New and I have a long journey ahead of me
Hello everyone 
My name is Liza. I am a 28 year old wife and mother of four...yep, four. We have 2 boys and 2 girls...ages 8 months, 2, 8 & 10. Before I got pregnant with our first I weighed 168. I felt great and was very happy with myself, very confident and had loads of self esteem. Well, now that I have had a tubal ligation, won't be having anymore children, I really want to lose the weight and feel good about myself again. I'm one of those women who never could lose the 'pregnancy fat' but I've made a promise to myself and my family that I will lose this weight...and get healthy. I now weigh 289.5 (as of this morning). I have lost 5.5 pounds this week doing the Atkins diet. This isn't the first time I've tried the diet. My husband and I did it for 3 months before I got pregnant with our 3rd child and I lost 42 pounds at that time. Unfortunately it all came back..lol
I'm ready to do this and I need lots of support so that's why when I came across this site while searching the net I decided to join. I was reading through posts and it seems great.
So a little more about me...I own my own website (graphics...ie sig tags, blinkies, etc..) and I am the co-owner of a parenting, ttc board. I enjoy singing and I have completed 3 years of college and will finish in 3 semesters after my husband graduates (and looking at those skinny girls on campus makes me sick...lol) My favorite color is turquoise and I'm a Sagittarius. Now I'll stop before I type a novel. I'm glad to be here and look forward to getting to know you all.

! Glad you found us too! And I wish you good luck with doing Atkins and losing your weight. I'm also fighting pregnancy weight as well, but am determined to do it. Take care and see you around!!
