I'm 49 and my goal is to feel healthy and fit.. I struggle with motivation to exercise. My thyroid fights me contantly so I am trying to figure out the best eating plan that works for my body. I love all vegtables and generally eat healthy. Occasional over do it on chocolate and sweets if within reach. Moderation is not a stregnth. Work in progress...

54 y.o. woman; weight struggles most of life, but lost 100 lbs in high school, so used to be confident I can do it again, now I'm not so sure but must try. Sedentary job, but job permits going to gym, so recently found out about a couple of nearby gyms that are not heavily used.

Out-going, people loving, very happily married, woman. Small business owner (work ridiculous hours). Kids are out of the nest - still can't believe I turned 60 earlier this year (don't really look or feel it). I'm 5/2" short and pear-shaped - have always struggled with trying to get and keep weight off. I'm thankful that I have a positive outlook, and am a hard worker.

I am 54 years young. I have gained 35 pounds from where I was in my 20s or even 30s! It's not just a looks thing although that bothers me too. I have some medical problems I am hoping would go away or decrease if I lost weight.

I am a 59 year old single mom. I am 5'5" tall and was at my heaviest ever (except when I was pregnant), weighing 152 in October 2009 when I began my weight loss with peertrainer in earnest. I had been "stuck" being overweight for 4 years, since I went through menopause - even though I ate well and exercised 3-4 times a week. Menopause came and went relatively easily, but ever since, I just could not seem to lose weight using any of my "old tricks". I lost the first 12 pounds in less then two months the next 12 pounds by summer of 2010.
|
I am a 27 year old illustrator and have around 60 pounds to lose.
I know what I should do, it's just doing it that's hard! I've had a difficult time losing weight because of stress. I hope joining Peertrainer will help me keep on track.

I'm married and loving my hubs far more than I ever dreamed after 21 years in relationship with him. We have a 10 year old and an 8 year old. I am the middle child from a family of 5 kids. I'm really close to my family. Enjoy learning, reading, running, bike rides, Mexican food, teaching, and spending time with my loved ones (not in order lol).

I'm fifty-can't-believe-it-3! I'm still 29 at heart, but my body feels much older. Have osteo-arthritis everywhere...severe in my knees and shoulders. Doctors said pain would decrease substantially with weight loss...have not found that to be true. Thinking now that maybe its toxins and poor food choices in general that cause my pain...hope the cleanse makes a difference.

38 year old female. I've always eaten a diet of whole foods and have vegetables in most meals and healthy fats and proteins. And I drink a ton of water. But I've also developed some bad habits, such ~2 glasses of wine a day, overeating wheat when I have it, dependence on having diary in most meals.

I am 53 and an "older mom" who feels plenty young. I have two delightful kids that keep me running (10 and 5 yrs) They have been a joy and a blessing but my body has paid for poor sleep, poor exercise and eating over these last few years. I'm committed to getting healthy and staying healthy...I want to be around for them and my husband for a long, long time!

I am 40 something, single and work in the food and wine industry. I am constantly around food which makes trying to loose weight that much harder for me. A lot of changes at work in the past 6 months have resulted in a temendous amount of stress for me which has caused me to fall back into some bad eating habits and turn to food. Once and for all I want to learn how to deal with stressful situations without turning to food.

I am 55, a fitness professional and personal trainer, married 30 years and the mother of 3 grown sons.The one thing I have learned over the years is that it's more about the food than the exercise!

I am 55 years old, have a husband, step son 20 and a nine year old granddaughter who live with me. I have health issues, spinal stenosis and arthritis, leg and foot pain, stress and anxiety from having a family member who I take care of who has bipolar disorder. I work full-time for government agency, am able to telework 3 days a week due my disability. I have two other adult sons. I think pain from disability also makes me eat and drink too much and my stress is out of control with my daughter who has bipolar disorder, (I know I need to meditate daily, now to find the motivation do commit and do so) Want to always make my emotional and physical pain be eliminated or suppressed with food and drink rather than find alternative coping mechanisms. I am learnimg more through reading about counseling methods that can help with alternative coping methods and plan to begin counseling sessions.

I'm 47, work at home mum of a 4 yr-old. I used to be fit and healthy pre-child and then somehow forgot about my needs in this new family dynamic. It's been 4 years and I'm so ready to get back to feeling like myself and wearing my usual clothes!
I did get there last year, for a little while with JJ, but LIFE got in the way and I didn't stick to it.
