I'm a 43 year old office worker. I like going to the gym but never stay there long enough to make any impact. I weigh 15 stone and my ideal weight is 12 stone so I have a lot of work to do to get to my target.

17 year old girl...i used to be really really skinny, but it wasn't healthy (although it wasn't an eating disorder), i've since gained a healthy amount of weight, and have been relatively happy with my body. lately though ive realized my health is not where it should be. im following a very unhealthy lifestyle of binge eating and no exercise during my few weeks of no soccer. every night i tell myself the next day i will start my new healthy lifestyle. and it never happens. food is my weakness, i just simply like eating. i eat eat eat, just because i want to. i really just want to be a health nut and eat great and feel great, and that is my primary goal. i know if i do this, i will get my abs back and will feel better and even perform better on the soccer field.

I'm 18 and going to college later this fall. I've been overweight as long as I can remember and I finally want it to stop once and for all. I don't care how long it takes me, I just need to see results and have people that will encourage and support me. Other than that I like to watch movies, listen to music, hang out with friends, play badminton, dance...the usual. My biggest problem is that I LOVE FOOD and hopefully I'll learn to break up with food successfully :)

36 years old, I'm a stay at home mother of 3, I've been married for 13 years.

I have a job where I sit on my butt all day. I'm stuck in front of a computer all day. As a hobby I write short stories (MORE sitting down).

I'm 24 and am working on finishing a duel master's program. Last year I worked really hard in work and class, but gained about 17lbs by not working out everyday like I used to... so now I weigh 167lbs. I love living in the city and going out with friends, but also never pass up a chance to leave the city for hiking, kayaking, etc. I have never joined a weight loss/ fitness group, but need to feel accountable and think this will be trick!
|
Sometimes I think that if I just ignore my weight problem that it will just fix itself, but after a lifetime of being overweight I think I've finally realized that I need to take control of it. I'm 28 and I don't want to enter my 30s being overweight and out of shape.

I work full time in the city of London, study part time and I want to become a part time fitness instructor to help other people with their weight and fitness.

I have been overweight for the past 13 years. I used to be a gym rat and teach aerobics but I have always struggled with food issues. I find that very hard to admit because it leaves me feeling weak but I want to be honest with myself. I am a single mom of a 10 year old daughter! I don't want to pass on to her my legacy. I'm juggling a full time job in marketing, a part time job and raising my child. I'm not the best organized person and sometimes my life overwhelms me. I haven't dated anyone for 4 years. Sometimes my life feels like my life has taken off without me. I need to focus more on myself so I can be a happy healthy role model for my daughter. I love life! Love my friends and family. I know that I can make the change I need and I look forward to meeting others like me!

Hello, All!
I'm a "kept man" :-). My wife teaches school, so I stay at home with the 3 kidlets, ages 2, 3, and 5, and am now homeschooling the oldest. I work nights in a banking call center to help out with the bills at home.
I've been heavy all my life, have done the yo-yo dieting thing OVER and OVER and OVER.... I was about ready to give up and go for gastric bypass (my mom had the surgery and lost over 100 lbs, but there have been complications for her as well). I had just gotten a new Dr., and figured that, with his advice and guidance, I'd give it one more shot first, after all, I really do prefer to avoid having my digestive system sliced up if I can. That was last November 10 (Marine Corps Birthday, ooh-rah) when I weighed in at 295.5 on my home scale. This week I weighed in at 237, although I had plateaued at about 240-245 for the last month. Just here for new ideas and support.
Probably TMI, if so I apologize. If not, please ask for any 4-1-1 that I may have left out.

Single, 37 year old who used to be very committed to exercise and healthy eating. The past few years I have had a hard time being consistent with my diet and exercise. I'll become very motivated for a short period of time and loose weight but then I gain it all back - and then some. Looking forward to the support of a group.

I love to exercise, but have a difficult time maintaining it. I suppose I am the queen of on and off the work out regimen.
I like to do things that are fun and keep me interested..I am on maternity leave till December so I would like to take advantage of my time at home till I go back to work. I have a 4-year-old daughter and am married to my sweetheart. I love to read, go to the mall, watch movies, and try new hobbies.

I'm a 22-year-old recent college grad and former athlete; I'd love to get back in shape and lose about 30 lbs. I lost a lot of fitness because of injuries (namely, tendonitis and a broken femur in '07) and plan to regain fitness through a careful but challenging workout regimen.

This journey is a long, continuous journey that I have always struggled with. A week ago, I received a letter in the mail from my grandmother - one of the few people that is always supposed to support you - the letter stated that she felt I was extremely overweight and she didn't know how I could ever be happy like this. I knew that I was overweight, but I didn't know it had gotten to that point - where even my own grandmother felt like she had to tell me.
I am only 25 years old - in the prime of my life - and I know that if it doesn't get taken care of now, it never will. I am married to a great man that supports me. I am a preschool teacher. I really enjoy my life, but I know that I have to get this taken care of.

I am a Christian first. God is the most important thing to me. I have an amazing and hot husband. My kids 18 months and 29 months are our world. My dad, mom, bro, and sis are blessings.
|
I am 27 and interested in fixing some bad eating habits that I have fallen into for the past few years. It is unrealistic to exercise each day so I will be mostly adjusting calories.
|
I am in the Tampa, FL area, and at my very, very heaviest I was 260 lbs. I lost 61 pounds in the space of 6 months. That was about 6 years ago and I've stayed between 195 and 200 for a very long time. I'm 27 years old, and I'd like to be able to act my age. When I was in high school, I was in competitive swimming, cross country running, I played softball. I have friends that do all these things now, and I'd like to join them. I'd like to be the one that can throw on a bikini and not go "Oh my goodness... That goo on my stomach looks even worse in *this* mirror"

I'm a 23-year-old Canadian medical student. As you can imagine, the importance of eating well, exercising, and maintaining an appropriate BMI and waist circumferance are things constantly reiterated to us. My own health, as well as the desire to be a role-model for my patients, motivates me to continue battling my for my weight and health.
In my late teens, I lost 40lbs thanks to diet and exercise, and have kept it off. Nevertheless, I'm still overweight and, particularly with the demanding workload of med school, struggle with finding time to exercise and cook.

I am a long time sufferer of depression and OCD. I am currently on medication and I also suffer from severe asthema. I want to change my habbits and feel better. I am going to college to earn a degree in education. I work as a care giver and I can't wait till I am able to quit my job to become a teacher! I have been strugling with my weight for a few years now, ever since we moved from my hometown of Seattle. I am married and I am 35 years old. I have a gorgeous 13 yr old daughter who keeps me very busy! Needless to say with working, going to school, and raising a family I am sometimes very stressed out! I really enjoy drinking coffee, watching films, anything to do with arts and crafts, coffee, Photography ( Yeah I love the digital age) decorating, Painting, shopping, politics, and ohh did I mention drinking coffee.

At 5'9", 189 lbs doesn't sound outrageous. I'm about 40 lbs away from my ideal weight, and have been here for the past 7-8 years. I've been good at staying at this weight and not adding on more, but its time I lose this extra weight now, and get into that fabulous dress that I've always dreamed of wearing!
I hope PT helps me, like it has helped so many of you!
|
I'm 17. I love to ski, play competitive tennis, and run cross country. I want to lose weight to improve at cross country, and look better. I also want to be able to share clothes with my skinny older sister!
|
I am 5'9 first and foremost. Currently in college, 21 years old, have been struggling with weight since I was a child. At age 12 I had to get two sinus surgeries and dramatically went from huge to an unhealthy 117 lbs. As most people know once you lose weight you aren't always happy because there's extra skin and problems from being big. Anyways, I am fluctuating in the 140/50/60s lately and goal is to be back in the 140s! Peer groups always help so leave me comments :)

bachelor of engineering,after graduation have been working for 4 yearsnow , I work full time, almost 10 hours a day and get to sleep for only 5 hours daily. Due to work pressure never took proper care of my body, I realized that its high time I take care of myself.
|
I am a 24 year old female, and hope to lose about 50 lbs by the end of the year and keep it off! I have always had a weight problem...I am finally motivated again to take it off.
I want to be happy again....
|
I'm about to turn 23 and after a year of attempting to lose weight and making no progress whatsoever I'm fed up and recommitting myself fully. I have 55 pounds to lose and I am going to lose them now.
