I am a mom of two daughters (5 & 10). I am a WW Lifetimer, and I reached my goal three years ago. However, I wish I had made my goal lower because I still would like to lose 10-15 more pounds. I've tried many diets and programs with no success, except for WW. I can't get in the right mindset anymore, and I hope you guys can help. I'm sick of counting points and thinking about losing weight all of the time. I'm obsessive with it, and I want to get past it once and for all!

I will be turning 46 this at the end of this year. I have a very full life that I shares with a fantastic husband, four teenagers, and a career as a financial advisor. Oh, I almost forgot: two dogs, one cat and a fish as well. I get overwhelmed sometimes, and I sink in to low self esteem from time to time.

I'm 57 years old, married with one daugher in the army and posted in Korea, work as a manager and love to garden, read, sew, knit, hike and swim, and hang out at my farm.

37 year old attorney in need of serious weight loss. Just diagnosed with Graves Disease - hyperthyrodism, but unlike 99% of those with this illness, I have not had weight loss as a symptom. Anyway, I am not able to do a lot physically yet, but plan to start walking in my neighborhood this evening after the sun starts to set.

I am a 41 year old entrepreneur and mom of two teenagers (19 & 15). My life has changed a lot over the last several years including having a home-based business which limits my movement quite a bit. I've noticed I move less and eat more resulting in me being about 30 pounds overweight. arrgghh! The weight gain has definitely impacted my self esteem. It is time to make a change!

I am 30 years old and the heaviest I have ever been. Weighing in at 199. I used to be such a social person, but now I can't stand to be around alot of people because I am so fat. I constantly feer that they are judging my weight as much as I am. I just want to be my old self. Someone who loves to have a good time without worrying about what other people think. I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin!

I am 51 and I guess this is suppose to be the new 31, but I feel like 71 most of the time. I have COPD and I want to live again! I quit smoling in Feb 09 so that is one marked off the list.

I am a 22 year old recent college grad who is currently working but going back to school in January to start a Masters program. I have been working from 9:30 in the morning to 9:30 at night so I dont have much time to work out although I wish I did. I don't eat much during the day but come home starving and overeat too much and it has led to recent weight gain.

I'm a 29 y.o. divorced, professional. I have a history of various issues with food. I feel that I have reasonable goal, with my first goal being to lose 23 lbs. in 3 months (related to a vacation I have planned). I am certainly seeking support, but I am also seeking an extra bit of structure.

I am a shy person. I love to have fun but usually just stay at due to my weight. I want to change myself into a happier/outgoing person and finally get rid of my medication that I have been dependent on for a number of years.

I'm a 44 yr. old mother of 3. I work long hours (standing) as a surgical first assistant in open heart surgery.I have always put others first & have felt selfish if I focus on myself. My weight has gone up & down for the last 18 years. The most success that I've had was in 2009 when I joined Curves, started doing Zumba 4-5 x week, and started eating healthier. I lost 58 lbs. I kept the weight off for almost 3 yrs. I fell off the bandwagon & haven't done anything to "jump" back on. I have gained ALL of my weight back, in addition to 11 more lbs. I'm tired of being tired & feeling like crap. I need to do this now!!

I'm a 20 year old college student with a whole life ahead of her who is not willing to be held back because she is uncomfortable in her own skin. I'm not going to let a number weigh me down and define when I'm done. I am going to change my lifestyle to be a happier and healthier me.
