Hi I'm Rhonda.

Hi everybody! I'm Rhonda, and I will be 50 in May (yeah, I said it!). I'm continuing to working hard to get myself where I need to be in so many areas, and my health is near the top of the list. Looking forward to the progress ahead. Hope everyone's doing well today.

    Thank you so much. My story: I started Weight Watchers January 2013 and lost 57 lbs. The goal was 60 and it seemed like I was pushing a boulder uphill to try to lose the final 3. I never did. I was so discouraged I left WW in March 2014. As effective as WW was, I think it hurt me to put that limitation on myself that I would only be happy when I reach my goal. It's been almost 2 years since then, and as of today I have gained back 20 of those lbs. I am looking to lose that 20, and honestly, that this point in my life if I don't reach that 60 lb. goal I don't care. If I do, great. It's more about my peace of mind, a healthy sense of self, and understanding my worth. A program cannot and will not ever define me, that was my lesson. My husband called me sexy before and after the weight loss, so what else matters? So here I am. Now I'm going to do it the myfitnesspal way (no fees) and see what happens. I'm looking forward to it.
