newbie

I singed up for this site about a year ago & never followed thru. I'm back as I"m serious about being healthy again. I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago & blamed my weight gain on that. The thing is, I've continued to gain and I'm at the highest weight that I've ever been. I way more now then what I did when I was 9 mo. pregnant. I'm turning 40 this coming summer and I want to enjoy the next 40 or more years at a healthy "me". I've also been dealing with a health problem which leads me to not being my old active self. I haven't exercised or been to the gym since last fall. I tend to be an emotional eater along with eating when I'm bored. I tried the Dunkin diet for about a week then decided there just is't enough food choices to pick from. As of a week ago I've cut way back on my carbohydrates, calories, & fat. I'm hoping by keeping track of my food intake thru this site that it will help me reach my goal. 62 lbs. is what I'm aiming to loose.
