I'm a 35-year-old professional, a foodie and great cook who loves to exercise and is quite fit despite still needing to drop about 20 pounds. I have successfully lost 35 or so pounds on Weight Watchers over the past few years and right now am bouncing between 154 and 160. I want to break through 150 and ultimately get into the low 130s. It would feel like a miracle, but I know I can do it.

I ama 50-year old woman, divorced, living with my boyfriend (that term seems so juvenile but what else is there?). I have two kids in their 20's, not living with us. I'm on my third pass in Weight Watchers. I am an accountant and spend long hours sitting in front of a computer. My firm is chock full of free, delicious, fattening food.

I am a mom to two children, ages 12 and 14. I have been with my partner for over 10 years. We have 6 dogs (labs) and 5 cats. I am an family nurse practitioner currently working in geriatrics and palliative care. I am back in school for massage therapy.

I'm a single mom to a DD (Age 5) & work a FT desk job. I struggle with the energy to even get the necessities done so healthy food and exercise often get kicked to the side, although I'm very nutrition label conscious, organic- and GMO-aware, etc. I'm 5'2 with a naturally muscular hourglass build so even at my thinnest I never really felt thin enough. Before pregnancy, my weight fluctuated b/w 117 and 135, but usually settled at 125.
I've slowly come down from my pregnancy weight of apx. 180 to 140. The lowest I've weighed post-pregnancy was 135, which I didn't maintain long. I'm an all or nothing type, and am used to being able to not work out for months then resume and quickly be back at my previous level. That approach has only gotten me shin splints and increased my frustration since becoming a mom :-(

As a single mom, I feel like I've been in survival mode for the past decade -- putting myself through college, launching a career, providing for my son.
I'm finally at the point in my life where I can take a breath. Breathe. Om. Aaaaaaah . . . I've done a lot of spiritual and emotional work to get to where I am today and I'm ready for my outside to match my divine inside.

I am a 46 years old and I have struggled with my weight for years, and I have had success with other programs, but I have a hard time sticking with them for the long term. In the last few years I have had more and more joint pain, and I am hoping that the Fresh Start Cleanse will pin point whether this is from my diet or not.

Hi, I am a 48 yo mother of two, 14 and 16, I work part time as a disability support worker. I constantly go up and down quite dramatically with my weight. In January I couldn't lose the usual winter weight gain and discovered that I have hashimotos syndrome, which is an autoimmune disorder that effects your thyroid hormones, basically my metabolism had halted and I was severely hypothyroid. It has taken me 8 months to get it under control with taking thyroxine but I now need to shift the weight which is very hard as my body is now quite resistant to weightloss.
I would also like to regain some fitness and due to aching joints my first exercise goal is to be able to walk for 30 minutes 3 times per week.

I'm 33, 155 pounds, 5'2". Goal is to be between 115-125 pounds. Looks easy, is hard. I have Lupus diagnosed at age 11 and has always been that extra hurdle to get through. Being aware of all actions WITHOUT judgment, I find, is the key to my ability to change. The without judgment part is the challenge! :)

I have a pretty clean diet. Never fried food, never fast food, ever. But I was eating whey (dairy) protein and protein bars until I looked at it one day and it hit me how processed it was. ew.

Forty pounds ago I thought I was fat. Most others didn't, but I spent most of my adult life hovering in a 15 pound range, although never stayed consistently at a place where I felt "thin". In the last 15 months, I've put on 30 of the aforementioned 40 pounds, and am extremely unhappy and feeling achy and unwell. I don't want to know what my formerly-stellar blood counts currently look like.
