Hey everyone, I'm new to this site but not to the weight loss wars. I was a chubby kid growing up and then a lightbulb turned on and once in University I shedded the pounds by counting calories. I ws extremely motivated and once down to a great shape I remained there except when I was pregnant with my sons. Even then I managed to get the pounds off. THEN my hubbie left and I became the BEST emotional eater on the planet. Well life moves on and the extra pounds WILL come off. I have already lost 8 and would like to lose 22 more. Glad I found this site and I look forward to *internet* meeting you.

Welcome Chubette
I'm a newbie too. I joined last yesterday afternoon and now I'm at work doing many things at once plus taking breaks to read around this site. It's great. I've found some very interesting topics. Let's do this!

I just joined today- and apart from the fact I'm male, I can understand what you mean.
About five years ago I was this toned atheletic (looking at least lol), confident and could fit into all my clothes. Now, I dont recognise the guy that stares back in the mirror and im not happy about the effect it has on my health- I have two amazing daughters to think of, and my father died two years ago because of a heart attack (although not weight related).
So here I am and I have promised I will do this to the best of my ability. Good luck to you and the other ladies here!!
