24 years old, married to the best man in the whole wide universe

I am a 29 year old married, mom of two girls ages 6yrs and 7 months old. After having my last daughter I am tipping the scales at 300. Before I got pregnant with my first daughter I weighed 180 and at graduation from high school I was 150. My doctor says if I don't start losing weight I am borderline diabetic.

I was diagnosed with Breast cancer at age 27 in Nov. of 2006 and I gained 30 pounds during my chemo and radiation treatments, due to the steroids in all the meds I was on. I am still on them but I feel more active now and am ready to shed those extra pounds plus a few more.

i am a 26 year old married mother of a 1 yr old girl and stepmother of a 16 yr old girl. i am a LPN, and i work 40 + hours a week, so i really find it hard to find time to get/eat healthy. i really need some motivation.

I'm a 25 year old high school Language Arts instructor. I have always been a size 2, all through high school and college (with the occasional 5 lb. gain or loss). Upon entering the work force and earning an 18 minute lunch period, I quickly started eating unhealthy, quick meals to make sure that I could get some food in before my next class came.
I also grabbed fast food every night on the way home, because I had an hour drive each way. Convenience was key.
Now I'm 30 pounds heavier. I gained all of the weight over an 8 month period. I've been telling myself I need to lose, but haven't kept up with any plan I've started.
Today (12/6/07) my doctor told me that I need to lose weight. He told me that I'm middle aged and frumpy.
This motivated me for a while but I've found myself sliding away from commitment. Now I'm ready again...and serious!

I'm 28 years old and basically tired of being fat. I know I'm an emotional eater. I've been overweight for a large portion of my life. Its depressing and frustrating, and I know it will eventually kill me. Yet I haven't done anything truly SERIOUS to get and keep the weight off. I've lost small amounts here and there, but I know I have a long way to go.

I'm a tall guy with a reasonably big frame so when I read these medical charts and they tell me I'm supposed to be 180lbs, I wonder if I need to remove an entire leg to make up the difference. I'm overweight at about 240 lbs and with a family full of overweight people it's a tough problem to fix.

I'm a 28 year old man who needs to loose about 100 lbs to reach my goal weight of 165lbs. So I've got a ways to go. I've lost about 50 lbs in the past, but it all came back when I got really busy with school. Ironically, I'm a medical professional I know a lot about the body. Practice on the other hand, turns out to be a bit more difficult.

I'm a 50 year old post menapausal woman with type 2 diabetes and no energy! I don't have the drive or energy to do the things I once loved. I work 2 jobs sitting down at the computer.

|
Currently 38yrs, 5'10", 205lbs, size 14.
I was at my heaviest at age 27 at size 24. I tend to judge my weight by clothing size. I loose weight inconsitantly dropping a size every year or so. But I tend to get stuck in my weight loss because of life changes and depression. Most recently went down a size last fall and seem to be stuck at this size now.

I am 28 years old. I recently moved to STL a little over a year ago from a little town in southern MO called West Plains. I moved to be closer to my bf, finish school and find a better job. So far I am half way through obtaining my degree. I want to be an ultra sound tech in an obgyn office. I currently work as a reservation agent for Enterprise. I have no kids and am not married. Just have my dog;) I have been chunky my WHOLE life. I don;t think there has been a time I have been within a healthy weight for my height since coming out the womb. And I want to get this weight situation under control before I am too old to do so.

My name is Brian. I'm a 29 year-old male, married to Sarah, and father to Luca (1 1/2 years old). I recently joined the 90 challenge to lose some body fat and gain lean muscle, with hopes that my cholesterol will also be lower as a result. I've been on the challenge for only a week and already feel a difference. I have more energy, already lost a couple of pounds of fat, and am looking for some support to keep me going! Would love to talk to and/or meet any of you.
