into my weekly routine but finding it difficult with working nights and still trying to acclimate to the shift change. Taking it day by day.
