My name is Gloria, I’m a 60 yr divorced African American woman, 5’3 and 213 lbs with grown children. I need too lose at least 80 lbs. I tried to attack this problem in everyway I could, first with get all the issues that kept me from reaching my weight loss goals. I was surprised that there were so many, from my friends who didn’t want to work on eating healthy for it was easier to eat out or pop something in the microwave than the old fashion, of cooking a meal. I work in a department that has catering luncheon/meeting almost every day, so there are plenty of leftovers, not necessary what I need, since pasta and rice with chicken and pastries are the norm. I found that my activities where limited to going to work and going home, once at home I watched TV for a minute then went to sleep shortly after eating dinner.
I haven’t any medical problems except my weight; my sister is diabetic and overweight. I don’t want to experience the disease if I don’t have too. That is why I need to get it under control. I should be ashamed to say that I coordinated a Biggest Loser Group here in my department with 20 people, some nurses, mostly administrative support. The up front dues are $40.00 and the person who loses the largest percent of weight loss after 12 weeks get the money that is $800 which is a nice sum.
I belong to the university gym and have started to go more frequently in the early morning before I go to work out on the elliptical 20 to 25 minutes and then try using some of the other circuit weight loss equipment. My favorite weight loss problem is Hilton Head Over 35 Metabolic Diet, which the book is hard to find but really gives you a lot of good food to eat, but requires that you do a lot of preparation or cooking and a 30 minute walk after two of your meals. I have a co-worker who has loss 100 lbs. on Weight Watchers but I’m not a Point/Flex Person. So, going with what I know has worked for me.
I’m a talker as you can see; need to be a walker/loser, so help me with any and all the support I can

I've inherited bad eating habits from them when i moved back home about a year ago and gained the 30 pounds that I lost while I was living on my own. I'm usually motivated the most when I'm around my peers who are eager to stay focused.

I'm funny, witty, sarcastic, open-minded and silly. I'm 30 but I look and act a lot younger and am often mistaken for an 18-21 year old which I won't deny I LOVE. I used to be in great shape but I guess you could say I "let myself go" over the last several years. I tend to hide it very well so people don't believe how much I've put on when I tell them. None of my friends realize how self-conscious I am at the moment but it's really starting to affect my life negatively, particularly when it comes to intimacy.

More later - but I am a relatively happy 51 year old with pounds to lose in all the right places. I am a single female - hoping to cope with emotional eating and praying to find the right guy (at long last). I have been mostly vegetarian since my later 30's - my doctor suggested this way of eating to help combat fibroids naturally.
Lost 50 pounds two years ago and increasingly lost control - looking to regain balance in the midst of extreme stress.
Blessings to our group!!

I'm 29 years old, 6ft and approximately 215lbs. I'm a social worker with a child welfare agency, so routines and regimens are hard for me to follow. For as long as I can remember I've always been on the heavier side, and I'd accepted it. I desire a change, and I'm ready to accept the challenge, for a healthier me!
