Student, age 20. I want to lose 10 pounds by New Years. I'm 5/2 125 pounds, which might not sound like a lot but looks pretty bad on me because it is mostly arm and stomach flab. i'm pretty active - work out about 4 times per week for an hour - which makes it more frustrating that i cant seem to drop these pounds. i gained the weight over the summer, and really want to lose it before a special visit to some friends on Jan 4. I need your encouragement and advice!

I'm a 23-year old student, in my fifth year of a secondary music education degree. Currently I'm a live-in nanny for five children, until Christmas when it's back to school for my final semester. My fiance is extremely active and positive about my goals (above), and I enjoy a wide variety of sports, from racquetball to rockclimbing, to cross country running (though it's been too long since I ran more than 2 miles without feeling like I was going to die...). I'm so READY to get started and tone up/increase my endurance while shedding the few pounds I need to, to look and feel great on my wedding day! I hope your guy's support/sharing will be just the little push I need. :)

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'm 30, F. I was a member of PeerTrainer a few years ago when I lost about 32 pounds. However... I've been gradually putting it back on ever since!
I really seem to lack motivation and sticking power whenever I've tried to lose weight in the last couple of years. Sooo.... a new approach. I want to use Peertrainer to keep me accountable to staying active and making good choices. Basically a healthy lifestyle - let's see where that gets me!

I am a 24 year old Male and graduated from college in 2005. After college I began to pick up some weight but was fortunate enough to join a couple soccer teams and lose most of that. Now I am in fairly good shape but would feel a lot better about myself if I picke up some muscle and got rid of my remaining pudge. Also as a side note, I have the worst diet ever. I eat fast food all of the time, I am willing to slow down a little bit but if my exercise plan is good enough to allow me to eat fast food, I will continue to do it.

My name is Emily. I'm turning 30 this year and it is time for a change. My husband is in the military and we are currently stationed in Sicily. I am a stay at home mom but I do some work at home things, too. We have two boys, Joshua is two and Nikolas is nine months (and I am breastfeeding). I was lucky to only gain 13 pounds with Joshua and 3 pounds with Nikolas. I have lost all my baby weight and now weigh less than I did when my husband and I met 4 years ago.
I love crafts like scrap-booking and card-making. I love photography. I am a Christian and love to learn about God. I want to go back to school to become a graphic designer. I love to bake!

Time to revisit this profile and my goals..
Get back to the inches lost from last summer ...getting to the gym more often, eating less sweets, drinking more water, getting better sleep.
I am an active person with a full life, but still struggle sometimes to feel comfortable in my own skin.

I have two kids, ages 4 (boy) and 2 (girl). I gained 80 pounds during my first pregnancy and 60 pounds during my second. In January 2006 I decided to lose weight and I lost 40 pounds by August 2006. I am 26 years old, 5'8" and started in January 2006 at a miserable size 14 and 180 pounds. My lowest point was 140 pounds and a size 4, that lasted for 1 week. I am currently 155-158 pounds (depending on the day before) and squeezing into a size 6. I refuse to pull out the "size 8-10" box of clothes in the garage and am determined to reach a realistic weight and figure out how to maintain that weight.

I am 35-years-old and feel as though I have been struggling with my weight my whole life. Truth is...I was always rail thin and in shape growing up...eating anything I wanted and never having to intentionally exercise. The older I get, the more the pounds keep creeping on...and the harder it is to get them off. My overall goal is to eat healthy and exercise regularly...maintain a healthy lifestyle. However...I can't lie...I'm also trying to get down from 170 to approximately 145 so I can feel good about myself and look better in clothes. It's been hard and I'm just looking for some support...someplace where I can hold myself accountable while also staying focused and motivated.

I'm a 19 year-old college student. Going on my 2nd year and I gained the dreaded Freshman 15. I've always been on the heavier side ever since I was little, and I played volleyball during high school and that helped alot. But now I'm tired of being the "chubby" one out of my friends. I have trouble keeping track of what I eat, and counting it accurately?

25 year old female about to start law school this fall. I am struggling with the weight gain that came mostly as a result of an irritated herniated disk that has been giving me trouble for the past four months.

I'm an attorney who is not practicing at the moment so I can take care of my daughters and my mom. I do a bunch of volunteer work and try to enjoy life. My last jounal entry was in December '05. I was 132 and looking to slim down to a healthier weight by my 42nd birthday. Now I'm 43 and weigh 126. At one point, thanks to healthier eating and an awesome trainer, I was down to 122 and was super fit. Ten months later, I've slipped back into bad habits and feel all soft and pudgy again. I would like to get back to that high point and am turning again to peer trainer to help get my eating back on track. I want to wear a bathing suit by our new pool and not feel embarrassed.

I am 38 years old and a mother of four. I live in Oregon. I had never been very dedicated to getting fit before. But, I decided that I didn't like having no energy and not being able to fit into my clothes anymore. I have just started changing the way I eat. I have been counting calories and making better food choices.
|
I have always had a weight problem. Last year I lost a huge amount of weight (60lbs), but I have gradually started gaining it again this summer due to my lack of activity and bad food habits.

Recently became an empty nester when daughter left for college. Been overweight most of my adult life. Have lost pounds to ultimately put them back on. To easy to think about it all the time than do it. Facing the fact the doing is the only way it is going to happen
|
|
I'll be 40 in December and I want to be in better shape than currently. In the past I've ran 1/2 marathons and been in excellent shape, but when I went to work full time a few years back the time I spent on myself to keep in shape was squeezed out. I've rejoined the gym and am dedicated to making time for myself.

I'll be honest here. Mostly everyone on here is 20+. I am only 15. I have very low self-esteem. I know there are girls who are actually fat. I however am not fat. I am just chubby. But I am very afraid of becoming fat by the time I reach 20. My eating habits used to be HORRIBLE. They aren't great now, but they are a little better. I'm really hoping that you adults on here do not penalize me for being a young teenager. I just want to look a certain way now, and I want to do it the right way (without being anorexic or bulimic). There are a lot of fat adults in my family and I do not want to be one of them.
So, hopefully this goes well.

I'm 25, married, a college graduate, youngest of a big family, Christian, Latina and had my first baby in March 08! I'm short and am pretty bootilicious!

But after my baby girl came I have started my journey to fitness and have been learning so much and I have changed so much from the inside out!
I'm currently a group fitness instructor for Total Woman Gym & Spa and am LOVING IT! I now want to pursue getting my personal training certification!

Hey!! I am an outgoing, ambitious person who loves living life to the fullest! I am currently pursuing a degree in Organizational Communications. I work for a television publication company in the DFW area, and love every minute of it! I have a busy work/social life, and often make excuses for why I don't have time to exercise or prepare a healthy meal. Believe it or not, there are times I am content with my body, thus making it even harder to follow through with any diet decisions I make.

I am 32 years old and am a school librarian by day, and I have my own tutoring business after school. Needless to say I am pretty busy! I'm a techie and basically spend the rest of my evenings (8-10) online.
I tried PT a few years ago and really got into it...I had a great workout routine and was careful with my diet. Since I got out of the routines, I've gained about 15-17 pounds. I need some competition/motivation/reinforcement! I hate myself right now.

I am a high school French teacher and guidance counsellor. I am looking to lose weight before getting pregnant. I hurt my back a little over 2 years ago and have been dealing with back pain 24/7 ever since. I used to play soccer and volleyball for fitness but those sports are out of the question now. I have been struggling to find exercise I can stick to (and enjoy). I have gained about 25 pounds since I got hurt and it's driving me crazy.
|
I fix computers. I used to like food a little to much. Now I like the good foods. I still struggle a lot. I have learned that grain foods that are high in fiber are filling and wont let you get hungry. I love Kashi cereals. I also learned that when you look at the end result you fail. I have learned that one pound at a time. It is more realistic and more achievable.

My name is Christina and I'm a rising junior at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology double majoring in Economics and Math. I played a ton of sports growing up -- soccer, tennis, field hockey, track-- and never had to worry about anything I ate, but after coming to college, I quit playing sports and watched my weight start creeping up. I want to get back to the fitness and health level I was when I played sports...hopefully!

Young, single, working female who is trying once again to maintain a healthy lifestyle- no matter what. It seems like I'm doing really well and then one day I wake up and don't want to do it anymore or I listen to people who say- take a break. I take a break and never get back on. The lowest I have been is 180 and I looked great. I didn't even know how small I was until I see the pictures now. I even felt big then because I've always been big. Sometimes I feel like no matter what happens, this is what I am supposed to be. Last year I lost 30 pounds and got to 202 and came right back to my current weight 237. But I am done being sorry for myself and have decided to take the slow and steady pace so I can keep it off. Before I made dramatic changes. Didn't eat hardly any sweets. Lots of salads and I just got tired of acting like a rabbit, no matter what the great achievements I had made.
Slow and steady for me. I'm gonna continue to eat what I want but in moderation and making healthy substitutes for things that are plain no good for me. (french fries, either eat 5 or just go home and make sweet potato fries, which are actually tastier- just longer to cook.

I'm Taryn. I'm 17...and live in deerwood, mn. I'm 5'6 and weigh...(well around 186) Other than that... I'm pretty much a motor head....I'm addicted to nascar and big trucks. I love to work on engines and all that kinda stuff. I'm also what some might refer to as a country girl...because I do the whole hunting/fishing/outdoors all the time thing. I've been told that i'm outgoing...(personally I think i'm relatively shy.) and also that I'm spontaneous (i agree with this.). Other than that, i'm not really any good at describing myself...
so...
If there's anything else you'd like to know...Just ask!!

I am 34 years old. I am married with three awesome children. I've been struggling for a long time with weight loss. I never seem to be able to get to that point where the good habits end up overcoming the bad ones. I am still fighting it though so here's hoping that this site may be a motivator for me and up the stakes in the accoutability department.

I'm 33 years old and have been overweight most of my life. At 26 I began to get sick and found out that I had a pituitary tumor that caused Cushing's Disease, which accounted for even more weight gain and tons of other health problems. Three surgeries later, I'm feeling better and am working to improve my health and get rid of some of this weight!

i'm an 18 year old female living in california.
i do enjoy fitness (i'm having personal training sessions twice a week and i go to martial arts class 2-3 times a week) and i eat pretty healthy food, but even so, i've gained a few pounds as a freshman in college :(
i want to do some damage control and reverse this and go back to my pre-college weight... plus, i've had sports injuries (knees) before so losing a few pounds would put less impact on my knees.

I am a 21 year old, married, college student majoring in Exercise Science. I tore my ACL two weeks ago and I am very bummed. I feel as if I have already gained 15 pounds from being forced to be inactive. I love fitness but I lack motivation. When I am sad, I eat candy. When I am angry, I candy. When I am celebrating, I eat candy. It is obvious to see what my downfall is. Getting up and exercising is the easy part. Eating healthy is another story. I love food and cannot find it upon myself to starve myself of good eating!

I'm 17, love family friends, soccer working out, traveling, getting to know new people, MUSIC, etc etc.

The biggest down fall is it never happens fast enough and then I do lose I gain more weight to lose the next time. This time I really hate the way I look and feel. I find myself not wanting to get together with my friends or going anywhere any more. I am changing to a drifferent person and I need help to change that.

I am a 25 year old special education teacher and I am getting married in just over a year, which is another reason to lose the weight. I am just ready to get my life back!!

I am a college student pursuing a major in medical sonography. I have always been real athlletic and involved in dancing. But in 2005 I went off to a University 5 hours from home in the middle of no where. I started to have problems. The second semster of my freshman year I was having family problems and I was unhappy and depressed at school. I gained around 45-65 pounds in a month. But I left that school and came home and started going to a local college since then My life is slowly but surely comming together. I lost 40-45 pounds on weight watchers. But I stopped doing weight watchers and tried just exercising but that doesnt work because my weight fluxuates. If I stop exercising for more then a week I gain all that I had lost back. So I am going to do Weight Watchers again combined with exercise to get to my goal weight.

I'm 33, and entering my last year of law school. I also work full time, am married, and have a 2 year old. My schedule is pretty crazy with work, school, and family. In college and thereafter, I used to run and PT, but as I've added other commitments to life, I've neglected fitness. I am passionate about the law and often find myself spending way too much time focused on the mental side of my life (work/studying) and that means that any remaining time must go family, leaving no time for fitness.

I'm 17 years old.. I've been chubby ever since i was little and over the years i gradually grew bigger and bigger.. Last year my parents got divorced and i've been downhill ever since.. I would constantly eat to ignore my pain, i'd feel so upset that all i do is eat.. A few months ago i was so blind that i didn't realise how big i was getting.. For the past few years everyone would tease that i am fat.. (yes i know i am, but at that stage i was happy with who i was because i had such great friends) -- But family aren't supportive.. my grandparents, relatives.. would tease how fat i am, sometimes if i see relatives that i haven't seen for years over a special occasion.. They would take one look at me and they'd be shocked.. they'd giggle and then say i need to diet straight out.. Ever since i heard my grandparents say to my aunty about my mother and i.. 'What does she feed her? She is so fat!' .. i would cry myself to sleep constantly with those words repeating in my head.. For years i've been the fat one.. but from this point on, i want to change.. i've tried lots of diets, but my motivation always decreases.. I hope i can be better this try!

I am a 23 year old college student. I have always had a little extra weight even when I was a very serious swimmer in high school. I was 175 at my heaviest and I am half way to my goal of 140. I have maintained a regular schedule of exercising and eating well during the summer, but I am afraid that I will start to slip with the new semester. I have just started running, completely changed my diet and have lost 13 pounds in the last two months. I would love to lose another 15-20 pounds and look good for graduation next May. I would also love to celebrate with a half (maybe even a full) marathon.

31 years old. Gained a lot of weight during school and never addressed it. Never did anything about it. I work a lot and make excuses regarding working out. :(
|
I will share only what I am comfortable with and then tell more on myself as I make progress. I am not so how viewable this is and would prefer to remain here for encouragment, advise, accountability, and positive words. I am hard on myself so I just need others to encourage me in.

i am 38 years old, which means that my 39th year of being alive has already began, consequently i will be 40 soon. funny, don't feel a lick over 30, although my body tends to disagree with me. the truth is, i bet him, mostly to encourage me to get off my butt and get my heart pumping. have a 2 year old daughter and another one on the way, and they need me to be around for a while, so need to take care of this body!

I have an issue with my weight. to give you an idea, i'll tell you about my weight fluctuations. At the age of 12 i was usually 120 lbs give and take, at 13 i was usually 132 lbs give and take, at age 14 before summer started i was 139 lbs, after summer ended i was 122 lbs, two months after that i was 141 lbs which means i gained back all that weight plus 2 more pounds. from then on until i was 17 years old my weight fluctuated anywhere from 128 lbs to 147 lbs, depending on whether i was exercising, eating healthy, starving myself, or eating excessively. the end of june 2008 when i was 17 i was 145 lbs. two months later at the end of august 2008 i weighed 134 lbs. over the summer of 08 i also became a lacto ovo pescatarian.
