40 year old mother of FIVE - - ages 12, 14, 19, 21 & 23 with two (and a third on the way) grandbabies!
I am an "out" lesbian in a fairly new relationship after recently ending another of 3 years.
An auto accident two years ago - along with an extreme dive in self esteem and motivation - has led to significant weight gain and an ongoing "pity party" which I need to escape!

I have recently started working out about 5-6 days a week and am eating much healthier but have a lot of slips ups. I need to stay motivated and stick with mostt of the time eating healthy!

My name is Raven. I am a senior in high school (in the next month), and I don't want to live unhealthy and in risk of so many unhealthy habits. Around middle school is when i became noticable of my weight gain. When i reached 8th grade i wieghed 205Ibs. I was teased and enrolled myself in athletics to try and comfort myself with some kind of pysical enforcement. Because i did so i lost 25 since then. I am now 17 5'5 and i weigh 179. But my weight has always been of and on for the last past years. Right before I joined i calculated my BMI which turned out to be 40.0, classified as Morbidly Obese or Class III extreme obesity. I'm the only one out of four children who struggles with my weight. I don't nderstand why when i believed to have eaten as much as they did! When I do try and become involved with fitness my family thinks its a joke. So i came here today to find a different approach. One that'll help and motivate me to go beyond. And to find a team and friends as well.

IN the last three years, I have lost 125 pounds using another website, MYPLATE. I am over 70, a widow, a retired teacher; and most of my life I have eaten a nutritionally good diet. I believe that most often it has been stress that prevented my losing the weight that too much good food while under great stress had caused! Now, the stress is gone and I have found a successful way to lose weight. I joined here for the support to finish the job.

I love to cook and love to eat. Potato chips are my weakness. I don't mind getting up early to go work out. But when I get there, I get lazy.
|
I am a "snacker". I have had this addiction since childhood.
I like chips, bread, crackers, and nuts. I can't help myself, but with the help of the group, I hope to break this terrible habit once and for all!

I'm 22, college student, and mother of a 6 month old little girl. I've struggled with my weight all of my life, although I've never been as big as I am now, and I'm very unhappy about it. And I'm here to change! I want to feel like the person I am. I want to be able to keep up with my daughter when she gets older. And i'd really love to start dancing again.

I have struggled with staying motivated. I am my own worst enemy, last year I was doing great... Working out faithfully and was down 28lbs. Now I am back up. Once again I am 75lbs from my goal. I had 3 kids back to back 13 months a part but they are now in school so I can no longer use the "I just had a baby" line with regards to my weight. Lol

I'm a 43 y/o female, mother of 3 adult children and I have 3 beautiful grandchildren. Have always been active as a child but find that in the past few months I've been living a sedentary lifestyle, the stressors of life have taken away my motivation to exercise.

I am 44 years old and currently weigh more than I have ever weighed (even while pregnant). I've been told my medication can cause weight gain, not accepting that as an excuse. I have yo-yo dieted my entire life, now it is time for a life style change!
