I joined PT in August 08 shortly after turning 40. I turned 41 this summer and I'm now in the best condition in both weight and fitness level in at least 12 years, that takes me back to when I was 29! I've been married for 19 years and have 4 children (15, 13, 7 and 2) and I want to be around for the next 40 years for my wife, children and grandchildren. I had a surge in fitness in 06-07 and completed a sprint triathlon in the spring 07, lost momentum and then broke my ankle in the summer and lost ALL momentum. 2008 was not a good year but 2009 is a new year for a new me... I'm loving life, losing weight and fitting into smaller clothes!
I am an expert dieter and an expert at screwing up my diet. I bounce between 210 lbs & 230 lbs better than most people on earth, and I am tired of it. I want to join the National Guard and serve the soldiers of our country as a chaplain, but, in order to do that, I must weigh 195 lbs. It's time to get serious; it's time to get support. Like I said above, I know my body; I know what I need to do to lose weight. My trouble is after sticking to my diet for a length of time, I fall off and it's hard for me to get back on. That's where I am right now. I have lost 15lbs so far this year, but I haven't lost any weight for a couple of months.
I just made 26 and it's time to get my life in order starting with my weight.
Well I was a Medic in the 82nd Airborne...deployed for 15 months...came back...and got kicked out because I got too fat...So Im kind of doing this as a self-redemption project as well...but anyway, Ill be going to school in the fall, starting my path to English Teacher, then teaching in Japan for a year, only to come back and pick school back up. When I start school (again) for my PhD I would like to become a History Professor.
50 year old, Male, 3 kids, Married to a wonderful woman. Long Term Weight Issues. Growing increasing over '06, '07 and first half of '08....became a health problem, High Blood pressure, cholesterol and gout. Feeling MUCH better now after losing 70 lbs in 2nd half of 08.. Need to maintain and improve by making life style changes permanent. It is true, while losing very tough, maintaining is harder as it is long term...
I am 55 and have a 16 year old daughter. Moved to this area to be able to spend more time with my child
One of my legs started swelling the other day and it's in almost constant pain & I know that it's because of my weight. I'm also skirting the edge of diabetes and have to take blood pressure medication. I'm only 35 and none fo that should be happening
I'm 25 and a PhD student at the University of Maryland. During my senior year of undergrad I got I got tired of being overweight and decided to finally make a change mainly for health reasons. During that first year I lost a good amount of weight, but with the stress of grad school, I started reverting back into my bad old habits which has lead me to gain a lot of weight back. I'm determined to get back down to where I once was. I can do this.
I am a 30 year old male that needs motivation to not only lose the weight, but keep it off. A few years ago I went from 300lbs to 194lbs in about 13months. Although over the last 2 years with moving into a new relationship and stress with work I have gained 80lbs of that back.
53 years old, male, engaged to a marathoner.
I am 42 year old male. Married for 16 yrs with 3 kids. Have been overweight since I was 4 yrs old. Started a weight loss journey in 2002 when my weight topped out at 236lbs (I'm 5'5"). Now hovering around 180 (was down at 166 for about 18 months). Want to get fit which for me is about 155lbs.
I am 44 and 260 lbs (Aug. 2009). I work as a corporate lawyer in Chicago. I love to social dance, swing, hustle and ballroom...some salsa. I lost 50lbs since January 2009, but my goal is 75 this year. I have a skinny girlfriend who has been a tremendous help this year. She has never had a weight problem and, therefore, may not understand some of the issues with my lack of motivation from time to time.
44 year old married computer guy, father of three in Virginia. At my highest my weight peaked out around 360 and my lowest in the last few years has been about 260. I've been the profesisonal yo-yo dieter but rarely to I put on more than I lost in my last attempts. Joined PT 9/22/09 looking for a support group and accountability partners to help motivate me for the long haul.
I am 48 years old and married to a lovely wife of ten years.
