Hi Everyone,

My name is Rhonda and I am 32 and a mother of 3. I have a daughter 11, a son 4, and another daughter 7mths. I am 5 feet 2 inches and I weigh 217. (can't believe I just admitted that)Anyways I am so tired of being overweight, it has started to cause physical health problems. I have problems with my SI joints and now since having my youngest I know have alot of pain in my right hip. My main reason for seriously trying to loose this weight it for myself, to see if this pain will go away along with the weight. I have choosen walking as my exercise because it is the least painful. I would love to do areobics but I've tried and I'm just not cordinated enough.
I have a boyfriend of 9 years who tells me he loves me no matter what I look like but if this is what will make me happier then he totally supports me. Not many men out there like that. When I started dating him my oldest daughter was 2 and I had been on the Phen-Phen diet and had lost 75 pounds. So I was 135pnds but then while going through a very nasty divorce i put it all back on and then some. Five years went by and I got pregnant with our son, weight stayed on. Another 4 years went by and again pregnant. ( for the last time) So here I am, done having children and tired of being fat.
I live in massachusetts so if there is anybody out there from mass please feel free to contact me, not sure if i can post my email. Good luck to everyone.
