I'm 43, married, busy working mom of 3 kids ages 9, 6 and 31/2. Never had a problem losing my baby weight until I had #3 in 2010. Have struggled ever since to lose 15 lbs and thanks to a brutal winter, now 20 lbs. I work out pretty regularly, but need a diet overhaul and revamped fitness routine. I'm ready!

I JUST turned 46. I am 5'6'' & I have a young spirit & enjoy life! I just hate my weight now! I'm unmarried and have no children. (Not my choice, just life.) I fluxuate between 243 and 253. I decided to try this plan after looking up points for Weight Watchers for a sandwhich I was eating. Peertrainer popped up. I was hesitant to join. I wanted to join a group who understands what it is like being 200 + pounds and struggling. I belonge to a Weight Watchers @ work group, but it dissovled due to lack of participation. I HATE exercise. I am struggling!

I am a 34yr old wife and mother of 4. I am a homemaker. I homeschool my children. I have always been very active, energetic and outgoing. I never worried about my weight, nor did I have to watch what I ate. I did not believe in dieting, and was always active enough that I had no need for an exercise routine. All of that changed suddenly 4years ago when my world was turned upside down. I unexpectedly became severely fatigued, tired, weak, always cold. all with no explanation from my doctors. No matter how much I exercise, no matter how much I diet, I just kept gaining weight from my normal weight of 150lb to my heaviest of 215lb. Until a month ago, when my doctor finally started me on hypothyroidism treatment. 3wks into treatment and I am finally starting to feel alive again, and am beginning to lose weight.

I try to do a good cleanse at least once a year, but I also need to lose and keep my weight at a healthy level.

I'm 52, married with 3 children (22, 20 & 16!). I gained 15 pounds in 2013. I've never been this heavy without giving birth!
|
|
I work in an office environment and mostly sit for at least 9 hrs. I have joined other weight loss programs and managed to lose at least 30lbs. My problem is staying till I reach my goal as well as keeping off the weight. I always end up gaining it back. I know what I need to do but then get tired of the same foods and routines that I always go back to my poor eating habits. Would like to be able to get support so that my motivation is always there.

I am a 43 year old mom of an active 9 year old daughter, and an RN. I work 25 hours/week, so I should have time to work out and plan healthy eating! I have lost weight with WW before, and also a medically supervised program. I know what to do, but I struggle with consistency, and have realized that I need accountability. So I am hopeful that I can find this with Peertrainer. Our family does a lot of boating in the summer, and I really want to feel better in my board shorts this summer!

I'm Angie. I'm 40. I'm in the midst of a journey that started at 300 lbs, took me down to 205, then back up to 259, and now I'm working my way back down again. I'm studying to be a health coach and I want to help severely obese women who are on fixed incomes, by offering my services at a sliding scale fee. I want to be someone they can relate to!

I'm 31 years old, 5'4, 160 pounds and I often feel that I use my weight as an excuse for not taking the next steps in my life. I have grit and determination when it comes to my career, but not when it comes to fighting for my personal life. I'm trying to overcome that, I'm taking a big leap and moving to Australia in May. :)

I'm 53, about 5' 7" and living in Albuquerque, NM. Looking to lose some health issues and feel better.
I'm currently dealing with chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue, mild fibromyalsia, hormone imbalance, and inflammation. I have a feeling most of these are connected and will be quelled or eliminated with smarter dietary & movement choices.

I'm originally from Puerto Rico but have been living in Jacksonville, FL for the past 25 years. Love outdoor activities!
|
|

I am 29 years old and love the outdoors. I'm generally fairly active but somewhat inconsistent. I might go a week without much exercise other than walking and an hour or two of alpine skiing a few days a week, to a few days in a row of more of higher intensity activity whether it's skate skiing, alpine ski touring, mountain biking, or road biking.
I am highly interested in functional and integrative medicine. Last summer I went back to school full time in order to pursue a career in this field. I am currently wrapping up prerequisite coursework for accelerated programs to earn a second bachelor's degree in nursing. I will start a program this summer or fall. Ultimately my goal is to be a family nurse practitioner in functional/integrative medicine. I am participating in the cleanse in part to have personal experience in making major dietary changes and view it in part as research, though I know I will benefit from it as well.

My name is Chris. I am a 63 year old divorced mom of two adult children. I am a church organist (United Methodist, former Episcopal), choir director and private music teacher. I have become a seeker of good nutrition ever since surprise colon cancer and surgery in September 2010. Instead of chemo, I did a raw foods diet. Thank God, I have been cancer free for over 3.5 years! Unfortunately I have let myself slip back into some old eating habits, and I am determined to get back on track. My parents lived with me and my kids for several years. Both had pretty severe health problems and have gone on to their heavenly home. Lots of stress in my life with divorce (twice), single mom and caring for aging parents.....plus trying to make ends meet with church job, private teaching, weddings, funerals, etc. Sound familiar, Sarah? :-)

50 Years young. High energy. Ready to shed these lbs that have been holding me back mentally and physically.

I'm 38 and getting married soon. That, honestly, is my current motivation to lose weight, as cliche as it sounds. And summer's coming. Since I first joined peer trainer a month ago I do feel I've been doing better with diet and exercise. I'm motivated to see results, and continue with a healthy lifestyle into the future. I want to move and see firmness where there is now flab. I need to make this a priority, b/c diet and exercise take a bit of planning and prioritization.

I work at a desk all day in a busy, stressful job. I lack the discipline to exercise before or after work, --which I need to overcome. Tend to snack too much, especially during the evening. I am 6' 6", and currently about 235 lbs. Would like to get to 195, which is the weight I used to be.

I am 58 years old. I have been on diets since I was 6 months old! The last few years, I began having food sensitivities to things that had never bothered me before. A year ago, I read JJ Virgin's book, and it changed my life! I lost 40 pounds very quickly, but have been on a plateau for past 6 months. Hope this cleanse will give me the jumpstart I need to start losing again.

I am 5'9" and about 220. I live in an area of the US where there is little to do unless you travel. I moved here after a divorce and moved here not knowing anyone, so it was just me and my children. I have not made many friends and lack a true support system.
|
I am a 40 year old stay-at-home mom with two boys, 7 and 5 years old. I have been increasing in clothing size at least 1x per year since I weaned my youngest son. I try to eat healthy but haven't paid a lot of attention to portions or calories. I allow myself regular sugar indulgences and drink a Coke a day to help me get through the day without a nap. I've been struggling with intense fatigue for about 4 years. I've tried to exercise but obviously not enough to lose weight. I recently created a stress fracture in my right ankle while trying to train for a 10k run. Now I'm in a cast and my exercise options are limited. My clothes are telling me that it's time to go up another size but I really don't want to. It's time to deal with this problem!

I am 33 years old, and I am a nurse. I work in a prison. It does make for quite an interesting job! Anyway, I have overweight pretty much my whole life. Right now, I am almost 300 pounds. People tell me I carry my weight very well, and that they would have never guessed I am this heavy. And over all I feel ok. except for my PCOS. And whether my obesity is caused by PCOS, or the other way around, it is killing me! I am sick and tired of the dark patches on my skin, my infertility and the facial hair. Lately it has also been messing my blood sugar up. I need help, so here I am!
