I am stay at home mom of three children (ages 6, 4, and 2). I've been married for 7 years to a wonderful man:) My family is from the south so we I learned how to cook from scratch at a very young age which I now consider a blessing since I'm trying to eat more organic and wholesome foods. I'm trying to limit my processed food to the healthier kind when I do eat them. Overall I'm trying to clean up my eating:)

I am a 35 year-old stay-at-home mom of 4 -- 3 boys -Daniel (12), Joshua (10), Noah (7) and 1 little girl, Rebekah Grace (2 in Aug.). I have been married to my best friend for almost 14 years and feel so very blessed to have my family in my life. I started having weight issues just prior to getting pregnant with my daughter. Before that I averaged around 170-175 pounds (within healthy range for my 6'0" height and larger build). Then, out of nowhere I gained about 15 pounds in a 2 month period. The next month, I found out I was pregnant. Since I was starting out my pregnancy only about 10 pounds shy of what I normally weiged at the end of my pregnancies, I resolved to really watch my diet and exercise regularly. I was doing very well, only gaining 2 pounds during my first trimester, then became very ill and was put on bed rest for a bit. I think a combination of anxiety about my baby's health, boredom, etc. plus the obvious inactivity allowed me to put on almost 20 pounds during my 2nd trimester. Once I was able to be more active again, I was able to manage my weight better and only gained about 7 more pounds in my final trimester. After having my daughter, I had a tremendous downpour of stressors in my life, including the deteriorating health and eventual death of my grandmother (whom we lived with and cared for). Caring for an infant is tough enough, then add 3 other children, a husband and my grandmother who could not even walk from one room to another without help. I was totally overwhelmed. I slept little and often ate to comfort myself during this tough time. Then, in January, my health began to fail. There have been days when my legs suddenly had no strength and I could not walk even 5 feet without a walker. I have always been active and this was a hard blow. The doctors have been unable to find out what is wrong with me, but I know that the extra weight and the way I have been treating my body are not helping. I have resolved to eat healthier and lose weight, as well as exercise on the days I can and not beat myself up about it on the days I can't. This is about so much more than numbers on a scale to me now.

I am a 35 yr old mother of 3. 2 teenagers and one 6 year old. I work full time and my kids are very involved with sports and activities which means we eat on the run, quick, and there's no time for exercise, unless you count folding laundry! I'm an all-or-nothing dieter and trying to find motivation and commitment. I work with women that are heavier than me and some watch their weight, some don't. I have a small frame. 5' 4" and weigh 160 pounds.

I am 63 years old and have let my weight slowly climb a bit each year. I now qualify as very obese on BMI charts. My weight has slowed me down.

I'm 51 years old, and was a pioneer in the field of eating disorders. I was already involved in bizarre eat-purge-fast patterns before anyone ever spoke of such things, before the terms "anorexia, bulimia, eating disorders", etc, were even invented! Now, I'd like to loose weiight sensibly.

I'm a mom to two beautiful little girls. I'm 38, married, I work full time and have such a hard time finding time, energy to work out. I'm 200 pounds and would like to be 140. I'm gonna shoot for 20 pounds right now. Start small. Slow and steady. Plus I suffer from depression and it gets tough sometimes to keep going. Ugghhh

I am enthusiastically complacent (LOL) when it comes to exercise. Prayerfully this group will supply the motivation I need to press on!

I turned 51in February, 2009. I am a Christian woman who has struggled for many years with recurrent and on-going health problems. I have a circulatory condition that causes severe swelling in my body, especially my legs. The health problems started when I was 21 and it is hard to believe that all these years later, I have ballooned to the size I am. I think depression has been part of it, and certainly denial. I did not want to be perceived as someone who was a complainer, or as a person who was disappointed in life and God, so I stuffed my feelings down by keeping my mouth full of food. (You know, it isn't polite to talk with your mouth full!) Of course God always knew how I felt, so I was only fooling myself and those around me who didn't care to take a close enough look at who I was and the struggles I was facing. With God's help and grace, I am coming to realize that life is often tough, and honesty about both your struggles as well as your blessings enables you to face life with integrity and hope. I think that I am finally ready to lose weight and take hold of that for which God has taken hold of me! (If that makes any sense to anyone!)
