I am a SAHM of two children. I gained the majority of my weight after my second child, however a lot of it was also due to quitting smoking just before I got pregnant so I suspect it is a combination of both. I have absolutely NO will power. I was on the weight watchers program just prior to getting pregnant and doing good until I started gaining instead of losing that when I realized I was pregnant. Would like to get into it again but don't have the money to pay for registration and weekly fees.

Started as an emotional eater in childhood. Now I just like food. Considering that I've been dumpy most of my life and hate to exercise because sweat is just gross, I'm fortunate that I've ONLY just now reached 230. Don't have any health problems, YET. Have a teenage daughter who'd probably be happier with a healthier, happier mom.

I work in the schools as a speech therapist, and there is ALWAYS food in the teacher's room. On good days, I go to the gym after work, but by the time a get home, make dinner, and put it on the table, it's pretty late and I am super hungry...all portion control goes out the window!
|
I'm 25 and just moved to a large city to be with my boyfriend. Lot's of changes going on and I seemed to have forgotten about myself!

I have been extremely active, but have always struggled to lose wait (I have not been at a point since I was 13 and decided I was overweight, that I said I am at a good weight now, I can stop losing).

I am a 45 year old single mother of a 16 year old wonderful son. I teach first grade and have a wonderful family and friends. Sports is a big part of our life and we are continually going to my son's, nephews, and best friend's daughters ballgames. I love photography, scrapbooking, and camping though ballgames take up most of my time and probably will untill my son graduates. I confess i am not much of a fan of exercise. I don not enjoy strength training at all. I basically just walk or bike. I live in a great neighborhood for walking and biking. I would love to run again but am embarrassed to not be able to go any distance. I know you must start somewhere and maybe one day I will.

I've been overweight all my life. I wasn't a fat little girl but was pudgy. I've always been self conscious about myself. I remember feeling unhappy with my weight when I was in third grade and wasn't much bigger than other kids. In 9th grade I lost some weight by becoming bulimic. I kept that habit up for a few years and just somehow grew out of it (thank goodness!). I lost 30 lbs 5 yrs ago and then met my husband -- packed on the lbs then and had a baby 1 yr ago. Breastfeeding kept the lbs off and also kept me from dieting. I'm becoming an at home mom and have heard that stay at home mom's are more likely to be overweight -- scary. I'm ready to be proactive.
|
I have an athletic build and have always been thicker and curvier than my peers. However, by the time I graduated college I had sauntered my way up to 181 lbs on a 5' 6 1/2" frame. I started working out and watching what I ate. With the help of my boss' WW books I tried that system for awhile. I lost some weight, but through some changes gained a few back. I have started the serious, disciplined weight-loss trek again. This morning I was at 163. I am aiming for 150.
|
Turning 60 this July. I lost 28 lbs walking around the little city of Oxnard and climbing stairs to a 3rd floor apartment when I went to live with my Navy son for all of 2006. I also cut out all sodas! Drink lots of water and tea. Now, I am back home and there are no stairs to climb on a daily basis. I'm afraid I'll put the weight back on.

I'm 23 years old, and a law student. My study habits are not condusive to eating well-balanced meals, and that's something I'll have to watch. Also, staying away from fast food, and potato chips (my vice). Somehow I ballooned since starting law school, and I'd like to get a grip on it, before it's too late.

I don't think there was ever a time when someone would have said I was slender or even average. Of course, that makes me the cutest baby there ever was but...I'm not a baby anymore! I'd like to be less self-conscious and happier with myself.

I'm 25. I recently moved to a big city by myself and have struggled to get motivated to lose weight. I've been overweight the majority of my life. I lost weight on weight watchers before but gained it back when I wasn't able to attend meetings for a year. Since then I've gained back more and am now at my all time highest weight. I'm a social worker and often have to educate clients on nutrition and diet but would love to be a better example for them.

I love to travel and be active, but I have been letting my asthma hold me back more than it should.

I am a 24 year old lab assistant/training coordinator. I live in New Hampshire, and love the active camping/hiking/swimming lifestyle, but often feel I can't keep up or do enough because of my weight. I've always been on the heavy side, but after the first two years of my now 3 1/2 year relationship, I started gaining weight. I'm 5'10" and up to 265. When I met my boyfriend, I weighed 210!! I've actually lost 5 pounds in the last three weeks, just by starting to watch what I eat more and not eating so late at night.
|
I had gastric bypass surgery on June 24, 2003. I lost a total of 140 pounds. I then gained back 40 pounds. I've now lost 15 of those pounds and I'd like to lose the other 25. I've been doing Weight Watchers since January. I've just started incorporating exercise into my daily routine for the past 3 weeks. Now I've hit a plateau. I've lost no pounds in the last 3 weeks, but I have lost 17.5 inches. I know, I should be happy abou the inches, but I'm ready to see the scale move again.

I've been a WW member since my youngest son was born in 1984, and I have been a WW Lifetime Member since 1985. I am now 67 years old and getting to the point where it's harder to lose the weight. Also, it's not healthy for me to carry more weight than I have to. I have four children, all grown, three married, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. I work three days a week, and on my days off, I love to sew (making clothing for the new granddaughter).

28, Female, Married... I've tried to lose weight and given up more times than I want to count. It's finally time to do this for real but not just because I'll look better, but because I'll be healthier, happier, and have more energy too!
|
I've always been slim and active. As a graduate student I rarely have "free" time, but I like to go out....play sports...and have fun. I'm not much of a dieter...I'm much better at limiting portion sizes (or I used to be).

I'm 41 years old, single and female. I live in Boise, Idaho and work in the Accounting field. I have been using the Weight Watchers point system on my own, but am hoping the accountability of a group will help me to stick with it better. I am in a Biggest Loser competition with 7 friends to see who can lose the biggest percentage of body weight between April 1 and June 1. There is $250 at stake for the winner! I'd love to have the cash but I'd love even more to lose 30 lbs in the next 2 months. Unfortunately for another 2 weeks I have a grueling work schedule and no time to excercise.
|
I lost 45 lbs on WW about 18 months ago. I was healthier than I had been in years and was exercising daily. I had started roller blading and had been losing weight and gaining muscle at a fantastic rate because of it.....then I fell and broke my arm....and started gaining weight again because i was unable to prepare healthy meals and exercise was out of the question. Sadly, I gained back 30 lbs. But the good news is that I'm ready to get started again....and I'm in the right frame of mind to get going.

I was not an overweight child, but at the age of 12 I weighed in at 126 and gained 10lbs every year basically till age 29. I gained the xtra 40lbs and a baby and never lost the xtra weight and have been this weight since then give or take.

So sick of struggling with these extra pounds for the past 10 years! Haven't been able to lose them on my own, so here I am. My loves are traveling, languages, healthcare, botany, friends, family, the outdoors, independent film and music, spirituality and anything I find beautiful, inspiring or fascinating. I'm 26, have a BA & BS and work at a major hospital on an HIV research project, coordinating the clinical side of collecting blood from hundreds of HIV+ patients. I love medicine but failed to get into Medical School this year and am now refocusing on nursing and/or public health degrees. I walk to work every day but don't get enough hard-core exercise. I am prone to eating when I'm happy and then feeling guilty later. I'll always love food, but I think I can learn to temper my consumption with some reasonable restraint.

Single mom of 4 now 2 are out on own. Really have many things keeping me away from taking care of myself. I am back to only getting enjoyment from eating.

I'm single and 40 years young. I work with children and love every minute of it. I have struggled with my weight all my life. The South Beach Plan was the first plan I actually loved and stuck with for any length of time. I started the plan in Jan '04... lost 30 lbs... stuck with the plan until Feb '05 when personal issues brought back old habits and I gained the weight back... Now in Apirl of '07 I've decided to give the WW plan a go ... I prefer to look at it as a lifestyle change rather than a diet and hope to remain healthy for the rest of my days.

|
I am a 44 year old Mom of a teenage daughter. I want to be a role model for her while she develops. Most importantly, I need to change my lifestyle. Carrying excess weight makes me tired and I have low self esteem; unusual for me as I work with the public and others do not see me that way so I need to dig deep and learn to love and appreciate myself.

I'm 24, a retail manager. I'm honest, funny, pretty laidback. I like to be active, particularly outdoors, but I cannot control my eating. I'm relatively new to the area I live, so I don't know enough people to keep myself occupied, so I think I eat out of boredom.

I am 31 years ols and a mom of an 8 year old girl. I am 5'1 and weight 130. I would like to get down to 110 but really want to lose all the fat. I really am looking to firm up and get rid of my jiggles. I work full time and seem to have no time to workout. I cant go to the gym because I dont want my daughter to stay in the gym daycare after I pick her up from regular daycare. I have no motivation to do workout tapes...just not my thing. So i am saving to buy a treadmill. Until then i am looking at what i eat and how much.

I am a teacher in a new position this year (very stressful), and a single mom of an 8 year old daughter. I have full custody, but am in the midst of a very touchy custody battle. I'm just staying afloat financially with a lot of help from family... read- single mom, teacher, paying crazy legal expenses, and have an ex who is behind over $30,000 in child support! I have struggled with my weight since childhood, never enjoyed working out, but did dance and loved cheerleading in high school. I am an emotional eater. My weight has bounced up and down forever.

I am 38 years old. Married for 6 years. A mother of a very active 3.5 year old red headed boy. I don't really have any hobbies of any kind. Oh...and I recently quit smoking...yea me! It's been almost 2 weeks and I'm not going back this time. This is another reason why I need this group. I do not want to gain any of my weight back just because I no longer smoke.
|
I know why I'm fat. I know I need to eat better. I know I need to work out. But I just can't stay motivated enough, regardless of how many times I tell myself that I look terrible, I feel terrible, and how much I wish I didn't have the extra flub around my belly.

I'm 39 years old and over the course of the past 5 years I have gained 30 lbs. I have been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and once on medication I was hoping things would improve, but no such luck. I'm now trying to dedicate myself to eating better and trying to loose this weight. I'm very unhappy with myself right now.

I've been overweight my whole life. My highest weight was 260 and now I'm down to 220, so I've lost 40, but it's been slow going from here. I work at Starbucks, so it's especially hard for me to look over the pastries and the drinks. They're so good!
|
I've been heavy all my life, so I'm used to it...however, I want to live a long and healthy life, and I need to commit to a program and lifestyle that will ensure I make it! :)
|
I am a 26-year old girl, the reason why I join Peertrainer is I DO WANNA GO BACK TO MY GOLDEN TIMES! It makes me feel so bad when I see my pictures which were taken 2-3 years ago.
I guess you will know how those feeling can hurt a little young girl.

|
Well I just turned 34 and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I work full time as well as being a full time student. I tend to use the excuse that I don't have time to exercise. I do have a busy life. However, I need to stop making excuses and do something about my weight.
|
I am married and have two children, 6 and 5. I work fulltime. I have never been a "skinny" person. I am at my highest weight I've ever been. I even weighed less than this after I had my daughter (youngest). I've really let myself go in the last couple years, how depressing. I want to lose weight for my children and be a good example to them.

I am a 57 years old woman, and have been battling my weight, but not in huge quantities, since my teens. Right now I am 5'2" and weigh 189 lbs, and I would like to go down to about 150 (WW says I should be 140 but I've never been that thin). Five years ago I lost 23 lbs at WW during 5 months, but gained them back. I feel like my metabolism is at zero, and am working on revving it up. I don't eat that much, but want to get back to counting points to make sure I don't go past the daily allotted points. And I need support!!!
|
I am 32, married 1 1/2 yrs, my husband is pretty lazy and likes junk food and it's rubbed off on me. I've gained 40 pounds since we got married and I was heavy then.
I want to lose enough to get rid of all my clothes and get brand new ones!

I currently work as a hairstylist, and I am hoping that one day I will not have to work for a corperation but will be able to infuse my own ideas into a Salon I can call my own. I wrote this when I first started on this site back in May 2007 and now I am proud to say that I own that salon now here in June of 2009!!I Being overweight ruins my confidence and energy that I need for this business adventure. And my work is cut out for me since I am currently take medicine for an underactive thyroid. This does seem to hinder my efforts slightly, but I refuse to continue to let this dibilitate me from achieving my goals. I will not hold that as an excuse any longer. I am also currently enrolled in school and I am trying to obtain a Master's in MassCommunication's and a Bachelors in Psychology, so that one day I can become a college professor. INeedless to say, I need a tremendous amount of energy in order to sustain the hard work it's going to involve while working and obtaining my degree. I've always been able to multitask and I think that if you can dream it you can achieve it. I want to look fabulous abd feel good, and as a salon owner and Professos it's imperative that these goals are met. I have also considering personal training on the side and teaching people that they too can achieve their goals as well. I want to be a role model for other women who have succumbed to eatting out of stress or fear. I was under a tremendous amount of stress and depression when I was married to my xhusband. My new husband trys to help with all my efforts and dreams, and loves me for who I am, but knows that I am not happy living like this at this moment. I will never know what I am capable of if I don't merely try, so I will try. I will not give up, even if that means starting over again 10,000 times and I would like to mention that I started on this site a very looong time ago and I am starting over on this journey once more. Yeah!!!!!!!!! I can and willl do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have two beautiful children and I gained alot of weight with them!! I am 5'2" and was up to 192 lbs when my son was born. I've since lost about 30 lbs. I'm sad enough about the stretch marks I'd like to at least feel like confident in my clothes (which I still don't fit into most of)
|
I am married with two kids, am a SAH wife, mom, Christian and homeschool. I feel that now is a great opportunity to really focus on me. I am the type that back seats my own needs for others, or give in too easily because someone else is pushing their needs. I want to be more assertive with my needs. I also feel like it is high time to focus on me so I can be the best I can be personally for me, and therefore be the best I can be for my husband and my kids.

I am a 33 year old female, married with 3 kids. I work part time outside of the home and have 10 jobs inside of the home :)! I get stressed out easily and run to food to calm my nerves. Since I have so much going on, it's easier for me to eat out and not exercise. What is motivating me to change is that I can hardly walk, I never have energy and I feel that due to my eating habits, I am losing brain power. I used to be an extremely beautiful and intelligent women and now I feel like a huge dumb blob. I want to keep up with my kids and keep my husband attracted to me.

I am 5'7" and 20 years old. I am a runner but unfortunately was just diagnosed with shin splints after a bone scan which really hurt being able to run off the end of the school year diet during exams and parties and such. Last summer I ran with my neighbor's dog a lot, Gus, he is this huge labradoodle who is so fun and whenever I go visit seems so upset I am not there to run with him because I can't :-( the only way i know to shed weight seriouysly has been running. Last summer I was on steroids for a rash I had from a dru interaction and gained a bunch of weight. By the end of summer I was running 6 miles a day on average and slimmed down to 135 lbs which I felt confident at. I am working full time in an internship so I sit at a desk but I have been excercising in the companies nice gym everymorning at 6 am before work. I am hoping this helps. I have been doing their spinning class which really works me hard, last week one guy had to quit before the end of class. I also have a horse who I love to ride after work and on weekends. I love going upnorth to my cottage and waterskiing and swimming.

I'm a 60 year old retiree who recently moved with my husband to a rural Texas county. I get plenty of outdoor activity since we have a small ranch with cows and goats, but I find it's too tempting to just fall into the high carb, chicken-fried steak kind of lifestyle that's the norm here. I've only gained about 10 lbs, but I want to reverse this trend before it gets out of hand.

I'm 21 years old working full time trying to get my ass back to school!! My work schedule is crazy and quite honestly I HATE my job and am looking to start anew completely.

I lost 20 pounds four years ago on Weight Watchers and have gained about half of it back.
I was a vegetarian for 7 years, but recently started eating fish again. When I went back to WW meetings last summer, I just couldn't get back on the program. Since I moved in with my boyfriend 2 years ago, I've found it really hard to keep the calories down. I'm 5'6" and 32 years old.

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 recently got married on May 12th to my hero, my Marine. I work two jobs and attend graduate school for mental health counseling. It seems that it's easy to give everyone else advice on weight loss and self-esteem but hard to listen to myself at times! (Hopefully that is why we have one another)

I never had a weight problem until I started having children. I could lose the baby weight eventually, but it took lots of effort. I have 4 children and after #4, I almost lost all the baby weight before I began going up on the scale. Now I am bigger than I was with each of my pregnancies and I feel each extra pound!
|

I use to like to play sports and have gotten away from being a participant to being a spectator. I like the outdoors and anything to do with the outdoors. Fishing, hunting, mowing the yard, working in a garden,. However I said I like these things, not that i do them a whole lot. i can't seem to get motivated sometimes. I always have an excuse not to do them. I use to love to ride a bike places. I got away from that for a long time. I have a new bike that i have ridden maybe a few times.

I'm 20 and I attend Georgia Tech and the University of West Georgia. I've never dieted before, as I've always been an athlete. As classes have gotten harder, I've scaled back on athletics.

My goal is to get down to my pre pregnancy weight. I'm counting points with weight watchers. I gained 60 pounds with the pregnancy and when I came home from the hospital I was 180. I've slowly been losing weight by pushing the stroller around in my neighborhood but got stuck in the 170's for a good 8 months or so. I've decided to really work at it and have been back on the WW program since January 4th, 2008.

In Jan 2008 I weighed in at 230 pounds (I am 5'5"). Since then, I have dropped 65 pounds and currently weigh in at 165. I have about 35 left to go. I hope to hit goal by early/mid November.
I've lost the weight (and will continue to lose it) through a combo of Weight Watchers and a ton of hours at the gym! I run/walk 5-6 hours per week, and do strength training 3x per week (one of those is with a trainer).
Beyond the weight, I want to start running competitively ... I'm goign to start with a 5k in early November. Long term (next Spring) I am considering spring triathalons.
I am a different person now!

I am a SAHM. I am 34 and will be 35 in Jan I can't believe it. I have a 9 yo boy, 4 girl yo both in school full time this year. YEAH! And a 15 yo step son whom I adore. I am married almost 10 years. I was never heavy as a kid and did not become overweight until my second child. I gained 70 lbs with my first, but lost almost all of it and 78 with my second. I got down almost to my goal weight and love to work out then I got RA and went on lots of Meds and gained some back. Plus the pain and stiffness in my body prevents me from exercising. I take 3 steps forward and 2 back. But I have been feeling good and am ready to get back on WW, which I do even when I am not doing it anyway so hopefully this time I will be able to get it all off. I miss the way my clothes used to fit, no lumps and bumps. I havent worn shorts or a bathing suit in public in years. I know after a baby your body changes and I am ok with that but I want my confidence back that came with my old body.

I just had a baby and was super healthy during my pregnancy. Now that I'm home and nursing, I'm so hungry and tired which causes me to snack too much. I need to pay more attention to what I'm eating and make sure I'm not eating out of boredom, as a way to stay awake or due to stress.

I am 58, married 27 years to my best friend. I have 2 kids 20 and 24. I have a home-based craft business and love creating. I joined WW in January of 2008, lost 50 lbs in a year and then joined the staff of Weight Watchers where I now work as a receptionist and love every minute of it!

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.

Brainy 38-yr-old who needs to lose about half my body weight. Long history and habits have been keeping me in a state of on-going resistance, with short-term successes followed 2-3 weeks later by quitting and the start of the next cycle.
~ IMPORTANT IDEAS ~
(1) Allow for the possibility that this program / this time can lead to long-term change (despite past evidence to the contrary) -- aim to start totally fresh, with beginner's mind.
(2) We always live up to our expectations, not our desires.
(3) Our expectations are based on past results (which are based on past actions).
(4) The way to break the cycle of future expectations / beliefs coming from past failures is to take LOTS of SMALL positive actions to bolster up fledgling motivation and self-belief.

71 years old but active and fit. Where did those 10 lbs come from?

I am a 43 year old single mom to an awesome two year old little boy. His father is not in the picture so I am doing it alone without financial support. I have just started back to school online and have 60 weeks of classes to get my bachelors in business administration. I work full time and my son is in an awesome daycare. I have a treadmill that I try to meet up with but have had trouble doing so with so much on my p,ate. Speaking of plates I love to eat!
