I have 3 children my daughter will be 11 in August and my son turns 10 next month, they are only 9 month's apart and the same age for 3 month's out of the year :eek: lol YES it is possible. I had a baby in June of 2004 and that's when the weight came on. I gained 70 lbs since then and I need to lose them ASAP so I self payed and got my band :clap2: well my husband payed I luv him so much! I have been Married for 12 years.. I was emancipated at age 15 and got married when I was 16.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
