I'm a 35-year-old professional, a foodie and great cook who loves to exercise and is quite fit despite still needing to drop about 20 pounds. I have successfully lost 35 or so pounds on Weight Watchers over the past few years and right now am bouncing between 154 and 160. I want to break through 150 and ultimately get into the low 130s. It would feel like a miracle, but I know I can do it.

I ama 50-year old woman, divorced, living with my boyfriend (that term seems so juvenile but what else is there?). I have two kids in their 20's, not living with us. I'm on my third pass in Weight Watchers. I am an accountant and spend long hours sitting in front of a computer. My firm is chock full of free, delicious, fattening food.

I'm a single mom to a DD (Age 6) & work a FT desk job. I struggle with the energy to even get the necessities done so healthy food and exercise often get kicked to the side, although I'm very nutrition label conscious, organic- and GMO-aware, etc. I'm 5'2 with a naturally muscular hourglass build so even at my thinnest I never really felt thin enough. Before pregnancy, my weight fluctuated b/w 117 and 135, but usually settled at 125.
I've slowly come down from my pregnancy weight of apx. 180 . Pre-cleanse, the lowest I weighed post-pregnancy was 135 (using RX weight loss drugs), which I didn't maintain long. My first PT cleanse in December 2012 got me down to 132.5, which I also didn't maintain long BUT it helped me realize I can get my weight down I just have to be super patient and clean with my diet.
I'm an all or nothing type, and am used to being able to not work out for months then resume and quickly be back at my previous level. That approach has only gotten me shin splints and increased my frustration since becoming a mom :-(

I am 25 years old, love Disney World, my family and my boyfriend of 3 years. I have struggled with being overweight for many years and figure its better to get my weight and health under control when im younger than try to when im older and it takes more work. I love food and that is my major downfall...

As a single mom, I feel like I've been in survival mode for the past decade -- putting myself through college, launching a career, providing for my son.
I'm finally at the point in my life where I can take a breath. Breathe. Om. Aaaaaaah . . . I've done a lot of spiritual and emotional work to get to where I am today and I'm ready for my outside to match my divine inside.

I'm 62 years old, have 1 son who is a chef (he doesn't cook for me -- I still cook for him) and a boyfriend who likes to eat out a lot. I am looking forward to the cleanse these next two weeks. I like the structure and the discipline involved in the program.

Hi, I am a 48 yo mother of two, 14 and 16, I work part time as a disability support worker. I constantly go up and down quite dramatically with my weight. In January I couldn't lose the usual winter weight gain and discovered that I have hashimotos syndrome, which is an autoimmune disorder that effects your thyroid hormones, basically my metabolism had halted and I was severely hypothyroid. It has taken me 8 months to get it under control with taking thyroxine but I now need to shift the weight which is very hard as my body is now quite resistant to weightloss.
I would also like to regain some fitness and due to aching joints my first exercise goal is to be able to walk for 30 minutes 3 times per week.

I am a 49 years old and I have struggled with my weight for years, and I have had success with other programs, but I have a hard time sticking with them for the long term. I did the cleanse a few years ago and I had great success, but when my work schedule became erratic, and my hubby started cooking, I put on weight. (He does not follow my eating plan) The past few years have been an emotional upheaval and I am back to my heaviest weight. I am committed to eating healthier and getting to my goal weight and staying at it. I need to stay connected to my teams for the accountability.

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.

I'm 33, 155 pounds, 5'2". Goal is to be between 115-125 pounds. Looks easy, is hard. I have Lupus diagnosed at age 11 and has always been that extra hurdle to get through. Being aware of all actions WITHOUT judgment, I find, is the key to my ability to change. The without judgment part is the challenge! :)

Lost my way majorly - work stress - other stress. I need to gain self-discipline and not allow third parties to dictate the quality of my wellbeing.

I'm married with no kids but I do have two beagles which are what I consider "my boys".
My husband of over 25 years is a chef and my best friend. He is as supportive and encouraging as any girl could want.
Started the Freshstart Cleanse in August 2012 and continued a tight regimen for 2 years in which I dropped over 80lbs.
Over the last 2 years I've slipped back into old habits and have put 60 lbs back on. I don't like it. I need the support of like minded people to help me modify all those bad habits I've begun again. I love the communities here on PEERtrainer.
On Monday 04/25/2016 I'm starting the Cleanse protocol again. Long work days make exercise a difficult thing to begin again but I'm starting that process today as soon as I've "declared my intentions". There's nothing like accountability to keep me on track.
So here goes...
Peertrainer was a life saver for me. I know I can do it again as long as I stay focused and keep my eye on the goal.
