Members profiles:

I am 16 years old and a Junior at Ozark. I cheer and do crossfit. I used to be a gymnast and played a lot of different sports. Love working out and facing new challenges.

I'm 37 yo, I'm a homehealth aide by profession, I'm a part-time student= few hours in the day for exercise.

Working for media has made it very important to me personally to appear and feel my confident best. I love to be out partying and working, socializing, and feeling n looking my best. Sadly, this hasn't been the case since many years now. I hope this place will help me find the right motivation on a consistent scale.

I am 35 years old. I have two boys ages 9 and 5. I am a reading specialist and am virtually a single mother as my husband works 2nd-3rd shift. I need motivation and accountablility or I'll quit.

I'm a 42-year-old wife, high school teacher, and mom of five- and six-year-old boys. I love much about my life: I feel I am a good spouse and mother. I love teaching and care very much about my students. I believe I am well-liked and respected among my peers. On the flip side, I have struggled with body image most of my adult life, and my weight has been steadily climbing for about the last 15 years, including a real spike the two years when I was pregnant with each of my sons. I have tried diets and accountability programs, but I have not proven to have the endurance and determination for significant and long-lasting results.

I've struggled with weight my whole life and have tried virtually every diet. Binge eating at night has always been my struggle. I finally got control over my weight after graduating college, but I still battle with a 15 lb fluctuation. It's MUCH better than years ago (50 lbs off, 60 lbs on....) but I would love to get back to my goal weight. In addition, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1998 and struggle with pain and fatigue. I can work through the pain, but the fatigue gets to me and prevents me from exercising when I need it the most! I want to lose about 10-15 lbs and be in a routine of healthy eating and exercise.

I turned 58 in October. I am married with no children. I am partially retired and like to travel. I was overweight as a child and grew out of it at the age of 16. Around the age of 32, I started adding a bit of weight each year and have been at my present 240 lbs for around 10 years. I am obese and I am starting to feel discomfort in my ankles and knees. In the past, I have lost 20 lbs. by changing my diet but get bored and gain it back.

The name is Jennifer Mallory call me which ever I don't mind. I am currently aspiring to be a RN. I am silly and spazy yet somewhat brilliant. I'm a sweetheart and always put others before myself, even with people that don't deserve it. I'm a strong, independent person.

33 year old grad student. Beautiful wife and 3 children. Striving to stay healthy enough to play with my kids as they grow up.

I am almost 43 and I am married with two children. I swam competitively for 12 years, played club water polo in college, swam masters and played water polo after college, also ran cross country, track and played on the tennis team...as you can see, I was quite the active athlete. My health really began to take a turn for the worse when I was in graduate school, newly married and not having any friends or family around. I ate horrible and ate things to keep my energy up...pop, cookies etc., was stressed, lonely (lived in the middle of no where with no friends/family and my husband was often gone at work until late) and newly married. I was diagnosed with PCOS, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, fibromyalgia and depression. All that to say, I gained over 100 lbs in the process and feel yucky!!

I'm a former junk food junky and soda pop'n ganster. CrossFit saved me from a life of sugar overload and the road to diabetes...

I work full-time and I am a mother of 3 kids that need me.

Mother of 3, 6 year old and twin 4 year olds. Run a FT home daycare and preschool. Married for 11 years to an awesome and supportive husband who is an equally awesome father, teacher and coach.

I am a single mother to an amazing nine year old boy who is my world. He is autistic and the most amazing gift I could have ever been given.

36, married, 3 kids, 2 weiner dogs

I have a pretty clean diet. Never fried food, never fast food, ever. But I was eating whey (dairy) protein and protein bars until I looked at it one day and it hit me how processed it was. ew.

My name is Lex, im 19 years old. I weigh around 225-230 lbs. I have a passion for music as well as animals. I've been struggling with my weight and trying to lose weight for a long time. I am a confident person, but my weight has been getting to me and it seems like no matter what I do I can't lose weight, it just won't come off. I would really like to lose weight for me although my girlfriend and friends tell me im not. I just want to feel comfortable in my skin.

I am 47 years old I have always been over weight - but over the past 7 years my weight has creeped up nearly 40 pounds

I teach at an ivy league university. I love and work very hard at my job so I often neglect my own needs in favor of the needs of my students. I am also a mother and wife. My two youngest daughters also get lots of my time.

My name is Andrea. I'm a 27 year old nursing asst who works crazy hours. I'm single .. never married. No kids.

34 year old married female and mother to an awesome cat :) I'm a RN in peri-operative nursing the WAMC, Fort Bragg, NC. My job sucks, I miss ER nursing, but I don't miss working weekends, nights and holidays and I make an obscene amount more so I will tough it out for a while. At least until some debts are paid off :)

I am 49 yrs. old I am married have a 13 year old daughter and 2 grown chlildren. I work part time and keep very busy.

I am 37, married with 1 child and would like another but would like my ass size smaller PLEASE

Amazing High-Speed Fat Burning Supplement Produces Extremely Fast Weight-Loss! You can now purchase an all-natural (and extremely fast-acting) weight-loss “miracle” pill that literally destroys fat… even if… you refuse to diet! News of this “killer” fat-fighting pill is creating a virtual flood of letters to the small company that developed it. It is very powerful for the almost effortless removal of stubborn, bulging fatty deposits. In fact it’s so powerful that, depending on how much you’re overweight, it allows you to lose up to 20 pounds of fat, flab and fluids in two weeks, and amazing as it may seem, you can lose this awesome amount of weight! Forces Calories To Leave Your Body! Even though this product is extremely bio-active, it contains no drugs whatsoever. There are seven highly unusual (and extremely hard-to-find) ingredients combined in such a certain, scientific way… that… scientists call it “synergistic”! This means each ingredient is much more powerful because of thermogenic interaction with all the other ingredients. With clinically-controlled, scientific testing, the researchers who created this formula produced a weight-loss compound so effective… that… human body fat is almost immediately destroyed and literally flushed right out of an obese person’s body. Sophisticated scientific testing was necessary to discover exactly why this product produces such an extremely rapid weight-loss. The Way It Works Is Extraordinary! One of the ingredients is designed to maximize your body’s metabolic process. Another promotes the utilization of body fat and prevents it from being stored. Another inhibits the synthesis of cholesterol, lowers certain forms of high blood pressure and, works as an insulin mimic and has a normalizing effect on blood sugar levels. Another ingredient is a potent antioxidant which enhances your immune system and provides “insurance” your metabolism remains at a continuously high level. The other three ingredients influence the thyroid gland, assist in mineral absorption and reduces cravings for sugar.

I'm 44, married, with a 5 year old daughter. I gained 100 lbs in the past 8 years and feel tired most of the timeI can't seem to find the motivation to get very far in my weight loss. I used to be very athletic and would love to have that feeling back. I'm hoping I can find friends and motivation here to help me reach my goal.

IIm married have 3 kids ages 9 and 5 year old twins. I've lost20 pounds last year but put it back on.. I need to find to find something that I will stick with and also change my life style. I have kids to keep up with and play with

I'm a 61 yr. old runner. I'm a father of two. One in the Army and one still at home. I'm also a new grandfather. I lost 70lbs over a couple of years but have gained 40lbs back recently .I work in the telecommunications field, VoIP systems. I have gotten off a healthy eating style by eating chicken, some beef and snacks, coffee, soda. Sometimes fast foods.

I've come dangerously close a few times to that goal weight since baby #1 :) ... when I did the Beck Diet Solution faithfully, along with Weight Watchers Core Plan, I had great results. That was about four years ago and life took on a whole new level of stress. So now I need to find a way back.

I am 65,5' 6 1/2", married for 44 years. I feel I am young and am a corporate trainer and not ready to retire. Living to 100 or more is a good possibility, so I have to take care of my body, stay off meds and use good nutrition to handle the body.

I am a mommy to 4 beautiful girls, ages 14, 12, 10 and 6. I am engaged to a wonderful man and will be married this coming year. I work 10 hour overnights at a residential facility for high risk youth, making having family time and personal time hard. I am trying to fit in exercising. I am scared for my health.

I am about to turn 21 and have never been able to wear a bikini. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease nearly 2 years ago I currently have low energy and motivation and self esteem. I dont want to go on a "diet" I want a lifestyle change both in my food an emotionally, I want to feel happy in my body and not look in the mirror in disgust. I have lost about 10kg over 4months but need to loose another 6kg or so and have fallen off the ban wagon

I am originally from Czech Republic, but married an English man ... With 2 little girls and no time to do much for myself. All that is about to change :)

I am 27 years old and in my 3rd and final year of graduate school. I am a future school psychologist. I dont have children nor am I married but I do have a niece and nephew that I love dearly.

I am a stay at home mom with 3 kids. I had them in 3 years and have lost most of my core strength and am trying to get rid of the weight I gained in those pregnancies and even before. My kids love carbs and junk so it is hard to diet with picky eaters.

Last 6 years has been a struggle navigating and trying to alleviate symptoms. At this point I may be seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Hallelujah!

I am tired of being fat and I want to completely change my current lifestyle in order to be health

I had my first child in May 2012. I gained a ton of weight AFTER giving birth with in the first two months because I was overwhelmed with the new responsibility. I am an emotional eater. I don't believe in diets, I think they're short term solutions to a much more difficult problem of being an overeater.

Mom of 3 children, stylist with stella & dot, and own a wedding coordination business.

I am 40 yrs old, 6 children. I turned 40 and in one year gained 32 pounds. I have tried so any diets but lately nothing seems to work. I have not lost a single pound despite cutting back and making healthy choices. I admit I hardly drink water and exercise sporadically :(

I have recently prior to this year lost about 14 lbs and then end of July 2012 I decided I wanted to lose my and I got down to 154 wich was a additional 25 lbs lost and gave up and I am currently around the 160ish stage and would like to be 140!

I love my booty and don't wanna lose it but I know if I start exercising I will.

59 Y.O. SERIAL DIETER ALL OF MY LIFE; BEGAN STRENGTH TRAINING 10 MOS AGO AND DESPITE WORKING VERY V EYR HARD, HAVE NOT LOST MORE THAN 3 POUNDS

52, Wife, Mother, Dietitian, Student of Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Living with adrenal based cancer 15+years

I am a relatively happy person, but I do have my moments. I am 52 and really would like to lose this excess weight. I have tried, and tried and tried....... I lost my job in June and have been seeking employment locally as opposed to traveling (which contributed LOTS to my weight gain). I have been happily married for 34 years. I am going to become super-mindful of my eating. I have joined a local gym and will be working out 5 days per week.

I am a 23 year old woman who is at risk of becoming a diabetic due to both my weght and the fact that diabetes runs in my family. I am hypoglycemic and also have a family history of heart problems. I am already borderline diabetic and I know I need help and support in losing weight because I don't have alot of support at home since neither my father nor my sisters want to go work out with me and I just lose interest when I try to do it alone. I also don't wish to feel as if I'm carrying a whole other person with me wherever I go. I mean I can get up from kneeling on the floor at work and hear my knees, shins, and ankles make popping sounds as if they are going to snap under the weight that they are trying to lift. Having weak ankle bone structure anyway doesn't help either.

I am a 41 year old mother of 2. My boys are 4 and 8, and keep me hopping all of the time. I want to be healthy, happy and energetic for my boys, my husband, and most importantly... myself.

I am 26, married with no children currently, but two cats :) I would love to get in shape before having children and be able to maintain healthy habits.

If you need to know anything just ask...

married with two kids ,I lost confidence in marital affair due to how i look ,so determined to be who i was very enegertic and beautiful.

I'm an undergrad in marine biology who rides horses and enjoys being outdoors. I'm an equestrain and my horse's name is Calvin. Traveling is my passion, especially outdoor adventure 'vacations' and backpacking.

I struggle with making myself exercise, and I have a huge sweet tooth and I am an emotional eater. I've tried for years to change, but so far have not been successful.Not only that, my eating is getting worse - despite working with a special eating disorder therapist. I think the daily support with peers we have here will help a lot!

I quit smoking and started menopause at about the same time! The result? Many extra, unwanted pounds! I am now on the road to finding the sexy me again!

19 male , law student, work in food shop....like working hard, and i want this!!

Don't exercise other than at work

student

Married Mom of 3 girls. Love to cook.

Hi I'm lillie I'm 22 years old I have no kids and I've been married for 3 years, I want to enjoy my life which I do but i would enjoy it more if I lose weight. I need help.

I am 25, 5'9", and am told that I am "big-boned." People tell me I will never be a size 6, or under 165 pounds. I want to prove them wrong! In April of 2011, before earning my Bachelor degree, I weighed in at 196 pounds. Enough was enough! As I finish my graduate studies and find myself with [relatively] more time, I am currently floating in the mid-high 170s with irregular exercise and a [slightly] improved diet. I would like to be in the low 160s. I want to push into the 145 range, but that will take time, consistency, and dedication.

I'm 23, full-time student, working, just trying to find the time and energy to lose some extra weight. I love eating healthy and working out, but with my high stress life it's hard to stay on track.

22 y.o. homemaker, animal lover, knitter, and bride-to-be!

I'm a 25 year old college student with a very busy schedule. Besides school, i train Muay Thai, work full time, and i cycle. My goal is to go down weight to fight, but most importantly to feel good, be healthy, and make this a life long deal.

I'm 31 years old and self-employed. Three years ago I lost half of the 120lbs I wanted to lose. I've pretty much plateaued since then. So now, well, it's effing time. Let's do this!

34, massage therapist.

58 tired of being FAT.. good greif I'm 5'1. its ridiculous, uncomfortable & unfit for me to be in this shape... time to get movin.

im 26 years old been strugglin with my weight for the past 5 years!! found out i have pcos and that is making it even harder to loose the weight. Also really want to have a baby with my husband and my doctor says it will be much easier if i would loose weight and be in a healthy weight range!!!

Married mom of 2 boys, ages 10 and 8. Part-time pediatrician.

I am 54. I put on about 20 -30 lbs in the last couple of years but have always been overweight. I need to learn to eat properly and exercise consistently to reach my goal weight and maintain it.

I am a 34 yr old wife of nine amazing years and mommy of three spectacular kids. I love singing to the King of Kings.

Im 20 years old I just had my baby a year ago and I can't seem to lose the weight as fast as before . I like walking love to do Zumba.

35 and ready to figure this out once and for all. I need help with accountability - everyday. I know how to lose weight and have successfully done it multiple times...however emotional eating gets the best of me and here I am. I'm hesistant to ask for help from others, but I know I have to do something different now. I can be focused, disciplined and committed, but for some reason the normal "pushes" haven't been pushing me and it seems there is no stop button on my weight gain.

I'm 19. The last time I tried dieting was 3 years ago. The pounds have crept up on me, and I owe it to my self esteem to give weight loss another shot. Being fat isn't the end of the world, but it's starting to put me down emotionally.

I am 49 years old. I have been overweight since my late 20's and have tried everything on the market. I know it's not the productsmormdiets that have failed but my commitment to them. I started crossfit 3 yrs ago, made a commitment of no sugar and stuck to it for a whole year. Then a promotion and the wheels cam off and I am 77kg fat. I love crossfit but have being canceling session after session because I am embarrassed about being fat again.

I am 49 years old, I am married with 3 children 17,16 & 8. I love working out, spending time with my Husband and children. I love getting together with my friends.

I am a 57 year old female who, in the past several years has gained 56 lbs.

Hi: I am 48 almost 49 years old and finally admit that I am 40 lbs. overweight, sapped of energy, and looking downright old. I want to rescue my health and inner and outer body to keep up with my busy schedule as mom to two boys 14 and 11. I'm a ER nurse so I feel like a big "L" being overweight. I feel exhausted after working my shift. My goal is to be healthy to feel good, act good, and look good. My biggest obstacle is having the willpower to stop eating sugar, butter, and junk food. Also to maintain a balance of hydration and satiety, and to control holidays, eating out, and parties not have them control me.

Married, work full time, four grown kids, 50 years old, stressed out ALOT

I was 335 about 12 years ago. Lost 135 and was a buff 200. It's been a slow creep upwards for the last 7-8 years. I've had enough. I'll never be the buff 200 I was as a 35 year old but I can get close!

I am 24 years and have 2 children 2 and 3 months needless to say had two back to back pregnancies and love comfort food. I have always had a self image problem but now at 218 i cant stand to see my reflection so i am going to change !!

I am a 39 year old mother of two. I would love to be fit at 40! I struggle so much with weight. I feel like a skinny fit person wearing a giant fat suit. It embarrases me to the point of now wanting to participate in society. I lack the motivation to lose weight.

i am 38 work outdoors really need do this

I am a mom of 2 with a career. I don't have or make time for me because I'm busy taking care of everyone...my family and my job. I eat terribly, am a big time emotional eater, and don't drink water...well hardly ever. I need to make a lot of changes in my life!

A mom of two (7 & 3), nearing 40, I never had a problem with weight. I could always eat what I wanted. My weight would fluctuate--5 pounds here and there, and it was fine. But the past two years have been a challenge. The weight has never gone down, and just keeps adding up. So now I'm a good 15 pounds overweight--I cannot believe the scale! And I have a major sweet tooth.
