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.

I am a 28 year old female who is currently looking for work after being laid off in mid December. I love to read books and cook good food for my friends. Ironically I love the outdoors, but it seems I havent been out there much in the last couple years, despite growing up in the country and being outside almost everyday of my youth. I am 6'1 so unfortunatly when I gain weight I can hide it, i.e. lie to myself for quite a while. I am currently 182.5 pounds with 33.5% of me being fat according to my evil digital scale. I have gained over 20 pounds since leaving school 5 years ago and I dont like that I am tired and worn out far too much.

I'm 35, 5'2" and currently 168 lbs. I've struggled to stay thin most of my life but this is the most I've ever weighed (by 10 lbs). Since 19, my weight has fluctuated from 93 lbs (too thin) to current 162. Mostly hovering around an average of 127 lbs. In Jan. 2005, I weighed 152 lbs and started working out with a trainer and eating healthy. By Sept. 2005, I'd lost 35 lbs and was down to 17% body fat. I was in the best shape of my life. Since then a lot has happened: my father passed, big relationship issues, bought my first house and tore my ACL. I slowly stopped exercising and started stress eating and so here I am again. I've started getting back into the gym (a little limited due to ACL surgery in Feb. 2007) but am just starting out really.

I am a stay at home mom with 2 children. My girls are 6 and 9 mos. I never had a weight issue until I had children. I have been married for eight years now and am hoping for many more!! My husband is in the Marine Corps and it is a constant reminder of where I am now and where I need to be. He is also a very thin man who is having difficulty gaining weight so it is making it difficult for me to lose it. I Love food!! I was my thinnest after boot camp in 1997; 145 lbs!!! I have also noticed that my weight is a contributing factor to my depression and is not only affecting myself but also my family!! I am a Christian that would like to not only lose weight but get my relationship back with the Lord!!! I am a fun person and love to joke around but now is the time to get serious and stay motivated!!! It is time to get it all in check. If I have a clean home, a sound mind and am on my way to a healthier me, I feel I will not need meds to help me through my depression. It's time to love myself!!!

I'm 32, and a mother of two beautiful girls, 3 year old "Bitty" and 2 month old "Cake" (obviously not their real names). I'm a teacher off on maternity leave with baby. I've always been overweight, between 200-260 during my adult life. Right now I weigh 225, but right after the baby was born I was at 215. I'm a strange case who LOSES weight during and immediately after pregnancy. Trouble is, I can't keep it off.

I live in the Twin Cities in MN. i am 5'10 with a bubbly, sarcastic, funny demeanor!

I am a 25-year-old student studying archaeology and geology. I also work part time in at a chiropractic clinic. I've spent a lot of time eating fast food, and I'd like to become consistent with my meals. Exercise has been intermittent in the past with a couple months of regular exercising followed by less and less until it falls out of my schedule completely. Consistency in this area is also a goal.
|
I am 38, and have let food control my life. I moved from Australia to Vancouver with my husband and 2 children (7 and 6). I hate overeating but it has worked for me for so long that doing something different will be challenging but needs to be done.
|
I'm work full time, and have a two year old. I feel like I should weigh, like 50lbs, but for whatever reason I'm really struggling.

I am a 44 year old mom of three kids - two teenage boys and a dd who is 11. I need to lose about 50 pounds. I have a small frame and have slowly gained weight through the births of my children (all c-sections), lack of activity, and chronic fatigue. I hate being heavy though and want to get it off. I have to work slowly, as I have unstable blood sugar and get tired very easily. I once lost over 30 pounds on Weight Watchers, but put it back on pretty quickly because we moved and I quit going to meetings. Right now, I am just trying to cut back and walk everyday - just a short distance to get myself back into shape enough for more exercise. I also attend college part time, as I would love to finally get my business degree.

I am 35 years old and I need to lose weight to lower my blood pressure and be healthier. I have sciatica and I will be starting some PT for that soon. I hope to be able to get back to the gym ASAP.

I'm 30 and married. I started gaining a lot of weight during a very stressful period before the wedding. I had to buy another dress because my first one didn't fit. Despite what a glorious and happy day it was, I get quite sad when I look at the pictures and see how big I look. I'd gained even more since then, and I have been actively trying to lose it since September. I am currently at 205 lbs. My highest weight was 230 lbs.
|
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 have struggled with weight most of my life. At my highest weight, I was 260 pounds. I had a modified version of standard weight loss surgery. The modification is that the surgery only changed my stomach size and nothing to do with my digestive track. I have lost a great deal of weight, but I am still not at goal and won't get there without addressing food and fitness.

I'm a newly wed. I work 40 - 50 hours a week as a banker. My husband is in the Navy. I know my husband loves my personality but I don't think he's really attracted to me. I really want to begin living my life instead of just going along for the ride. I want to get control again and learn to enjoy life.

I'm a 25 year old work-from-home artist. My life is conducive to vegging out in front of the tv with a huge bowl of snacks. Even though I eat healthy foods, I am a bingy emotional eater, and can go WAY overboard with even the healthiest foods. I want to change my relationship between my food and body, and enjoy rather than loathe the process.
|
I am married, have (look at the ID) five dogs AND one cat. My husband never says anything, but i KNOW i am no longer attractive to him. And, i cant find any clothes that look special in my size. Also, we are needing some extra money and i am looking for a part time job and feel like employers are turned off by my appearance. I want to look nicer and FEEL like I am HEALTHIER too!

Forty something, married, mother of two adult daughters. Vegetarian approximately 10 months. The last year my body has seen some drastic changes. In June I quit a 20 year pack a day smoking habit, a month later, intending to participate in Meatless Mondays, I ended up going vegetarian. Last month I made the full jump to vegan. While I'm more than pleased with my choices, and am careful to get all the nutrients I need, the fact is my lifestyle is sedentary. I used to hike and quit smoking to make the hiking easier. But somewhere along the line I gained twenty pounds and lost energy and motivation to move. I quit smoking and went vegan for a healthier, happier me as well as a healthier planet, but the extra pounds and loss of energy feel anything but healthy or happy.

I have always had a great metabolism but now I'm 35 and I have become less and less active. I've tried hard at different periods to lose weight but nothing seems to work and I give up after a couple of months.
I'm also very busy so it's hard to find time for the exercise I know I need. I work full time as an exec. asst. but my fiancee and I have our own photography business as well. When I get home from work, I always have so much to do and I'm constantly exhausted. Exercise? Yeah right!
|
I am married, for eight years, and I have 3 daughters. I work part-time and volunteer whenever I can. I am a "Big Sister," I help a friend with her exotic animal ranch whenever I can, participate in whatever I can at my daughters school, and recently signed up to be part of my county Repulican Women's Coalition. Currently, we have a dog, 3 cats and 17 bunnies that I deal with daily. I am always, always, always tired......24/7! I have been for over a decade now.
|
I'm 33 and started gaining the weight about ten years ago when I switched from very active, on-my-feet jobs and an active lifestyle to sitting at a desk all day. I'm married without kids, but with a cat and two rats. My husband used to be a Marine but put on 80lbs during cancer treatments, so he's in the same boat I am!
