I have lived all over the place. I was a competitive swimmer all through my teens so was swimming 5 hours a day and never had to think about weight loss or dieting. I could eat in excess of 3000 calories a day.. it was great:) Anyways injury forced me into retirement and over the last 4 years the weight has crept on. I just moved to Philadelphia, I am getting married to my boyfriend of 6 years next november and I am in a couple weddings next summer so they serve as goals to get my butt into shape again.

I'm 28, not married, and not in a stable relationship. This is part of why I eat, I think--I'm unhappy about being alone and I don't feel very attractive. I'm in a cycle of feeling unhappy and eating for comfort, and I need to stop. I look forward to being supportive of you all and being supported, too, as I make some real changes in my life.

I'm 27 and I recently moved back to philadelphia after living with my boyfriend for 2 years in upstate PA. I definitely packed on the pounds living with him (he is a fast food addict). After we broke up and I moved back home, I, as per usual, ate to feel better. Also, I have a great group of friends and we love to eat out! Too many restaurants, too many shared appretizers and drinks.

24, student and work full time. My life is very busy and I have not been making good food choices. I was thin all my life then gained 55 lbs my senior year in high school! I've lost about 30 through WW about a year ago but I haven't been "practicing" in a while. Now, the pounds are creeping back on. I guess I thought if I ignored it, it would be okay but its not!
|
Over the past 13 years, the pounds have slowly crept on. I lost 10-15 pounds and went down to a size 12 and then I got married and the weight came back plus extra. And the most exciting thing is that I'm going to be a grandma for the first time in Dec.

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.

DWF, 51, two daughters, one soon to be 30, one soon to be 16. After being thin most of my life, the last eight years I packed on more than 55 pounds, lots of it from being housebound to take care of my ailing mother who has since passed. Some of it I am convinced is the direct result of medications I take. Developed emphysema after 9/11 and take an inhaled steroid daily.

I am a 37 yr old wife and mother of 4 active kids, not sure why I could possibly have all this weight to lose when I am always chasing my youngest one and running around for the older ones. I want to improve my health and I would love to like the way my body looks.

I'm 50 and single; my doctor is unhappy since I have gained 14lbs. since March and cannot keep this up. I know that I emotionally eat! Sometimes I think I eat because I'm bored and sometimes I just don't take the time to take care of myself!
Hopefully, this can help!

I am 47, married ,a Mom of a precious 2 1/2 year old. I work full time and I care for my mother who is very ill and has 24/7 care at home as well as my father who is in a nursing home. I manage the nursing staff for my Mom as well as manage my dad's needs in the nursing home.
I love to be outside and to hike and to take walks with my daughter and my husband. My husband is very thin, NEVER works out and has some pretty bad eating habits. I do not blame him for my weight gain, however when someone has a bag full of cookies at 9:00 pm in front of the TV it is hard to ignore---especially when I am feeling stressed.

The baby fat my mom promised I'd outgrow never went away. I am now 41. For the last twenty years (yeah, you read that right) I've had an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid, causing it to slowly become less functional and causing me to gain over 120 pounds. This year, they finally figured out what was going on. They put me on medication, are now regulating my hormones, and at last, I'm losing weight. I joined Weight Watchers in October and have lost about 20 pounds. One hundred to go! My weekly meeting leader is an incredibale motivator, but I need more, which is why I'm here.

I am a mother of a 1 year old little girl. I have had trouble with my weight since about 15years old. I started on Birth control pills and it made me blow up!

I am a 44 yr old married full time nursing student. I have had weight issues most of my life but not huge ones until I hit 40. Nursing school is very intense and hectic and I don't have alot of free time to cook healthy and exercise. I have come to rely alot on convenience for cooking which translates into not so healthy. I try to walk on my treadmill at least every other day but often have to study instead. Since I live in Wisconsin getting outside during the winter months to exercise is hard with the cold, snow and ice. I don't ski but we do snowmobile. We are going on a cruise in less than a month and I would like to drop a few lbs before then.
|
I'm 56 years old. My daughter, eee, told me about this site. I've had several chronic health problems for the last 20 years or so. But I still try to do most things for myself, and try to keep busy. (Not always with a lot of success.) I have been a WW member for several years and attained my goal a couple of years ago. I was also a few pounds below it. Then I quit smoking. Even with walking 2 miles a day 5-6 days a week, and working out twice a week, I gained almost 10 pounds. Of course I also turned into a somewhat compulsive eater. When I quit smoking, something finally clicked, and I was able to do it. I'm sure that if I keep trying, something will finally click, and I will start to lose again.
|
I'm married 21 years and have 4 children, ages 26 to 16. I work as a Dental Assistant and love my family and my job.
|
I am 49 yrs old, mom to 3 sons, 32,29 and 17 yrs old. I work full time as a medical billing specialist and am happily married. I tipped the scales at 118 lbs in 2000 when I remarried and now I weigh 163...UGH!!! I have always been able to keep my weight at @120-125 but after about 44 yrs old everything went crazy.
|
I dont have alot of time after work for exercise. I live out in the country so its not so easy to run or walk on dirt roads. I go out in my back yard and run laps. I feel like it is better to do this than nothing at all.
|
|
I have lost 45 pounds on WW before (twice) but I gained it back because I let go of the habits and focus. I am a 45 y.o., widowed mom of a 12 y.o. son. My commitment to myself this year is to focus on my health and well being more than I have in the past.
|
I'm 43 years old and I've lost 70lbs since January using the WW point system and working out. I've got about 30 lbs or so to go. However, I've been here before (okay ... a few times) and this is where I always "bottom out", so I'm terrified of falling off track before I get to my goal. I'm trying to kick the "diet" mentality, and adopt a whole new healthy way of life ... carbs are not my enemy!
|
I am a 2nd year law student in Chapel Hill, NC. I live with my boyfriend of 3 and a half years and our 2 deaf cats (Petey & Joey - our babies!). I have always struggled with my weight but when I went on the birth control shot, it skyrocketed. I am still trying to get off the 60 or so pounds I gained in the year on the shot, plus some extra that I've always carried around. My goal is to be at my goal weight before I get married - whenever that may be!

I LOVE working with kids and work at mainstreaming autistic students into a mainstream classroom. I have always had a problem with weight. Even as a little girl I wanted to be thinner than I was, I felt so fat. I am now 5'2 and 175 pounds. My left knee is buckling under all of this weight and giving me lots of problems. I will be making a sincere committment starting Jan 1, 2007 to get this weight off for good. I can and will do it this time through eating less and exercising more.

51 year old female. Lost weight last winter on WW Point Program. I didn't have a scale prior to last week so I'm guessing I had lost about 10 pounds. I found them again. I ate my way through the fall/winter. I now know I weigh nearly 140 and although I don't feel terrible I know that I should weigh at least 10-12 pounds less than I do. Oh, I don't have a full-time job so I'm home doing nothing too often.

I'm 24 and a newlywed. Last year I joined WW and lost 18 pounds. We moved across the state and I can't afford to go to the meetings anymore. (Broke newlywed) I've gained 8-10 pounds back from my low weight. I want to lose those and the last few pounds that I never lost. I'm a newspaper reporter so often my day is quite unpredicatble, leaving me to rely on snacks or vending machines for dinners at city council meetings. I'm at a healthy weight now but want to get to where I can not be self-concious and fit nicely into my clothes.

I'm 35. I live in Austin Texas with my husband, 3 dogs, 8 cats, 10 chickens and now 2 Angora rabbits. I love to knit and spin fiber into yarns and handdye them. Other than all the fiber and spinning and knitting, we love to travel in our Airstream trailer/camper.
I teach high school English, but try to feed my creative side as much as I can. I am a writer, own a web business, am a massage therapist, but would give all that up to make a career in yarns/fiber arts. I've vowed to start back drawing/painting again. My husband is also a teacher and a writer. He's an artist and sculptor as well.
I don't know anything about WW, so hopefully you guys will help me with that.

Hi Everyone,
I've joined WW a few times before and have never been able to stick with it. Hopefully I'll be inspired by everyone here. I'm 53 and work in Human Resources. I live alone and it seems that I have no self control or discipline when it comes to food anymore - no one to make meals for, so I don't eat propery. I have to lose about 50 pounds.

I am 24 years old, college student majoring in Health Information Management. This will be my last semester in college. I used to be in good shape, but with school I began working out less and less. I also think that I eat more under stress. So during finals I end up eating everything. I gained almost 20 pounds with in the last year and a half. Now I realize that my eating habits have to change in order for me to be healthy and look great.

I am 32 and a single mom. I lost 42 pounds back in 2002. Since then I've gained back all 42 pounds plus 48 more. So that's 90 pounds! I can't even believe it when I think about it. Last year I rejoined Weight Watchers to find that I'd gained back 80, then I eventually quit. This year I rejoined to find I'd gained back 10 more since last year, so now I'm at the 90lbs total gain. I have nothing to blame besides my bad eating habits and lack of self control. I love to eat! I like large quantities of "bad" food. Chinese buffet, McDonalds supersized, giant Chipotle burritos, etc. I can't believe it when I see pictures of myself now and then. It brings me to tears. It's really hard for me to stick to Points like I used to. I don't know why. It just seems like such a far off goal that I'll never reach it.
|
I'm a new mom to 6 month old boy/girl twins and am working to get the last of my pregnancy weight off, 12lbs left! Prior to becoming pregnant I was a WW life time member and lost 46lbs and sustained that weight loss for 4 years. I'm desperate to fit into my clothes again considering the twins are the only ones getting new clothes in our house these days, ha!

I recently got married, moved to a new city, got a new dog. So lets just say there have been lots of changes.

Late 50's, still see myself as thin but I'm most obviously not. Need to shed 60 lbs. and, most importantly, get healthy.

I'm almost 48 years old and for the past few years have been fighting a losing battle against 45 pounds that I found and can't get rid of.
I have two kids, one 20 and one almost 17. I work full time in front of a computer mostly and that sure isn't helping.
I live in a beautiful area and should be enjoying some outdoor activities but I'm stuck. I'm SO good at procrastinating!

I am a 26 y/o new mommy to a handsome little five month old boy. I work full time as an EMT and often pull overtime shifts. I also works nights so setting a strict routine for working out and dieting can be tricky. I currently weigh 163 witch consumes my thoughts on a daily basis yet all I can seem to do is talk about it. I need some motivation and I want to start immediately so I can be back to my previous weight of 130. Several years ago I worked out in the gym everyday for atleast an hour and I felt great, looked great and lived great. These days its a little tougher to have that time and motivation but I know once I get into the groove and get started I will be happier.

I am 33 and have a 2 1/2 year old little girl. I am still trying to take the baby weight off. I just moved to a new city and am having a hard time adapting to things. Unfortunately I am an emotional eater so i feel like all I have done since moving is eat. I just startedgoing back to WW but I have not been motivated and not been keeping track. I read about this site and thought it sounded like a great idea to give it a try.
|
I lost over 50lbs on the weight watchers program after I had my daughter. Well I found out I my son was on the way and I gained it all back and then some. I just really felt a little lost in my own skin. At one point I found out my mother had breast cancer and well while my weight lose should have been a top priority I just let my self go even more. She is doing better now and I am trying to get back on track.

Hi All. I am new to PEERtrainer. Read about it in People magazine - the new issue with people who lost 100 lbs or more. Since having 3 kids, I am in terrible shape. I gained SO much weight with each pregnancy - particularly the last one because I was on bed rest for a LONG time and all I did was eat. So, now I need to lose around 80 lbs, which is about the 25-30 extra pounds I gained with each baby that I haven't been able to lose. My 3 boys are the most wonderful kids, and now that my baby is 14 months old, I need to spend more time on me again!

I weigh 280 pounds! Lately I feel like above all else that is what defines me. I'm 33. I have two boys, age 3 and 7 and I feel like I'm a great mom. I've been married to my husband for 10 years. I have an extremely successful career for a large corporation. I have everything going for me and have many successes, but because I can't get a handle on my weight I feel like a failure. I don't want to resort to weight loss surgery, and the support system I have around me seems to be hindering me instead of helping me so I hoping that the friends I find here at PEERtrainer will help me achieve my weight loss goals.

My journey to weight loss and health.

Just turned 50 and have been very sedentary for the last 4-5 years. I got flabby and fatigued. I believe that exercise and proper nutrition are essential and beneficial for mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
|
I am 23 yo. I have packed on 25 pounds over the course of 3 yrs. from having children. I really wish I would have tried to lose it after I had my children because I am now a true believer that the longer you wait to lose those extra pounds the harder it will get.

I am 27 (almost 28) insurance producer. I never had to worry about my weight until I hit college and ever since then, I have battled it. I am 5'9'' and weigh 165 lbs. I know what some of you are thinking, "why is she bit%hing?! I am uncomfortable, that is why. This is not a good weight for my body. My clothing doesn't fit and I have no energy. Since getting married four years ago, my focus to work out has faded. My husband and I enjoy eating out and love ice cream. I've slacked off and now it's time to step up to the plate and fix what I've done! I enjoy playing with my three labs and shopping.

I am a 23 year old female. I have had a weight problem my whole life, I lost most of the weight when I was 18 and kept it off for a good 5 years, however the last 2 years I've been in a downward spiral of bad eating and no exercise. I have gained about 20 - 25 kilos and I am desperate to loose this. I am getting engaged within the next year or so and I intend on being a slim, healthy bride.
|
I am 22 years old and work as a waitress. I feel like my life is out of control in almost every way possible. I have decided that it is time for me to take my life back into my hands instead of letting it spiral out of control. The first thing I am tackling is my weight. I weight 240 pounds and hate almost every pound of it. I have been overweight for as long as I can remeber and I think every person should experience what it is like to be in shape so now it is my turn. Once I get there I will stay there!
|
I'm 36 years old, married with one child. I LOVE SWEETS. It's my biggest downfall. I have a problem with keeping the weight off after I lose weight. Not really big on exercising, but trying to work on this!

I'm 46 years old, married 3 kids, and work as a teacher. I love what I do, and the people I work with. I like to stamp, and play bunco regularly. I do well with eating breakfast and lunch, but start to make the wrong choices at about 3pm and dinner.

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 a 34 yr old single mom of a five year old. I have my master's degree in Social Work and work for a county agency as a psychotherapist. In the past five years I have lost approximately 110 pounds and am so proud of myself, but these last 20 pounds or so are killing me!!

I am 40 and now ready to tackle my weight and the underlying issues. I am very busy and stress is a huge factor in my life, professionally and personally. Finding time and taking it for me is a challenge but one that I know I deserve. I have had 10 years of letting myself be last and now I need to change the way I think. I know the battle is mostly in my mind. I work in management in corporate America and have a family with 3 sons (20,16,8). I've been married 20 years. My family is supportive of my goals but are challenged w/ how the changes effect their lifestyle (meals, change in my schedule to exercise, etc.) My family could also lose the weight so the changes are good. Unfortunately I haven't modeled good behavior w/ food and exercise in the past. We eat out 2 - 3 times a week. Suppers are usually late as I usually don't get home from work until after 7 p.m., which is why we eat out a lot. Often we just need to eat so eating out is the choice we choose. Usually fast food due to the convenience and price. I am usually so busy solving everyone else's problem, (Work/ Home) that I have no time for solving my problems and mainly this weight. I am scared, I don't want to leave my 8 yr old with no mom because I couldn't take time for myself. I have HBP, I'm pre-diabetic, have a family with history of diabetes and kidney disease and feel that if I don't change now I am headed to die way before I should. I also want to live and not live life as a spectator.

28 y/o wife, mother of 2, homemaker, full time student with parttime employment. I miss doing the activities that my husband and I use to do together (ie, rafting, canyoning, running, kayaking, etc.). I stopped doing them because it was too much on me physically and mentally (the thought of putting on XYZ).

I am a mother of two beautiful girls, Kate and Melissa. I'm sure other mothers can attest that it's a full time job managing children with school/sports, cooking and working. For my New Years' resolution this year, I wanted to lose weight because I wanted to simply feel younger and healthy again. I rarely have time to go to the gym so I started jogging with Bouncer, my golden retriever.
I lost a few pounds here and there-- but nothing too drastic as I ended up gaining it back.
Then one day my hairdresser told me about an Acai berry supplement she had been taking to help lose weight faster. Naturally, I was completely skeptical-- As anybody would... Because really, can a little pill REALLY make you lose weight? I figured there was only one way to find out, so I ordered the free trial (I got mine at: www.Best3Acai.com) and took them every morning for a month. Two weeks in I noticed I had more energy to carry me throughout the day and I was losing weight faster than before.
Now it's been about 2 and half months since I started taking the Acai berry pills and I've lost a total of ~32 pounds. I've combined the pills into my workout plan on the elliptical twice a week and it's working amazingly well-- It has definitely changed my life around and I feel great every time I wake up (even when it's 6:30am for work)!
I hope to spread the word and be an inspiration for mommies just like me or women who are having trouble reaching their potential.

I am 20 years old and I live in South Carolina. I am currently in nursing school and have about 11 months until I graduate..and I don't want to be fat in my scrubs! I started watching the new show on Style RUBY and I was sort of inspired because I don''t want to ever get like that (and I easily could) so I have to start making changes now so that I am thin for the rest of my life...

I am 47 years old never married but soon to be. I live with my fiance who is a wonderful man.
