About Our Authors
Green Mountain at Fox Run, our healthy weight loss and healthy living retreat for women only, was founded almost four decades ago by Thelma J. Wayler, RD, a woman with a pioneering vision of what it takes for women to reach healthy weights and stay there without obsessing over eating and exercise. Over the years, we’ve worked with thousands of women who have come to understand that living well is more than a number on a scale, and whose lives have improved immeasurably as a result. The title of our blog, A Weight Lifted, reflects the freedom that women say they gain when they let go of the burden of diets and the diet mentality.
We welcome you to A Weight Lifted and hope that you will contribute your questions, thoughts, fears, successes and, yes, failures. This place is meant for you.
You can contact Marsha, Cindy, Darla and Robyn directly at info[at]fitwoman[dot]com.
Marsha Hudnall, MS, RD |

In an effort to solve her own eating and weight struggles, Marsha took overachiever to a new level by obtaining her license as a registered dietitian and then a Master’s in nutrition and communication at Boston University. With pen, paper and computer in hand, Marsha became a published author and corporate consultant for several Fortune 500 food companies. When Marsha isn’t cooking up nutritious gourmet delights for her family, hiking or snowshoeing, she serves as online director for Green Mountain at Fox Run, which she owns along with her husband. Her self-described mission: Help women learn to enjoy eating and living well while achieving and maintaining healthy weights. |
The primary contributors to this blog are professional women who, in one way or another, contribute to the success of the Green Mountain at Fox Run program. Marsha has nationally renowned expertise in the fields of nutrition, behavior and mindfulness for healthy weights; Cindy is a Green Mountain alumnae who speaks candidly and personally about her successes, failures and awareness about women and weight struggles. Robyn is our Nutrition Leader who has personally experienced the eating struggles of so many of the women who come to us, and then there’s Darla, Green Mountain’s psychologist, who lives joyfully and helps the women who come to Green Mountain do similarly.

Cindy turned in her dieting badge long ago. Now she doesn’t even own a scale. The value of getting healthy at any size is something that Cindy strives to share with women every day. Finding that ‘sweet spot’ where activity becomes an intrinsic joy rather than an agonizing ‘have to’ is a place she believes every woman can discover. Learning to eat what you want while respecting your intuitive appetite definitely takes some practice, but is worth every morsel. Cindy loves the outdoors and is an avid walker, hiker and loves to watch and play tennis and serves as the Managing Director for Green Mountain at Fox Run. | ||
Robyn Priebe, RD |

As nutrition leader at Green Mountain, Robyn spends a great deal of time with women who are struggling to change their relationships with food. This subject isn’t foreign to Robyn as she has also fought her own battles with weight, body image and disordered eating. Having worked her way from anorexia to bulimia and now to a place where food is a joy rather than the enemy, Robyn loves helping the many women she meets start their journey towards normalizing their eating and making food only ONE part of their lives. When she’s not at Green Mountain Robyn spends much of her free time working on home renovations, playing with her many pets, cooking, sewing, playing piano, working on stained glass projects, attending concerts, and of course squeezing in time for exercise as well. | ||
Darla Breckenridge |

Darla Breckenridge has found a home for her heart working with the women at Green Mountain. As a psychologist-master. Darla brings her 30 years of teaching and private practice for adults to the women whose lives she touches. She believes that the process of change is in the moment and that when we start waiting for our weight or our boss or our whatever to change, we stop living in the moment and just wait…which many people refer to as stuck. Action and strategies are the outcome of the classes Darla teaches and the blog posts she writes. Sometimes presenting perched on purple roller skates and wearing a green wig, she has the ability to turn serious messages about binge eating, stress management, mindfulness, self-care and cognitive shifts into not so serious “lectures” which participants rarely forget. Darla travels widely and sings loudly. | ||
