I am 43 yr old mother of 3 (college age). I am 217 lbs again! My first goal is 20lbs with weight watchers help. I am divorced and moved to PA a year ago because of my job. Although this was a tough choice, but a great opportunity, it has me sitting in a cubicle 8-10 hours a day! I went from being a very active event planner to a desk job overseeing 40 plus planners and the stress that goes with it all in corporate life..and the weight gain!
|
I recently moved to Philadelphia and have had a hard time meeting new people. When I do go out with friends, it often involves food and drinks. I have always struggled with weight and although it is only 15lbs, I would like to get healthy now before my bad habits get out of control.

I'm 33 years old, married, living in Philadelphia. I was always thin and athletic until about 4 or so years ago when I just stopped really paying attention to what I ate and stopped working out regularly (for no real reason--I wasn't injured, sick, etc). I need motivation.

My name is Candra, and I'm 25 years old.
I'm about 5 '9 - 5'10 and pretty proportionate.
However, I've struggled with my weight for quite some time now. As a child, I had asthma really bad. I practically LIVED in the hospital. That prohibitted me from doing several activites. Not to mention that most of the medications for asthmatics have steroids in them. So I practically inflated in my early childhood years.
Eventually, I sucked it up, and participated in a lot of sports, and even cheerleading when I was a teenager. That helped keep me fit, so I didn't really look overweight.
But as soon as I went to college for Art, and realized that my university didn't even have a gymnasium, fitness program, or anything that involved being physically active, the pounds started to appear like they never had before.
I went from weighing about 180 to a whopping 250 pounds over the course of about 5 years. I look back on some of my old pictures and I just can't believe I allowed that to happen.
It wasn't until this year that I heard the phrase, "You have to lose 100 pounds" escaping the lips of my primary doctor that I decided to really get serious about my weightloss and my overall fitness.
I started a workout group with a close friend of mine and it was very successful up until the heat of the summer impacted on the program. Given that we did outdoor activities, we had to put the program on hold until we could find an indoor facility.
Since that setback, I've been amping up the amounts of lean protein I consume, as well as adding lots of green foods to my diet; green beans and salads have become my new best friend.
I try to go to the gym at least 4 to 5 days out of week to do intense cardio workouts, as well as making preparations to startup the fitness program again.
I hoping to reach my overall goal of 100 pounds, or at least close to it. But I'd be happy if I could lose 50 pounds by August for my family reunion cruise.
Wish me luck.

I'm a designer, and I sit behind a computer most of the day.
I believe I am a nice looking female, and I don't look like I weigh as much as I do because I am tall. I'd like to look even better by losing my desired amount of weight.

I am 28 years old and live in Mount Laurel, NJ with my husband of 4 years. I do not have any children...except for my dog, Elvis. I recently lost about 30 pounds but I have been gaining/losing the last 5 for the past few months. I have 15 pounds to go before I reach my goal. I have a carb addiction...I dont like lifting weights....but I'm motivated and focused on my goal. I eat out a lot--trying to cut back. One of my biggest challanges is that I am only 5'0" so 5 pounds on me makes a HUGE difference.

I'm 22 and just starting my senior year of college. I used to be a competitive soccer player, but after a serious injury 2 years ago, I've been unable to do any contact sports or high-impact exercise. I was used to being able to eat basically whatever I wanted, so because of the lack of exercise (and keeping the same eating habits), I gained about 40 pounds.
So basically I'm just trying to get back into shape at least somewhat, and in the process lose some weight!

I have lived all over the place. I was a competitive swimmer all through my teens so was swimming 5 hours a day and never had to think about weight loss or dieting. I could eat in excess of 3000 calories a day.. it was great:) Anyways injury forced me into retirement and over the last 4 years the weight has crept on. I just moved to Philadelphia, I am getting married to my boyfriend of 6 years next november and I am in a couple weddings next summer so they serve as goals to get my butt into shape again.
