Hi, I am Debbie I will be 58 on Valentines day. I have been married for 39 years next Friday. I work outside at an auto auction. I get plenty of walking but not much other exercise.
I have a very bad body self image and have trouble sticking to my plans for any extended time. It is like I am afraid to finally succeed. The weight loss you see on my tracker has been since 1/2004. I was 306
then lost to 215 regained to 246 and I am on the decline again. I want off this roller coaster of self destruction. My family is great but I have no weight loss support here. I depend on my MFP family to get me thru.0 -

My name is Nancy and I'm 59, Been married to my sweetheart for 40 yrs.
Lost my job almost 4 yrs ago to oversea (China) after 31yrs. Now that I'm home all the time I'm finding it much harder to lose the weight. Not as active as I was when I was working.
Plus being older makes it harder also.....0 -

I am Brittany. I am a recovering chocolaholic! I am 5'6". I am a 5th grade teacher and LOVE what I do. I have been married for almost 10 years and have a 7 year old and a 4 year old (love this job too). I had a problem with birth control when we got married and it caused me to gain weight. After each kid I gained some more and have had a hard time getting it off (insert chocolate problem). I have to wake up at 4:30 am to work out due to work, kids, homework, working at home, etc. It is difficult! I am here to lose weight to feel better about myself.0

My name is Mari, and I am a foodaholoic! Im 31 getting older and bigger
Not good! Truth is I;m fed up and starting to do this for me. I gained weight from my pregnancies and just never seemed able to get it off. But its time. Theyre getting older and I not only want to be around but want to be someone they admire and are proud of. And...it wouldn't hurt if I can still keep my hubby's attention

Hello! My name is Lisa, I am a 32 year old librarian from Southern California. I like many have struggled with my weight all of my adult life. In 2007 I joined WW and was able to lose about 70 lbs. The fact is I never really changed my eating habits some days I would eat within my points others I would have one large meal (bingey meal) not eat the rest of the day. I also exercised a lot sometimes more then once a day to keep losing or maintaining weight. Obviously these bad habits caught up with me and I started gaining again eventually gaining all my weight back. I have been trying on and off to get back on track. Earlier this year I lost 20+ lbs but found myself resorting to the same bad habits... eating like crap but working out for 3 hours a day to make up for it. Long story short I am starting again and trying to work on doing it healthy this time... and the emotional side of it all. Its going to be a struggle but I know I can do it.0

Im a 33 year old mother of three. I've been married to a wonderful man for 14 years. Up until May of 2012 I managed a large Convenience Store but decided management wasn't for me, and came home to be a Mom again. I now work part time at Arby's just for gas money. And am enjoying the time with my children, while they are still littlish. 0

hey everyone! I am a 25 yr old nurse that lives in Houston, Tx. I am single and have a cat named Jax. I have always had a low self esteem and my weight issues started about 10 years ago, but college and especially nursing school took its toll on me and i gained a bunch of weight due to crazy hours and stress. I hit my bottom when I weighed myself one day and saw I weighed 245. It was the worst realization even to think I was actually that big and only about 23-24 yrs old at that time. Currently I am 206 lbs and hope to be 130-140. Crazy hours and stress are still an issue with my job but I am sick and tired of feeling ashamed/upset about my image and am eager to lose these last approx. 78 lbs so I can finally start enjoying my 20s and move on with my life happier.0

This is it. This week I will be 63. I am widowed and a retired school administrator. We were married for 32 years when he passed away in 2008. in 2010, I retired to focus on my health. I have been on and off diets since 1961. I was in the beginning of Weight Watchers (white bread, liver and canned tuna were required). I was on prescription amphetamines when it was legal. I can no longer count the number of times I have rejoined WW. I did Jenny Craig and other programs. I have been somewhat successful having lost 100 lbs but never have gotten to a healthy weight and stayed there. I began eating Vegan in Sept. 2011 and have stuck to it. I feel good and the weight is slowly coming off. Exercise is my challenge and I am committed. I have a wonderful grown daughter who will be 36 this year and many grand puppies and grand kittens. I hope that one day my daughter and her husband will make me a true grandmother!0

Where do I find the Scripture for the day?0

I could not look at myself in the mirror. Late last year, I realized that I was created in the image and likeness of God (not the excess). I found myself one day looking at myself in the mirror and accepting myself, overweight and all. That is when I knew my time has come. I am going to lose weight until I am back to weight I should be.0

I have a full house to feed. Hubby and I were alone for a month, but then plans changed. Both girls and their boyfriends are back in the house living with us. Due to finances both girls need to move back in with us temporarily. It's going to be interesting.
Anyone else have children move back in? How did it go? How did you survive the whole thing? Any tips?0
