I am 25 years old. I live in MN and I sit at a desk all day. I have always been a little overweight, but for most of my life, I was just on the high side of normal. In high school my weight was fine, but during college and since then it has kept going up. I constantly think about losing weight, but I don't always stick to the plans I create for myself. I have had success in the past with Weight Watchers, so sometimes I will try to follow that on my own to get myself on track. I hate to exercise, and I know I should be doing a lit more of it!

I am 33 yrs old and have struggled with my weight all of my life. I am able to lose a great deal of weight but then I usually gain it all back (same old story). I found the love of my life last October and we discovered we share the love of eating out. However, neither of us wants to go to a restaurant to order salad. Anyway,,, I just need to get back on track.

I'm a 23 year old female who owns a web startup. Thus I spend about 16 hours a day in front of a computer, although I try to jog for a half hour a day. I've always been overweight. I've gotten down to a healthy weight several times by following every diet imaginable and excercizing.

|
I'm a 25 year old grad student. I work right now as an administrative assistant. I am now about 25 pound heavier than I would like to be. I think I gained it all with a combination of getting a desk job and meeting my boyfriend and gaining happy weight. I've never had to watch what I eat, so dieting is really hard for me. I've always been an active person up until now, so exercising is not a problem unless i don't have time.
|
well i'm 21 from ny. I'm a [lifelong] vegetarian. I have hashimoto's thyroiditis which means my metabolism is super slow.
I take synthroid and cytomel for that. I also suffer from depression, adhd and a metabolic disorder that I was born with. Yay.
I recently was on the path to anorexia, consuming 900 calories or less a day, and during the last few weeks I've been off of that..but i feel like its important I start that up again, cause I lsot weight while doing that. I went from265-270 to 247 in about a month and a 1/2 or so.
I despise transfat and high fructose corn syrup, that is a major reason I lost weight because I just stopped myself from consuming it.
But over the past week or so i've been drinking a can or 2 of soda a day, probably cause I can't get my hands on iced tea mix [whcih has sugar, not HFCS], but that stops today. I don't want that crap polluting my body. I feel week and sluggish because of it. and i truly do hate it. I prefered keeping myself pure, and so pure I shall. hopefulyl i haven't hurt myself too much in the last 2 weeks or so.

I just got married and was in the best shape for my wedding. However I slacked and lost my muscle because I don't go to the gym.

I've been overweight all my life... I'm an eater. I'm a professional cook as well, which makes it difficult sometimes to watch everything I eat.

I recently took up yoga, though, which I've been enjoying a lot.

He would cook wonder meals and I would eat them at 1:30 in the morning not because I was hungry but because he cooked it.

I'm 30+ and I spend most of my days and nights sitting on my butt. I work from home and tend to not eat all day, which just makes my body store fat. I need to get better at drinking a lot of water and eating regularly. I also need to learn to workout. I hate working out, but its necessary. Finally, my husband and I are wine collectors (over 100 bottles, many of which are aging). It's a significant investment, and joy, for us, and I refuse to cut wine out of my diet.

We support, encourage, and motivate each other.

I am the mother of 2 boys. I try to work-out at the gym 2 to 5 X week. I'm starting to walk 3X week.

In addition to the kids, I work part-time from my home office and outside office. I do a lot of writing from my home office.

Hi. My name is Aleta. I am a 44 y/o K9 Officer in Colorado. I have been struggling with excess weight for the past 10 years. In my 20's I was in tremendous shape. In my 30's I began to gain weight. Now I am at my all time high. I need to lose 50 lbs so that I can be a healthier, more physically fit police officer. In my line of work, being physically fit can save your life! Also, I am into cycling (road biking) and I do 1/2 century 50 mile cancer fundraising rides. I would like to do the 100 mile century rides but need to lose weight so I am more physically fit. Let's help each other out!

I am a 37 yr old single mother of a 7 year old son. I work fulltime and sit most of the day behind a desk. I get bored so I tend to eat. I also smokes so this does not help as sometimes I want a cig and put food in my mouth. So, I need to get this weight off.

I am currently weighing in at 218 lbs (Heavy Weight status) and want to get down to a healthier "fighting weight." I am 33 and travel each week for business; so I live in hotels and eat out every night. I am hoping this log and support will help me reach my goal.

I'm 23 and I was never very athletic when I was younger, but I was also never overly heavy. I'd like to be able to fit back into the jeans that I love, and feel comfortable in a bathing suit again. I've gained 40 pounds since 2003, and I'd like to get back down to 145 pounds. Having a desk job with cupcake-sharing co workers doesn't exactly make it easy to stay thin.

50 year old mom of two daughters- 22 year old recent college grad, and 18 year old college freshman. Married 27 years - Had previously joined WW, reached goal and have since gained most of if back. I see my failure as being caused by not going to meetings - no support. My husband joined, reached goal and has since gained it all back and has no interest in losing it again. Very hard to diet when the house is full of goodies! I need daily support/encouragement. My daughter found this website and thought I would give it a try. I feel I have something to offer as well since I did reach goal at one point -

In 1979 I lost 90 lbs. Then I got married, had children, got a divorce and really didnt pay attention to myself. In Feb of 2007 I just decided I couldn't stand being fat anymore. When I stepped on the scale I was shocked-I knew I was heavy, but I was heavier than I had ever been. I needed to lose as many lbs as I weighed at my goal in 1979 (125). I am only 5'2". From February to May I have lost about 30 lbs and am feeling better each day.

I am 42 and married with 2 grown sons. My mother passed away 11/2/07 and my sis was diagnosed w/terminal cancer 7/08. I have gained almost 20 pounds since 9/07. I have struggled with eating issues (binge/emotional eating/boredom) for years. I lost 21 pounds with Weight Watchers and have kept it off but have struggled for the past 3 years to get the reamining 15-20 pounds off. Bad back issues flared up this year also, making exercise difficult at best.

I'm a divorced mom of 3 children (2 girls ages 14 & 10, and 1 boy age 9 who are with me full-time & hardly ever see their dad), who works full-time for the phone company. I lost 80+ pounds 2 years ago, was dating a guy (single dad of 1 girl) for 2 1/2 yrs. that I love to pieces, and I'm now broken-hearted as we broke up a month ago. I've gained 30 pounds back from stress, and depression. I'm determined to get back to where I was (which was a good, healthy weight, and felt like a million bucks!).

I am a 40 year old mother of three good looking boys (16, 14, 12). I am a very busy person. You can often find me working at a National know Laboratory, and working out at the gym. I have a small business on my own, as a photographer. I enjoy interior decorating, scrapbooking and other creative activities. Many times I have tried to do the "lose the weight thing" and many times I have failed. I either dont lose and get discouraged, or I lose and become involved in other projects and stop working out because I often find excuses as to why I can't work out. I currently work out now and have been doing it faithfully for 3 months.
My encouragement??? My future. To be able to see my grandkids (if I get them) most importantly not to inherit my mothers medical conditions.

I am a self employed attorney. I am in court daily, since I do criminal defense, and I drive a lot - over 40,000 miles a year. My car always seems to be drawn to drive throughs, (and it doesn't help that I never have time to have lunch). Stress seems to be increasing, since I am taking on more and more work, and yet with court delays, I am out of the office from 8:30 a.m. to 5pm, and then work late to catch up.
I'm also in the middle of a divorce and I feel the stress of that quite a bit.

I'm 28 years old and a mother of two. I stay at home and run my husbands painting company. I have lost weight before but always gain in back. I have a hard time staying motivated. I never felt very fat physically before, it was always just about how I looked, but recently I've been feeling fat. My back hurts, my feet hurt and I'm tired a lot. I need to get these pounds off so I can feel my age instead of feeling old and tired.

I have been FAT and I have been FIT and I like fit better :) When I divorced in the year 2000 I was big but not 199 Lbs, just close to it. I walked out of the courthouse and drove to Gold's Gym I was a woman with a mission! I managed to get so fit that I had muscle definition on my arms and legs, I felt wonderful and felt sexy and healthy. Things happened and I allowed myself to get depressed and therefore no energy to go to the gym, ate and drank more without caring to take responsibility and accountability for what I was doing. I am now back with my full woman power and determination to be the person I am meant to be, FIT AND HEALTHY.

I am 5'7" and 20 years old. I am a runner but unfortunately was just diagnosed with shin splints after a bone scan which really hurt being able to run off the end of the school year diet during exams and parties and such. Last summer I ran with my neighbor's dog a lot, Gus, he is this huge labradoodle who is so fun and whenever I go visit seems so upset I am not there to run with him because I can't :-( the only way i know to shed weight seriouysly has been running. Last summer I was on steroids for a rash I had from a dru interaction and gained a bunch of weight. By the end of summer I was running 6 miles a day on average and slimmed down to 135 lbs which I felt confident at. I am working full time in an internship so I sit at a desk but I have been excercising in the companies nice gym everymorning at 6 am before work. I am hoping this helps. I have been doing their spinning class which really works me hard, last week one guy had to quit before the end of class. I also have a horse who I love to ride after work and on weekends. I love going upnorth to my cottage and waterskiing and swimming.

I am a 36 year-old living and working in the Tampa Bay, Florida area. Currently single with no children of my own, but I am very actively involved with my neices (ages 9 and 10). My career (executve in a global company) keeps me busy and requires me to travel quite a bit - which can be a challenge with weight loss.
I have been struggling with my weight since I've been 12 or 13 years old. I lost approx. 70 lbs on Weight Watchers a few years ago, but gained it all back (plus quite a few more pounds). I recently re-committed to the Weight Watchers program to finally lose this weight.

Brainy 38-yr-old who needs to lose about half my body weight. Long history and habits have been keeping me in a state of on-going resistance, with short-term successes followed 2-3 weeks later by quitting and the start of the next cycle.
~ IMPORTANT IDEAS ~
(1) Allow for the possibility that this program / this time can lead to long-term change (despite past evidence to the contrary) -- aim to start totally fresh, with beginner's mind.
(2) We always live up to our expectations, not our desires.
(3) Our expectations are based on past results (which are based on past actions).
(4) The way to break the cycle of future expectations / beliefs coming from past failures is to take LOTS of SMALL positive actions to bolster up fledgling motivation and self-belief.

I was very fit as a teenager, active and could eat whatever I wanted. After I married and had my first child, I realized I had put on 100lbs! (yeah yuck!) I started dieting right away, but 4 months later I was pregnant again. I managed to keep the gain down to about 30lbs but had put on all that i'd lost. After my daughter was born, i managed to lose most of the weight, and we decided to try once more for a boy. (yay its a boy!) once again i had put on about 60lbs. from then til now. 17 years later. I am 39 and about 210lbs. I am 5'10" so can tell myself ( i carry it well) but i dont! I hate mirrors with a passion. I have tried many things over the years, some with some success, some without. I know I have bad habits that I need to break. ( a bottle of wine when i get home from work, is one of those things). So anyway, i'm here to see what this is about. I also am going to a weight watchers meeting this weekend, I'm looking forward to seeing what that is like.
