Hi, my name is Rhonda and I was wondering if I can join your board. I am a SAHM of an 8 yo daughter and a 5 yo and 7 month old sons. I have always been heavy but about 5 years ago, lost 65 pounds. Through some changes in my life that were very unexpected, I ended up saying hello to the pounds once again and find myself with even more to lose now. I would really love to be a part of your board and share support and encouragement with all of you.

Hey Rhonda,

Welcome, I am new here also. Started the Atkins diet on Monday (keep me in your thoughts LOL) I have a long way to go also, about 120 pounds. I too had lost 68 pounds about 4 years ago, but due to emotional eating I also gained it back. I eat when I am happy, sad, excited etc..... I also quit smoking in January of 04 so there are a few pounds in there from that too. Nice to see you here and good luck. We just have to make up our minds and say this is it. I can do this.

Welcome to you too. :) I know exactly what you mean about the emotional eating. I eat for any reason except hunger it seems. I really need to work hard to get a handle on that. My biggest is eating from boredom so I am trying to do 10 reps of any exercise before I grab something to eat to "rev" myself up. It seems to be helping for now. Your right, we can do this. The past is the past and the future is ours to shape. Nice to meet you and looking forward to lots of celebrations together.
