40 year old. Working mom of 2 in CA. Can't seem to lose weight. Hard to find time and commitment to exercise
|
I'm a working-at-home mom, age 44, married 18 years, 3 children ages 9, 12 and 14
|
I'm Evelyn, an american living in greece. I'm 47, love playing tennis (play 3-5 times a week) and working out outside. I work with a trainer once or twice a week and we do anything from running laps to climbing steps to agility exercises. Main weaknesses: sweets and waking up in middle of night for snacks. :(

46, work full time, fighting age with exercise, 5'6", 127 lbs
Married 23 yrs to a fun man. Love to be on the water in our boat so I'm in a bathing suit all summer. Ugh!
|
I'm 45 and single. I have three children, the youngest one in high school and the only one still at home. I am optimistic and fun loving. I love bike rides, hikes, swimming, ice skating. I have struggled most of my adult life with nicotine addiction and recently quit for good.
|
49 years old, soon to be 50! Walking, and exercise videos are my weight loss tools. I would like to try some weight training. I have about 25 pounds to lose. Love music, knitting, reading, chatting with friends, good food, good wine and good times.
|
I have been up and down in weight since high school
I am an outdoors person, but haven't been doing as much hiking etc since I hurt my knee last Feb and gained back the weight that I worked so hard to lose over several months. I was down to around 140 and many sizes 10s were baggy.
|
|
|
I'm 48 and recently married. I'm an engineer, a painter and a ballroom dancer. Dancing is something my husband & I enjoy doing together so that makes it even more fun.
|
42 y.o.Mother of 2 boys, ages 4 and 5. Part-time veterinarian. Soon to be single again. I exercise regularly at a moderate level, but I have plantar fascitis (heel pain) that keeps me from training hard. I have about 30 pounds to lose but would rather just be a size 12 again. Know all about what I am supposed to do to lose weight and get in shape, I just need to keep my focus.
|
|
I like to hike, snowshoe, be outdoors.
I also like to knit and read science fiction.
I hope someday my butt will fit in a kayak again. . .
|
I have recently married and am adjusting to life with someone's else's eating habits to consider. I work full time- have 2 boys 13 & 11 and a stepson 11. I just turned 40 and can't seem to do the same things I used to for weight loss.
My husband can eat anything and still look great- I have put on 20 pounds since marriage.
|
40, female. Enjoy birds, gardening, wildlife, religious studies. Want to get my exercise and eating habits back on track with what they used to be when I first learned how to eat healthier and exercise regularly (about 10-12 years ago). My job seasonally demands a lot of time spent driving. I enjoy archery and it's another goal of mine to do it regularly again.
|
Single, female in San Diego. I recently turned 40 and am increasingly concerned about how being overweight may affect my health now and in the future. I weigh 240 and want to lose 80-100 lbs. Managing my weight has been a life-long struggle. I went on my first diet at age 10 and have been on and off diets since. I used to lose the weight really quickly and easily, I just couldn't ever maintain the weight loss and would end up gaining it back. In recent years, I haven't been able to even lose any weight or stay on a diet. I just keep gaining. I'm ready to give up dieting and adopt healthy eating habits instead. However, I know there's an emotional component to my overeating that I need to get to the root of and need support for. That's what's brought me to the Beck Diet Solution and PeerTrainer in July 2008.

|
I am 47 year old single mom of a beautiful 17 year old. I am an insurance professional. I want to lose weight. I'm tired of this extra weight I have been carrying around for years. I heard about this program on Good Morning America and thought I would give it a try.
|
45 years old, i have lost 40 lbs within a year with weight watchers
now on 1500 calorie a day diet. Working out every day for at least
60 minutes with twice a week strength training. Never exercised before and absolutely love it now have been since last June. I work at home and sit for at least 8 hours a day and have found that it's getting harder to take off pounds
|
52 and life is pretty wonderful but want to amp up fitness and health levels. Just barely 5'2, small frame, so any extra weight "feels" like more to me. I weigh around 115, but would be way more comfortable between 105-110. Not quite menopausal yet, but seems that hormonally related issues keep my abdomen my biggest challenge!
|
I'm a 48-year-old lawyer in Portland. Over the past 12 years I've gained 50 pounds and it's getting worse. Today the scale said 216--the most I've ever weighed in my life. So this is not a good day--something must change.
|
|
Forty something, married, mother of two adult daughters. Vegetarian approximately 10 months. The last year my body has seen some drastic changes. In June I quit a 20 year pack a day smoking habit, a month later, intending to participate in Meatless Mondays, I ended up going vegetarian. Last month I made the full jump to vegan. While I'm more than pleased with my choices, and am careful to get all the nutrients I need, the fact is my lifestyle is sedentary. I used to hike and quit smoking to make the hiking easier. But somewhere along the line I gained twenty pounds and lost energy and motivation to move. I quit smoking and went vegan for a healthier, happier me as well as a healthier planet, but the extra pounds and loss of energy feel anything but healthy or happy.
|
I am a 42 year year old librarian. I am married with 2 children a daughter, 21 and a son, 19. I have hypothyroidism which is a constant battle to control with medication, it makes getting off my butt harder than it used to be. I have been over 200 lbs for the past five years, I just can't seem to below that 200 mark.
|
I am going to be 45 yrs old and have one 14 yr old daughter and have been married 15 years. I am happy in my life except for my weight. I put on this weight due to stress and family problems and moving. Time to move on!
|
I'm a diet dropout. I've done WW four times. Each time I followed the program obsessively (I was such a *good* girl) and lost about 40 pounds. Then, when the obsession waned, I gained it all back---gradually. This time, I have a new approach: Never do anything to lose weight that I am not willing to do for the rest of my life.
|
I have a thyroid issue..I have been fighting it for 4 years . I have put on 30 pds in that time. I would like to lose 40 total.I do work out at a gym but once summer starts will only be walking and whatever else Ican fit in. I have done ww and lost the weight super slow. I am willing to do it again. This is the first step for me. I need a support system. I just want to be healthy.
|
I am a stay at home mother of 3 children, 13, 11, and 8. I tend to put everyones needs ahead of mine, which is why it is easy to skip my workouts.

I'm 41 years old and enjoy being with my 12 year old daughter. She's very active and keep us busy with her activities. I'm an Art Director for Kansas State University. Enjoy living in Manhattan, Kansas. I also enjoy working on my Mac.

Am 49 years old. Mom to 8 ( youngest is 16) and 4 daughter-in-laws . Also am Mimi to 7 grandaughters.
Am VERY busy and that has been one of my excuses. Purchased my own business during the past year and went from working 25 hours outside of home weekly to 60 or more. Lots of stress too.
|
I just turned 40 and I want to get in the best shape ever. Since obesity runs in my family, I'm determined to reverse the curse! I currently weigh 180 and am 5'9". I want to lose 40 lbs so I will be healther for myself and my kids. (age 12 & 10) I also have 2 soon to be step-children (16 & 11) so needless to say, I'm very busy since the kids are my #1 priority. I try to get to the gym a couple times a week but when the kids are all involved in sports, the gym takes a back seat to their activities. Since my fiancee and I got together 5 years ago, his persistent, "you look great and don't need to lose weight" comments, although appreciated, have not kept me focused on my weight and I've put on 40 lbs since we got together. He supports me either way but I'd prefer to weigh 145 for my own sake and that's what I'm determined to do!

Bearing down on 40 in November. I've noticed the past 3-4 years it is much easier to gain the weight than to lose it. I've been athletic most of my life, though not very consistently. My kids are both competitive athletes (good genes?!).
|
I'm exploring America, living full-time on a motorcoach (like John Madden). I write books, give lectures and take photographs while I travel. I also get on a plane a few times a month to shoot or speak at events. There are way too many opportunities for parties, huge dinners and alcohol in my daily life, which means it's very easy to gain weight if you're not thinking about it.
|
married 21 yrs, mother of three, daughter 18, son 15, daughter 12;
seventh grade teacher, work out with weights 3 x's a week and incorporate cardio 2-3 x's a week. I was always thin unitl I hit my forties. I can lose 10 lbs, but cannot lose any more. I have developed high blood pressure and am appalled at my appearance. My husband and I have had several rocky years stemming from financial problems that have really changed my outlook on life and have interfered with my quality of life.
|
|
I'm 51, and I have four grown children. I am not a big person I tend to game weight around my mid-section which is hard to get rid of. I sit at a computer most of the day all week long. I would like to start me a homebase business, so when time for me to retire from this 8-4:30 job, I can supplement what ever kind of income I will have at that time with working from home.
|
Mom of one, in love with my husband and my daughter. Love to laugh, and love food. I am a bit of a "foodie" so I enjoy what I eat, and hate having to say no because someone tells me its bad. I prefer moderation as an approach to eating.

I am 46 yrs young woman and can't seem to lose weight. I lose one pound and gain it back. This has been going on for two months. I am searching for a diet plan that works and fits my lifestyle. I work out 5 days a week so it must be what I am eating that is holding me back from weight loss. I am very frustrated.
|
40 year old wahm with interests in holistic healing, and spiritual studies. I like to read, meditate, and spend time outdoors in nature.
|
I'm 44 single and have always battled with the extra 10 to 15 pounds. The past two years I've stopped working out on a regular basis. I was able to maintain my weight, but in the past year I've gotten very out of shape. I broke my foot 3 months ago which compounded the situation. I eagerly want to work out again, but the days keep passing and I don't seem to make it to the gym. I'd like to spin again, perhaps try running. I'd also like to start weight training and yoga. I want to be fit from eating well and exercising. I want to have more energy. I want to feel good about my body. My clothes are snug and I hate getting dressed for work in the morning.
|
I'm 43 years old, married, 3 kids under 10, with a full time job outside the home. I have struggled with being overweight all of my life but have had a few stretches of "perfect" body weight which felt amazing. I've haven't been able to keep the binge eating out of my bag of tricks. Now is the time because I was diagnosed this fall with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. My doctor said he will give me a few months to make changes and see a difference otherwise I will need medication for both! I picked the name Glamfab (well the first 10 names I really wanted were already taken LOL) but I want a reminder of being glamorous and fabulous again. I want to sparkle and shine again. That must sound SO dorky but - that is how I feel in my heart.

I am 44 years old, married & live in Minnesota. I am very athletic, into many sports such as competitive league tennis, biking, walking, inline skating and cross country skiing. However, this past year, I have really struggled with my weight! As of today, I weighed in at 153.4 :-(( This is really hard for me to admit in public that I weigh that much. I start looking like a stocky German at this weight.
I had success 2 years ago with the Weight Watchers program and I lost about 15 pounds on it. However, I have gained it all back in 2 years. I do moderate levels of exercise on a regular basis and just don't understand why it is so hard to lose weight these days!
|
I joined Peertrainer in May 2006 and have found it to be the most helpful tool I have ever used in my lifelong quest to lose weight. I have never stuck with a program this long before, and I am sure that is why I have been successful! Yet I have had a few setbacks lately and want to get motivated once again. I love this site, and the people I have met here! I plan to stay and keep the motivation going. I find it the most helpful way of maintaining where I want to be.. Thanks PT!!

I have always struggled with weight issues. In my 20's I was 40 lbs lighter than I am now. In my 30's I was 20 lbs lighter than I am now, and in my late 30's and early 40's I gave up and became 50 lbs heavier than I am now. I lost and gained the same 30 lbs from 2000-2004, and finally lost and gained that last 10 lbs for a total of 40 for the last 2 years, and have recently taken another 10 lbs off for a total of 50 in the last year. I am working out now 5-6 days a week and lifting a lot of weights. I have always excercised including running, but now I am subsituting 3 days a weeks of weights. I really want to get the last 25 lbs off and keep it off for good. I am looking for support to keep going and get this last 25 off

I'm a 42 year old mother of a 17 year old daughter. I have been married to my second husband for almost 2 years. I lost a bunch of weight about 7 years ago and I was happy when I weighed 135. I would like to be that weight again. I currently weight 210. I recently go Wii Fit for Christmas and have been doing that along with some walking.

56 and been putting on too much mid section fat for my liking despite regular exercise. I eat fairly healthy but easily overdo the sweets and will greatly overeat at events or situations where food is plentiful. Also don't want to exacerbate arthritis/joint issues recently attributed to Lupus. Love to cook and eat - chocoholic! Am considering changing my diet to help promote good immune system but need to do further research on this (like a gluten free and/or vegetarian diet).

I'm a 27 year old, single mom, full-time student, and part-time waitress. I have juggled with my weight for as long as I can remeber. When I was 14 I weighed 200 pounds, my mom (bless her heart) bribed me to go on a diet so that I wouldn't be so self conscious in high school. I got to 135 and stayed that way for about 9 years. I even worked as a weight loss counselor at LA Weight Loss for 1 1/2 years! Then I hit a really rough patch in my life and gained 30, then lost 30, and gained 20, and lost 10, I'm sure you can see the cycle here. After my son was born in 2005, I worked out and dieted and stayed around 185, I even got down to 174. Which isn't my favorite weight but I'm 5'10'', with a muscular build, so I can carry it decently. I'm currently sitting at about 215, the highest I've ever been besides when I was pregnant. I'm on this medicine that makes me want to eat all the time, as well as making me depressed, that also made me gain 20 pounds - equally depressing. I have tried every diet imaginable, spent lotsa money, and bought expensive equipment (that collects dust in my room). I just want to finally succeed in this, and not have to deal with it EVER AGAIN! I want to as successful in this as I've been in all other aspects of my life. I see my weight as the only thing that stands between me and my completely satisfied life.
|
I need to become more active and need to loose about 40#. I am interested in cycling and indoor rowing to help me get back in shape and loose weight.
|
I have a job that I love, but it is very sedentary with odd hours at times and have gained the weight over the last 10 years there. I have 6 kids that are all grown and I really want to take care of myself and get the weight off for several reasons like potential health problems, how I look...but mostly for how I feel all of the time (tired, awkward). I want to get out there and pursue things I would love to do that are active and really enjoy it. I love food, but I know I also use food to "medicate myself" and to avoid things. I am ready for the weight to be gone and for my way of dealing with things to change.
|
I am very active, I exercise everyday, but obviously eat too much!!

I'm 48, live alone (with 2 dogs) which isn't good for me if I'm trying to do something like diet or exercise (my family is almost 2000 miles away in AZ). While I've been heavy all my life, I've also been healthy - no diabetes, no high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, etc.... It wasn't until the last 12-18 months that I started noticing things that are affecting my quality of life and what I can do with my dogs (I have two dogs that I show). In addition, the arthritis in my knees (diagnosed about 5 years ago), seems to be bothering me more the last year or so. I also feel totally exhausted too often, and really start huffing & puffing after only a few steps. It never used to be like that - even just 2-3 years ago. So I think it's about time I get serious and do something about it.

I am 40 and am the mother of two children (son 23 and daughter 1 years old). I was in good shape for a long time until a new marriage and a brand new baby girl consumed my time and zapped some of my energy. Am looking forward to getting back in shape and regaining some vigor along the way.

Hi! I'm 45, married for 23 years and mom of a wonderful 16 year old son. First I'll say that I've lost 100 pounds so far, yay! People oooh and aaah when they see me. I still have another 30 or 40 to go to be at my goal weight. No, I am not looking to be a size 4, just hoping for a comfortable and healthier weight. It has become harder to continue to lose steadily. I have not "strayed" much, and I continue to walk and go to the gym. But, there comes a point when you feel like..it is okay to let go a little and that is what I want to avoid! Let's support in each in staying the course and keeping things in check.

I have started to write about me 3 times, and everything sounds pathetic. I am 48, fat and depressed. There that sounds like the truth. I used to try to lose and have had success years ago, but now I just gave up. I need to get motivated and I hope this helps. I have a really good life and I need to start enjoying it more. Perimenopause has not helped the situation. It makes things harder to get a handle on. So I need to stop the excuses and get going on the improved me.

|
I am a mother of three. Between going to Culinary school and packing on the pounds and then having three kids back to back I gained almost 100 pounds. Last year I was diagnosed with having Diabetes and put on a drug called Byetta which is supposed to help with weight lose. Didn't do much for me and I didn't take the diabetes very seriously either. I had gestational diabetes with all three pregnancies so I am very aware of what I should be doing. This year while away with one of my children my blood sugar hit 457 the highest ever. It scared me to death. I came home went to the Doctor got on Sugar busters. I was 222 and today I am 175. From the day I started sugar busters my blood sugars have fallen into line. Two weeks ago I bit the bullet and did something I had wanted to do for years. I had a breast reduction! Very painful but has kind of given me a new lease on life and has made me really want to lose the last 50 more than ever. I haven't felt good about me in a long time. I have a great life, kids, husband, horses, dogs etc. I have to be here for it all. I also want to feel pretty again and attractive. I have felt blah for a long time. I used to be so little and attractive. I feel like my husband married a completely different person than I am now (Look wise). So I have started a major exercise program (which I hate!) I got myself an ipod and hit the trail. I do feel better after I walk. After I am released from the surgery doctor I may also join Curves to help tone and lose weight in my stomach. I am a heart attack waiting to happen because I carry all my weight around my middle. Not good!! Hopefully by the fall I will be nearing my goal weight~! Can't wait.

I have weighed around 195 pounds for the last 13 years (ever since my last child was born). I really want to weigh 125 pounds. I know that seems like a big goal, but the Venuto system tells you to set "scary" goals. 125 is a scary goal for me.

I exercised almost every day for the past 25 years. I had spine surgery a year ago and since then, I have gained 10+ lbs and my exercising has come to a screaching halt. I am tired, unmotivated and experiencing frequent bouts with emotional binge eating. I am strong and independent and have always approached life and challenges alone. I am hopeful this tool will prove useful to me and change the way I operate.

I was doing great until after my daughter was born - have been progressively been gaining weight and not exercising. I have always struggled with my weight but did great when I was exercising regularly and not so frequently eating sweets. I recently sold my business and moved, joined a gym and am trying to deal with the sweet tooth that seems to be persistent.

I turned 48 in June. I have been married for 28 years and have a married daughter. She has blessed us with a 5 and 1/2 year old grand daughter and a 3 and a 1/2 year old grand son.
I quit smoking in 2000 and gained 22 lbs. I got back to my goal weight in 2004 but since then I have been losing and regaining the same 5 to 10 lbs. and I have had enough of that! I am also worried that I will regain the 20 plus pounds if I don't get serious about my eating and exercising habits.

I am a 45 year old professional, husband & father. I weighed 178 (1989), 209 (1993) and have since reached 250. I can gain/lose 10-20 in a month and frequently fluctuate between 230 and 240. I tend to over-analyze. In every aspect of my life I am a sprinter not a marathoner. I can work on a project for 16 hours straight, two or three days in a row but then I won't go back to it for months. I have a wealth of knowledge and coach/support others well but I can't seem to do the same for myself. I know that there is only a 1% difference between when things are working for me and when they are not but I cannot tap into that 1% with any regularity.

Turning 50 this June! I have always been active so do not have to worry about exercise motivation but since we moved to the country 2 years ago, I spend more time in my car so I am finding that my daily routine does not involve the walking and moving that it used to. That and the fact that I used to be able to lose 5 or 10 lbs by just upping my exercise, even after gaining 50 lbs with pregnancy I lost it with mostly walking our child in a stroller EVERYWHERE for a year. The last couple of years a slow gain of about 15 pounds..
Our daughter is 7 so at an age where I can start back to doing more of my own activities. I am knowlegable about nutrition, weight loss, and exercise, I just can not seem to get a routine going -- and lack the accountabilty that it is going to take this time!

I don't know what to say here. How do we define ourselves? By our families, careers, personality traits? The types of details we choose in self-definition are probably as revealing as the actual details.
I'm happily single, and hope to stay that way. I have a family which, like most families, is sometimes supportive and sometimes a pain in my derriere. I like my work but wish I earned more money. People describe me as smart and warm and easy to be around. But that doesn't really tell you much, does it?

I used to be very active and was even a bodybuilder for several years. Then I had a couple of children, got busy with the mommy life and suddenly find myself at age 53 going through menopause and being heavier and out-of-shape. I know I can't look 30 again but I sure can feel better inside and out if I lose this flab and put some muscle back on. I have tried to get motivated on my own but find excuses not to work out, eat junk food, etc. so I am very excited about the PEERtrainer concept of group members helping each other stay motivated.
