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 am 46 years old. I am married and have 2 kids, 6 and 8. I work full time doing night shifts. Over the last year I have put on 10 pounds, most of it this winter. I didn't think my eating habits changed all that much, but I guess they did!

I'm married with two children and just started working full-time last year after working part-time from home since the kids were born. I'm a writer and editor and have written about health and weight loss for 20-plus years. So I know what I need to do. It just has been very difficult for me to do it.

I have so much stress this last year, my 5 yr old granddaughter has Leukemia, and the weight creeps on - mostly to the gut. I know how unhealthy it is, so want to kick in a reset on my body that doesn't respond to usually lack of eating. Looking forward to motivation & change. Gotta get unstuck!!!

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.

I work out 5 days a week at 5:00 in the morning. My job is behind a computer all day long, and I need to get up and moving when I can.

I'm 43 years old and work long hours in a stressful environment as a director of IT engineering in the federal government. Not much time to play or relax or get outside! In the last 10 years I spiraled upwards to a crazy high of 220+ Lbs and it's time to figure out what happened and course-correct!

I am a 67 year old, Grammie of 10. I do yoga 5 times a week. I love my yoga community of friends. 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 have a long term confirmed sensitivity to dairy and gluten, so my diet discipline is very important.

I am single and retired and love the freedom this brings - so many interesting things to do and the time to do them!

So I've done this before. about 3 years ago I was 210-215lbs.I lost a total of 50lbs. This was amazing. I've built up a lot of self confidence (which was actually one of my goals upon first starting with Peertrainer), I look and feel better. But now that I've been at 170lbs for about 2 years, I am starting to see myself as large again. For a long time my goal has been to be about 150lbs. I want to finally reach that. I deserve it and owe it to myself.

I am mid-forties working mom with two teenage daughters and a preteen son. I have taken my body for granted until my digestive system was broken last summer with the total loss of all senses. " Do you not know that your body is the temple for holy spirit?" woke me up and started to pay attention to my life style.

I am 73-year-old retired business woman with 3 married children and 6 grandchildren. I don't take any medications and am in good health. I know that my added weight is an issue and this program will set me on a much better path.

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!

42, married, with two kids. This has been a stressful year, and I have put on weight again. PEERTrainer cleanse has worked well for me in the past. I'm looking forward to getting back on track!!
