I am a working mom (three boys) and turning 45 this year. I am 5'7 and now weighing 138 lbs. I have gained 10 pounds in the last 1.5 years and a pound keeps sneaking up on me. I tend to eat very healthy for periods of time and then fall of the wagon. When exercising daily I eat healthier...but it's always all or nothing. I start and after three weeks feel great and then...I STOP completely.

I am 25 years old and have had self esteem issues (all weight and body related) ever since I can remember. I go through yo-yo cycles of losing and gaining between 10-12 kg. I have done this now 5-6 times, where I have fluctuated so greatly in size (as I am only 5"1 in height). I am deeply depressed about the way a look and have been for over 10 years. The thoughts on how I look consume me. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't stop and look in the mirror and have obsessively negative thought about myself. As a teenager I remember crying myself to sleep every night because I felt so ugly, I would get out of sports day and all PE lessons because I was so embarrassed. As I have quit smoking (to become healthier) I have gained more than 5kg and feel so awful about it. I feel that I have replaced my smoking addiction with an eating addiction. This is what I have been afraid of for so long, this is why I put off quitting. I have so many memories if feeling like my old self where I am becoming more and more reserved and lacking in confidence. I want to enjoy life and become happy. This is why I have decided that this is it! I am changing my life and breaking this cycle. I'm finally going to set myself free and be the person that I want to be!

I am a 36 year old woman with a husband, an 8 year old daughter, and a 4 year old son. I work full time at a desk job and have been in a rut for the past 8 years since giving birth to my daughter...hmmm, can you call it a "rut" if it's been 8 years? LOL.
Before getting pregnant, I was in grad school full time and working full time. I drank lots of beer with friends...and along with it, fried foods. I won't lie. I loved it. That's the problem, I still do! :) I now weigh 60 pounds more than when I got married.
I've never been skinny. Never. I've always been very muscular and...um, I don't know: thick, maybe?!? :) I'm only 5'4" and since becoming an adult, I've never been less than 145 lbs. I'm not trying to use that as an excuse, but I've always struggled with those "Healthy Weight" guidelines.
Before getting married at 24, I struggled with weight loss. I finally lost 36 pounds about 2 years before my wedding and managed to keep it off until grad school...I put that 36 pounds back on plus an additional 21 pounds. I am mortified that I weigh over 200 pounds.
I enjoy how exercise makes me feel, but can't seem to make myself get out the door to do it. And I HATE (H.A.T.E.!) workout videos.
I saw a picture of myself last night from 2000, one year before my wedding, and I did't even recognize myself! That is why I am here today. It begins.
I am very goal-oriented and am an emotional eater. I stuggle with depression and exercise helps this immensely. I love to laugh and find humor in situations to help me "cope."
I think that's pretty much all I can think of right now. :) Thanks for letting me be a part of this group - I hope this is the key to motivating me and sustaining weight loss.

I am a 23 year old mother of two from Canada. I enjoy doing outdoor activities like gardening, 4x4ing, camping, boating, etc. When I had my second child, I went into a downslide and gained a lot of weight. About 28lbs. I am short so around 118 or a little less is more of the norm for me. I have had spinal surgery when I was young and added weight proves to be a challenge for my rebuilt spine. I have to lose weight and maintain a healthy diet for my own benefit and way of life, not to mention my kids and my husband. I want to be there for them in every sense possible.

I am separated and have 2 children, 1 boy who is 15 yrs old & 1 girl who is 2 yrs old.

51 years old, happily married for almost 24 years to overworked husband, who eats when stressed or bored. I am prone to the same behavior. I work long hours, never sure when I'll be done at work, which should be 8-4, but sometimes I'm not home til 7p, leaving family to fend for themselves for dinner. This is bad for all of our health & family relationships .
We have two daughters, 17 & almost 13, who are good kids & high achievers. Our oldest is an avid swimmer, fitness & healthy eating fanatic, and inspiration to me. Youngest has narrow food interests, would eat pasta, mac&cheese, grilled cheese every day if she could & is not involved in any regular sports/physical activity. I'm concerned for her health.
We have aging parents & extended family who are dealing with serious health challenges related to obesity, Type2 DM, heart & renal disease in their late 40s/early 50s... too young!!!

I am 58 years old and have been battling with the excess weight since 1993. Up to this date....I was always at an ideal weight for my height. After 93, I quit smoking and was forced to change jobs at which time my new desk job kept me from moving like I had been at my prior employment...this is where it all started....5, 10, 20, 30 45 lbs later....I have constantly been battling this...trying this and that....succeeding at the loss...but putting in all back on shortly after and always at a cost for the programs.

Woman in my 50's that gained a large tummy over a two week period (5" gain) about 3 years ago. Medical people cannot explain it, and a whole bunch of tests found nothing. I think it is due to allergy/sensitivity issues, but have not narrowed it down yet. Now, the joint pain has me highly motivated to find the problem and make it stop

My name is Brian. I'm a 29 year-old male, married to Sarah, and father to Luca (1 1/2 years old). I recently joined the 90 challenge to lose some body fat and gain lean muscle, with hopes that my cholesterol will also be lower as a result. I've been on the challenge for only a week and already feel a difference. I have more energy, already lost a couple of pounds of fat, and am looking for some support to keep me going! Would love to talk to and/or meet any of you.

Well, I'm very new to this, I found this through Google, I was looking for a support group because I just can't stand my weight anymore, and I'm a vegetarian, so this is where my research led me.
I'm 6ft3 and I'd like to get a surfer kind of body, I'm not very cute, my hair is fuzy, my teeth are all out of place, and a fat body doesn't help my confidence at all... I'm 21 and have been single for my entire life, so yeah, I want things to change, and so I decided to lose weight, at least that'll be one thing done, before taking care of the teeth and the hair... Getting my teeth done, my hair lazered and my hair fixed needs a lot of money, at least getting a diet won't cost me a thing.
Now you know a lot about me, these were some of the thing I never talk about, and barely admit to myself.

I have always struggled with weight since childhood. I have reached an all time high... 235 pounds! :(
I have been an awesome yo-yo dieter, but something happened to my body last year & it refuses to lose weight now.....
I was on the verge of giving up hope, but am giving myself one last chance to rev up my metabolism and get healthy! :)
I feel miserable at his point, so something's gotta change! I'm going to give it my all!!

Oh. Ooops. I put all this stuff in the box above-not exactly the simplest site to use. I'm a super loner so it's hard for me to go to places where socializing is expected, however I'm also quite true to my word and if i make an appointment with someone, I'll show up (unless dead).

Married 27 years, one adult son, one four legged son. Have been physically active all of adult life, though slowing down considerably and have become very inconsistent . I used to be able to eat poorly and keep my weight in check with excersise and though I've been fairly healthy my cholesterol numbers are high and I'm usually stiff & sore, have stomach/digestion issues, and struggle with low energy and Idepression. I enjoy puttering around my home, reading, walking, yoga, travel, time with family and friends when I have the energy to do any of it. And I'm still optimistic that w/ a healthy lifestyle I'll be a much less cranky little od lady.

I have been over weight my entire life. I have been trying various Fad diets since I was 15. Nothing has worked long term because I inevitably get discouraged and revert to my old food loving sedintary lifestyle. I was always able to maintain my weight (heavy as it was) but I have gained 30 lbs in the last year, not acceptible.
