I am in my 50s and enjoy reading. I plan to bicycle a lot this year in order to help lose the extra weight.
|
I, too, am in my 50's and deal with some health issues. I'm a wife, mother, and grandmother. I need to begin with walking and building from there.
|
Not crazy about exercising. Reading is one of my favourite things to do. I have PCOS, which makes it easy to gain weight and difficult to lose. I had gestational diabetes in 3 pregnancies, so am high risk to become a diabetic when I'm older.

Jan. 21, 2007--Hi, I'm Ellen and I weigh 289 pounds. My highest weight ever was 312 pounds---I've maintained the 23 pounds I lost for over a year. I know that I will be able to loose between 100--120 pounds (not sure of my goal--I'm 5'10" with a large bone frame). I plan to start with exercising daily; specifically, I plan to walk 15--30 minutes and use my stairs for 15 minutes 4 to 5 times a week. As far as food, I plan to do one week on the cabbage soup diet and then look to making healthy food choices. I'm excited about this group. I'm a mother of 3 grown children, grandmother of 4 of the best grandchildren in the world, and a Special Education Teacher--a job that I enjoy. Also, I am a Spirit filled woman who believes that, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

I've been married 18 years, have 2 children, now teenagers. I work at a local college. I like to read, watch movies with my family, bible study, scrapbook. I've been overweight most of my life and have been on many diets, only to be discouraged after a few weeks.
|
I am married and have one little boy (4 years old). I work full time as an RN at a local hospital. I am lucky because my husband is overweight also and he can be a big support for me. Current weight 242

Mother of 2 teenagers. husband of 19 years. I am a secretary so I sit a lot.
|
I am a stay at home...although we are not at home much...Kids are 3 and 5 ....We live on a ranch in Texas with horses and multiple critters everywhere...i need to get in shape for summer...and forever!
|
I'm a stay at home mom of 2 kids - a 4 and 6 yr. old. I do a little freelance work on the side, and I alway thought I'd be able to be this amazing workout mom since I do stay at home and have the time to do it. But I figured out that I still have ME to deal with - someone who procrastinates, who always seems to need an event to drive her to lose, rather than making it a lifestyle change. Again, a vacation to the beach is driving me. I always reach my goal. BUT when September roles around...I start slipping. Even though I reach my goal, I need motivation and support. I also like to be there for others who need true accountability, exhortation, and a lot of transparency and humor so we can accomplish our goals with our sanity in tact.
|
I am 51 years old, happily married for 31 years with 3 kids and 6 grandbabies. I am a writer/psychologist/preacher and work from home. (My husband and I pastored for 20 years, but we are now working in other directions.)

Mom of 3 college kids...time now to focus on ME! I believe in the Mind, Body, Spirit connection, but had let my walk with God slide, after my divorce. I have put God 1st in my life, again , and I'm ready to work on my Body & Mind. I recently had a medical scare; I want to decrease my chance of developing cancer, diabetes, & heart disease. I use to be active; I want to roller skate, swim, & snow ski, again. I want to throw away the black/baggy clothes and stop avoiding cameras. I need to develop healthier ways to deal with my stressors. I am joining this site to utilize the support system; I need your help to overcome stumbling blocks.

I am a 36 year old mother of 3 children, a 7 year old daughter and twin 4 year old boys. I have been overweight since I was a kid, and have only lost weight for short periods of time, only to gain it back and then some. The most success I had on a diet was the South Beach, and I loved it because I wasn't constatnly hungry and had lots of energy.
|
I am a single mom of 3 boys. I never seem to have enough time for anything other than the basics. Work, kids, cooking, cleaning, and sleeping. I would like to learn to incorporate exercise into my life. Not just for me but also for my kids.
As a kid I was super skinny. Completely obsessive about my size and weight. So obsessive I became anorexic and belimic at the same time. I was hospitilized and everything seemed fine. Then kids and age creeped up on me and my obsession with diet and excercise turned to an obsession with food. Im totally compensating for the lack of love in my life. Food is the best lover because it never has abandoned me.

I'm a stay at home Mom with 2 kids. I was recently watching a couple of shows on DayStar. One, Joyce Meyers said that sometimes we are stuck in the boat (like the 11 disciples) and we need to just take the first step *out* of the boat. Well, I'm doing that today. With God's help I know that I can do it! The other show had a preacher that gave me this line: Hindered, but not defeated. I have felt defeated with regards to my weight, but I've just been hindered. I'm not defeated!

I am a 43-year-old stay-at-home mom of a boy, 9, and a girl, 5. My husband, to whom I've been married for almost 15 years, is a newspaper journalist. I have struggled with my weight all of my life, usually hovering at about 20 lbs above my ideal weight. I have only reached my goal weight (about 135) a few times, and for what seemed like about five minutes, before I started gaining again. I love my life, except for the ongoing daily struggle I have with self-control. I don't eat right, I don't get enough sleep, and I can be extremely inconsistent with other goals I have set for myself. I need help and am committed to logging and keeping up with posting in PeerTrainer!

I'm 37 years old...married with one daughter and 3 cats. My struggle with weight began about 10 years ago. I have perfected the art of yo-yo dieting, but recently reached the dreaded 200 mark...something I vowed never to let happen. I have allowed my circumstances and emotions to dictate what I eat for too long now and am ready to make some changes with the support of others facing the same challenges.

I was relatively normal weight until I had my two great kids (13&15). Then I ballooned up to 225lbs. I stayed pretty much at that weight until about 6 or 7 years ago when I started making gradual changes in my lifestyle. I started eating healthy one step at a time and gradually added exercise to my routine. I started with a little walking and then added doing the eliptical at the Y. About 2 years ago I was between 180 and 190 and I really made some distinct changes in cutting fat and cholesterol from my diet. That's when some yo-yoing started. I want to live my life as a normal weighted person. Right now, I would like to finally (once and for all) get this last 30 pounds off and be free to just live in my pre-kid healthy body...if that's possible.
I am happily married (20years). I am a devoted mother of two beautiful kids (11& 14). I work full-time as a teacher's aide in ELL (teaching kids who speak other languages). I am a part-time college student.

I am a 38 year old mother of 4 (15, 9, 7, 2) I am madly in love with my husband of 12 yrs . We live in a small town in Texas, about 3500 pop.. I have a garden in back and it is something I love ,reading and cooking and canning are a few other things I enjoy. I volunteer with the community garden association to try to feed the community. We attend the Colorado River Cowboy Church. I was never over weight until after my 3rd child and I reached my heaviest weight. I still lost the extra lbs and was a very healthy 155 when i got preg. with our 4th child . I was starting to lose some weight when I started trying to quit smoking and since then have gained. I have not completely quit but I am down to about 2 cigs a day. SO with Jesus' help I will quit all together and lose the extra lbs. and be the healthy woman he created me to be. I love you Lord and thank you for my life!!!!

I'm 49 but I tell everyone I am 33. :) I was a thin size 8 until I got pregnant with my youngest boy--I gained 100 lbs. with him. I can't seem to stick on a diet anymore. They last about 2 hours no matter how good my intentions are. I have three boys. I am now doing Mother's Day Out at my church 2 days a week.
|
I`m married, and a homeschooling mom with 5 children,ages 13 to 5 months. I`m nursing my baby,so that makes it a challenge to figure out how to eat well,so I can produce enough milk,and still drop pounds.I`m about 48 pounds heavier than when I got married almost 15 years ago.

I never thought I could lose weight and was resigned to ballooning out as I've been thin all my childhood with never caring what I ate or how much junk food it contained. Then suddenly I was 40 and 163 lbs. I'm on the tall side (5' 9") but with my structure I think around 140 lbs would be best. I've managed to get to 151 so far, but now I haven't moved from that weight for over six months and I need to get my focus back. I'm hoping this will help.

I am married with a 17 year old daughter. I have dieted my whole life with very little success. I am determined to be 50 pounds less by the 50th birthday. I am giving myself a very long goal which is more attainable for me. I am doing weight watchers at home.

I'm 40, mother of two girls, and a stay-at-home mom. My weight has crept up over the past 8 years or so. I've read practically every book on the market, and tried many different diets/eating plans...I have tons of head knowledge but just need the accountability and discipline to follow through.

I'm very interested in the connection between exercise and mental health, and my focus is on spending time each day on mind, body, and spirit in the most fun ways ethical and possible.
I'm 42 and became the youngest empty nester I knew three years ago when both of my adult children moved out. They joined our family through adoption as older children, so the age difference between us is less than one would expect. I'm now a proud young grandma of one, with another on the way.
For the last couple of years, I've been something of a suicide prevention advocate. My goal is to spread the word that the major causes of suicide are medical conditions (depression and bipolar disorder) which are highly treatable.
Professionally, I work full-time at a non-profit organization teaching communication and independent living skills to adults with combined vision and hearing loss. My own children are Deaf, so this was a natural position for me.

I'm a mom of two boys, a wife of 18 yrs, a teacher of a mixed age group, and have of a love of Jesus and an Awesome God.
