I am a 58 year old female lawyer that has had a health issue that contributed to a slow weight gain over the past 10 years. I need to reverse this trend despite having to take hydrocortisone for the rest of my life. Hydrocortisone tends to put weight on, especially in the stomach area.

I'm a training consultant and write books about web development. 44 yo woman who lost 60 lbs and has gained 40 back. I've got to get my life under control and stay with what I KNOW makes me feel good. I'm doing this because I feel great when I eat right. It's not so much an aesthetic thing although that is nice too.

Want to believe that I am capable of loosing that weight ... but I have some major issues ... I love to cook, I love eating, I have never been able to follow a diet (actually never have really tried so very much open to trick here !!!) ... I am a working mom with two young kids who whises days would have 48 hours ... Husband is no better than me on the subject ...

I'm 56, a Seattle writer (a very sedentary job!), happily married, one grown step-daughter. My work is extremely stressful, but also rewarding.I have a lot of good friends, and enjoy literature, music, baseball, movies, life. In the past several years I've gone through a difficult menopause, and now I have recurring stomach problems -- IBS, reflux. It's very difficult for me to look at a picture of myself, without thinking how terrible I look. I'd love to someday have the "outer" me correspond more with the "inner 'me. I need, and hope to find here, some regular support and inspiration, and to support others in return.

Turning 48 in a few weeks, getting divorced in a few months (more or less) - well, at least moving out, and have been going up and down on the same 10-15 pounds for years. I have a middle-school age son. Hmmm, what else. Well, more info will come out as the logs continue. If the logs continue...okay, AS the logs continue....

I'm a 44 yr old divorced male. About 4 months ago I started gaining weigh like crazy. I've never been skinny but put on an additinal 30 lbs. I've got to do something and my brother lost 20 lbs on a diet so I'm going to try as well.

28 yo female in Seattle, WA- insisting that I don't enter my Thirties overweight.. I've had a wonderful stint with Weight Watchers that produced a weight loss of over 35lbs, but thought I could do it by myselfs and needless to say! I'm back..

I am 29 and I weight TOO much! I need to get motivated and drop 50 soon. I am embarrassed that I have let it get this out of control! I need to take charge before it is too late!

I finally got sick of not being completely happy with who I am. And now all that talk about losing weight beore, I guess I'm finally doing it. I gained over 70lbs about 4-5 years ago, and I'm finally ready emotionally to lose the weight. I can feel that this time, I'm really going to do it. That's part of the reason I joined this site. I realize now that trying to lose weight, is like trying to stop an addiction. You NEED a support system just like an alcoholic would.
***UPDATE*** So true....why did i leave?

I have been trying to lose weight for years and after a week or two I lose my motivation and have a very hard time getting back to it.
I design kitchens for work and work from home. I have a lot of sitting time.

I'm 20 years old. Last year, I lost around 58-60 pounds following a healthy diet and exercise regiment. Following a bit of an emotional crisis , over the past three months I gained 25 of those pounds. I am trying to improve my horrible relationship and understanding of food, and work on being happy both with my external and internal features.

Well, I'm presently a senior in High School but I feel like I'm on the path to a very dark place-obesity and depression. Anyway, I'm 5' 71/2" tall and I'm going on 160 pounds. I can't afford a gym membership or any expensive equipment so I'm pretty much limited to an old treadmill(that still works :)) and some other little things that I could use.
-I'll be living with my parents through college
-plan on going to Bellevue Community College/Bastyr in the Fall of 2010! So excited

I am in my early 50's - professional- grown kids but dogs that feel like kids now- married- I love to cook and realize creating foods is an outlet for me. So trying to step up the exercise and cook more the way I should is my goal now.
